DEMO: “Starting Strong” with Jen Starling
As artists we can learn from and be inspired by many forms of art expression. This season we will be treated to artists employing various media with experience and insights to share that transcend the boundaries of single a medium. Jen will demo a portrait in oil.
Jen Starling focused seriously on ballet and modern dance throughout her childhood and adult life. She has a B.A. in Performance Art from the University of Maryland. Starling discovered painting at age 40, but no stranger to discipline, she has dedicated herself to a demanding studio practice, studying with master painters, showing her work, and teaching at the Art Student League of Denver. In addition, she is passionate about providing affordable art education on Patreon with fellow artist Daniel Sprick. Finally, she has won awards from The Portrait Society of America, Plein Air Salon, Modern Impressionist Magazine, and Oil Painters of America. Her work has been published in International Artist Magazine, Plain Air Magazine, American Art Collector, and Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine.
This will be the first in a Spring series focusing on fundamental skills and mastery of elements needed for creating a successful painting.
Art Tribe, our PSC monthly social event for those of us who want to talk about art and other subjects, has been on the last Thursday of every month. But the last Thursdays of November and December are holidays, so we will start up Art Tribe again on the afternoon of January 29, 2026.
We will gather from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Eddy Taproom, 1640 Eighth Street in Golden, and we would be delighted to see you there. While waiting for the return of Art Tribe, we leave you with a painting thought from Brain Food, a blog by Shane Parrish: “When you fall in love with the process rather than the outcome, you don’t have to wait to be happy.” Keep painting, my friends, and give Art Tribe a try in January.
