Students choose their model based on their experience, personal interests, and with guidance from their instructor. The goal is to select a model that offers a balanced challenge—one that encourages learning new techniques and aspects of the artistic process, while still being achievable within a reasonable timeframe. The instructor will help students make a choice that aligns with their skill level and artistic goals, ensuring both growth and satisfaction in their work.
Parents are required to drop off and pick up their children, or they may assign an adult to do so. If a child is of appropriate age and with parental consent, they may leave on their own. Due to limited space in the studio, we kindly ask that you minimize your time spent in the studio during drop-off and pick-up. If you have any questions or need to discuss details, please feel free to call or visit after scheduling a time.
We do not operate on a set semester or term schedule. Instead, we typically book classes in advance for a block of four sessions, with each session lasting a minimum of one hour.
We aim to collaborate with guest artists regularly to keep our programs fresh and inspiring. There’s no fixed schedule—it depends on the opportunities and proposals we receive.
Our classes offer students a hands-on, model-based approach that allows them to develop foundational skills in drawing and painting through practical application rather than extensive theory. By choosing their own models and working under guided supervision, students not only gain technical proficiency but also a personal investment in their work. This approach has led some students to produce high-quality artwork that they’ve gone on to sell at exhibitions and art shows, showcasing the real-world value and artistic growth achieved through our program.
Jey primarily works with nature and portraiture, using a variety of mediums like oil, acrylic, pastel, and watercolor. The style is a blend of realism, focusing on detailed, lifelike depictions, and impressionism, which captures the mood and essence of a scene with loose brushwork and vibrant color. This combination allows Jey to create works that balance technical precision with emotional depth.
In our drawing classes, students begin with foundational techniques like sketching, shading, and perspective. We focus on building skills in proportion, composition, and capturing light and shadow to create both realistic and expressive drawings. Students explore various mediums such as graphite, charcoal, and ink, with a focus on still life and figure drawing
In our acrylic and oil painting classes, students learn the basics of working with these versatile paints, from color mixing to layering techniques. We cover methods such as glazing, impasto, and dry brushing, helping students achieve depth, texture, and vibrancy in their work. Both acrylic and oil classes emphasize composition, brushwork, and the principles of light and color. Students are encouraged to experiment with different styles, from realism to abstraction, while developing their own creative voice.
If you need to cancel a group class, please provide at least 12 hours’ notice. Your payment for the canceled session will be credited toward a make-up class or applied to your next classes, based on availability. However, if you do not show up without giving 12 hours’ notice, we will need to charge for the missed session.
Relief painting is a unique technique that combines painting with three-dimensional elements. Students work with various materials to create textured artwork that plays with light and depth.
This program is designed for individuals wishing to teach art to young children in daycare settings. It includes techniques in drawing, painting, and creative child engagement strategies. This program is currently inactive and pending review.
Class durations vary:
· Group classes are generally 1–2 hours long.

There is ample street parking available around Jey Art Studio. During busier times, please allow some extra time to find a spot. The studio is easily accessible from Lonsdale Avenue and nearby side streets.
You can start by contacting us through our website or emailing us with your portfolio and a brief description of your proposal. After an initial review, we’ll arrange a meeting to discuss the details.
Parents or assigned adults are required to drop off and pick up children. For older children with consent, they may leave on their own. We request that parents minimize their time in the studio during drop-off and pick-up to ensure smooth transitions.
In our art classes, students dive into a model-based, hands-on learning experience, focusing on essential drawing and painting techniques like shadowing, circumferential lines, blending, fading, and light and color. We minimize time spent on theories and rigid structures; instead, students choose their own models to work from with the help of their instructor, fostering personal investment and creativity as they develop skills through practical application and guided supervision.
We require at least 12 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Classes canceled without sufficient notice will be forfeited. Please contact us directly for any changes or requests.
With younger children, we focus on model-based learning, but with simplified models that are age-appropriate. We encourage them to express their creativity while maintaining the basic structure of the model. The goal is to build foundational skills and confidence, while allowing them the freedom to add their own unique touch to their artwork
Basic supplies like pencils, brushes, and sketchbooks are required for most classes. For specific mediums (e.g., oil painting or pottery), additional materials may be required, and we’ll inform you beforehand.
We accept payments via credit card, debit card, cash and e transfer. Payment is required to confirm your spot in the class.
For our drawing and painting classes, students will need basic art supplies, including pencils, erasers, sketchbooks, and appropriate materials for the chosen medium (acrylic or oil paints, brushes, palettes, etc.). The exact supplies required may vary depending on the class and age group. We recommend contacting Jey Art Studio for specific details about the materials needed for your class to ensure you have the right items.
