Visiting J-Sei on a Thursday afternoon, you might happen upon a light-filled room with murmurs of soft conversation and gentle encouragement, amidst the quiet focus of seniors practicing the art of Watercolor Painting with Wendy Yoshimura. Come witness a varied and expansive breadth of creative works by eighteen artists that express a glimpse of color, light and joy.
I want to teach my students how to enjoy painting. – Wendy Yoshimura
Wendy sees color and light that are not apparent to us. She sees beauty in things. She helps us to see things in a different light. – Vicky Jennings
Wendy is always encouraging. She shows us how to bring out the best in our work. Wendy can help people who have never painted before to have the confidence to explore. – Nobuo Nishi
I learn a lot about technique from Wendy, but she also has a very free spirit and an artistic spirit. I learn from her spirit. She lets us fly freely. – Daisy Tsujimoto
