LEARN TO PAINT
Comprehensive Online Painting Instruction
"My goal is to make learning comprehensive and enjoyable, and to teach students how to paint...not how to paint like me." - Jill
I've designed my classes to be as thorough and sequential as possible, guiding the student step-by-step through a clear yet enjoyable teaching method. I explain everything with a visually-oriented person in mind, since art itself is a visually-oriented field.
