My name is  J e n n i f e r  C r u d e n.  I am a full-time artist, painting with oils mostly on a larger scale, the New Zealand landscape and having a love of resin art. View my art via the mountain image - please scroll down. 

Thoroughly enjoying passing on the knowledge I have gained to others so they may also enjoy the pleasure that art brings to all of us.  

 

A b o u t  - (NZ Art Classes & Workshops)   

Held in the Auckland area these Art Classes/Workshops operate only a few times per year.  Having been set up to assist and impart knowledge to those who are interested in attending day/evening art workshops in oil painting, colour mixing , resin art, fluid acrylic painting, as well as life drawing and 'en plein air' (a French term for painting out in the open air on location) .
