What to Expect in my Art Classes
Always an avid student myself, I now have the privilege of helping guide other artists in the direction of exciting new pathways and illuminating different perspectives that are possible within their own art.
Every class or workshop I teach, even every YouTube video I've yet to make, I want you to walk away from knowing a little bit more about how to get the results you want in your own art.
My goal is less to tell you how I create my art, and more to distill the thought processes that you can use to evolve your own practice into a better form of itself.
AT THE END OF THE DAY,
YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO TELL YOU HOW TO PAINT LIKE THEM,
YOU WANT SOMEONE TO HELP YOU
PAINT LIKE YOU, BUT BETTER.
Where I teach:
I like to offer different class types, platforms, and opportunities to meet each student's unique availability, learning behavior, or physical location. Local to the Berkshires? Try an in-person class! Learn better at home or at your own pace? I recommend one of my online offerings!
A versatile approach to the art of watercolor painting, this class will familiarize students with supplies, theory, and techniques. Practicing washes and brushwork, students will learn about water control and working with their paints. We'll slowly expand the skills covered to include more subtle and nuanced techniques each week. By the end of the class students should have a foundation to pursue watercolor techniques in a variety of methods. This class is open to new and continuing students.

Repeat, improve, repeat, improve...
Find out how following a thread of an idea can produce interesting and unexpected results. Learn how to focus on one or many variables to make your series tie together. Use the class to plan out sketches of a series idea or to get started on a central technique with a few foundational pieces. Open to any medium, although Jill will be working in watercolor.

Level Up on SkillShare
I like to think of my classes on Skillshare as studio-basics. Based on thought processes and foundational concepts, they'll get your creative gears turning.
