— PRISCILLA HEISEL“If you are shy about your ability to draw or paint, but have always wanted to take a simple, stress-free, class to learn some basic techniques to get yourself out of your own head, this is the class for you. Jill Badonsky is not only an artist but she's a miracle worker. I was so nervous about taking an art class but with how Jill teaches, I promise you will learn a lot of techniques that will get you out of your own way! Just do it!”

— JANE ECHOLS“As I’m sure you already know, Jill is a remarkable teacher! I don’t think I’ve ever learned more and had more fun than in her class!
This was my first art class since grade school and exactly what I needed during this time of the world turned upside down! Even if the world was ‘right side up’ I would still have loved it!
She has a wonderful presence and is a kind, nonjudgmental witness to us and still offers insightful, wise suggestions on how we could enhance our work.
Even though I’m a beginner, she has a way of instilling confidence and urges us to set aside perfectionism and comparison (two lifelong challenges for me). This, along with her sparkling sense of humor and warm, authentic nature has made taking this class; a truly JOY-full experience for me.
I sincerely hope that you will invite Jill to teach many more classes! She’s the bomb.”
— SUE RIVER“Staff (Amanda) and instructors (Lori and Jill) were so patient and helpful in helping all of us become comfortable using the Zoom format. Any hesitation I had in using an online format was quickly put to rest and I quickly enjoyed the time to have fun and create with inspiring instructors!”

Zoom classes are the next best thing to being in a classroom because they are live...you get to see everyone and connect via discussions, questions, sharing, show and tell, breakout sessions and you get personal attention. Video demonstrations and presentations are very easy to view. I enjoyed the ZOOM classroom very much...the bonus is I live over 2000 km away from where the course was offered. Lucky Me!”

Read More“I had not had much experience with watercolors or formal art classes and was really happy with the practical introduction to creativity and some very basic techniques to start watercolor painting with pen drawings. There was limited time for a lot of technique training but lots of hands on practice. The online class format was new to me and at times cumbersome but class would not have been possible otherwise. It was also much easier than driving from La Mesa where I live. I would be interested in what others thought of the experience.”
— CARLA FOX“Jill did an amazing job of making her class enjoyable online! I’d certainly take another online class with her.”

— SUSAN O'BRIEN“Zoom opens up incredible opportunities to take a class with family and friends who live in other cities. A fun way to enjoy the experience together.”
— CHUCK LAUGHLIN“Zoom is the perfect way to learn to do art. No one is looking at your ‘mistakes’ and you can get personalized help any time you want it. So easy!”
