About Zoom: 
Zoom is a software application that allows users to have meetings,  workshops and webinars online through the use of your device's camera and audio system.  
You DO NOT have to have a Zoom account to attend or participate in  a Zoom meeting or workshop.
But you do need to have Zoom downloaded to your device that you intend using. 
You can download Zoom, free and easily to your device, a number of ways:  from the url www.zoom.us  , (Zoom client for meetings) , or the App Store on iphones and ipads, or Google Play on android.   
OR  Jenny will email you with workshop details in the days prior to your workshop.  There will be a zoom link in the email.  If you haven't already, you will be prompted to download the software, once you have clicked on the link that you have been provided. You can do this in plenty of time before the workshop. (simply click it again when it's time for the workshop.)  You  may be prompted to make an account, but you DO NOT need an account, as the joiner.  When starting the workshop, click the link, you'll be asked if you want to join use computer audio and video. Say yes, and there you are!

You'll see your tutor through two cameras, one pointing at the 
workspace for a direct view of the painting area and palette. >
Note: Zoom workshops are NOT recorded to protect your privacy
and NBW copyright.  You may screenshot if you wish but
may not reproduce screenshots of NBW tutorials without our

express permission.   Class notes will be emailed after the workshop

​

What you need for Jenny's Zoom Workshops: 
1. A valid email address - which you are able to check and to receive your zoom instant-join link and password.
2. A computer, laptop or tablet with the free Zoom application installed from Google Play or App Store 
3. On that same device - a functioning webcam / camera and functioning audio/speakers  (as the Zoom application is a video link.) Most ipads and tablets and smartphones have an integrated camera, some laptops have an integrated camera, or you could buy and install a webcam. 
4. You'll also need the equipment listed below for your workshop (which will be repeated in an email sent after your booking is received.)

5. If requested (by email when you receive your zoom link) you may be asked to complete some pre-class work, such as drawing up.  Precise instructions will be given in these cases. As some students are slower drawers than others, it is preferable to complete this preclass work (where suggested only) to ensure you stay up with the class, as we are unable to wait for students who have not completed this work, once class has started.  Most drawing up will take place IN class, so please do not over draw your work before start.

About Payment: 
Australians: bank deposit, credit card, debit card, paypal. Bank deposit must be cleared before class.
International visitors: credit card or paypal options only.  NO bank deposit.
