Did they love it?


"Thank Goodness I found this courseI had no idea what I was missing out on, I thought I was an intermediate painter, I'm SO glad I started from the start, its made a huge difference to the quality of my painting."

- Marie Gunderson

"I am absolutely loving Jenny’s classes with her excellent way of teaching and getting the information across. Always clear and precise in a friendly fun manner."

- Carmel Fullerton

"WOW, that was the absolute best 2.5 hours (my first class) I have had for a VERY long time. Jenny is not only a talented artist, but she also has a gift in translating that talent into teaching in a very easy to follow and enjoyable way. Totally recommend, if you're willing, Jenny is able :)"

- Jodie B.

With the helpful step by step guidance I was able to paint something that I didn't think I was capable of, AND had a lot of fun doing it. I love that we get the subject to paint, with great instructions on how to bring all that we have learned together:
