"Thank you Jill for an extremely enjoyable morning! My sister Chris, who has been painting for many years now, really enjoyed trying out the oils and is now very keen to use them again. I had not used acrylics before and will definitely give them another go. Your knowledge and experience, not to mention patience, was very evident and we feel that we gained a lot from the course. By the way, the soup was delicious!"

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Thank you so much! Jill x"

"Fantastic day thank you Jill. As you know I am very new to painting and I am so pleased I started with acrylics - I just wish I had found my love sooner. It was lovely to work with a variety of colours and to be shown techniques with the variety of brushes that you have. Very informative and great tips. I would love to come again and learn more from you. Thank your husband for growing those lovely courgettes, very tasty lunch. I had a very relaxing and enjoyable day. "

"I got this full day experience for myself and my partner, as a surprise Birthday present. Jill was so friendly and helpful and put me at ease when booking. The day itself was amazing and we both enjoyed ourselves so much. We both came away with completed acrylic pictures, that we can't wait to put up in our home. Jill was so patient, friendly and knowledgeable, she gave us the confidence to be able to paint and have fun. Lunch was beautiful and Jill catered to us being vegetarian, with a lovely salad and spinach bites. I would highly recommend this course and we would love to come back again in the future. "

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Thank you so much, Jemma, you were amazing! xx"

"Apologies as this is a late review. I had the pleasure of spending 2 days with Jill on the 28th/29th March which has helped to kick start a long held passion to paint. Jill is a excellent and patient tutor and an amazing artist. I look forward to returning."

"Very instructive course in a medium I was not familiar with. Jill's advice and guidance was given in a friendly manner. Would recommend this course."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Rob, You worked so well in an unknown medium - with massively different colour vibrancy [to watercolour or inks] etc, you did a sterling job, well done on that piece and keep it up! Jill"

Val Mayo reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - HALF DAY

"Wow! As an absolute beginner at using acrylics to create a "proper" painting, I was a little terrified when faced with putting brush to canvas. Jill was very supportive and encouraging, and at the end of the day, which included a lovely lunch prepared by Jill, I went home with a piece of art that I'm actually very proud of. The only disappointing bit was when our crafty session was over and I had to leave! I am definitely planning a return visit, hopefully in the not-too-distant future. Thank you Jill x"

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Val, That’s so lovely of you! Your painting was amazing! And I’m delighted you enjoyed your day! Hoping to see you here again, Jill x"

Sonia Robinson reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - FULL DAY

"Took my mum for a Mother’s Day present for a whole day. We both thoroughly enjoyed the day. Jill was so encouraging. It was a lovely setting in a nice light studio, very calm and relaxing day and under Jill’s expert tuition both of us came away quite proud of what we’d achieved. We had a delicious home made lunch which was accompanied by some home made bread made by Jill’s lovely husband. A truly memorable day spent in the company of a charming couple. Thank you very, very much."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Thank you Sonia, I’m so glad that you both had a lovely day, and your superb painting talents shone through! Well done to you both on the lovely cottage pieces, and it was great to meet you both! Keep up the fabulous painting works! Jill"

Jean Whittaker reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - FULL DAY

"I was not disappointed returning for another four days of painting, learning new and exciting techniques. I can accomplish seascapes and boats with confidence and have now moved onto landscapes with Jill’s expert tuition, so much has been achieved. Jill is so encouraging, instills confidence and makes painting fun. The delicious lunches (which we had in their lovely garden) adds to the ambience. The classes are a joy and I cannot wait to return, well worth the ten hour drive from Scotland. Thank you again."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Hi Jean, Your progress is simply stunning - I'm so pleased you could join us again here (and you brought lovely weather with you!) Keep up the painting! Jill"

Vicky King reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - HALF DAY

"What a fantastic four days of painting in Jill's beautiful studio. She made us feel so welcome and relaxed. I was amazed at what I was able to achieve in that time and my family have been most impressed with my 2 paintings. Jill encourages one with such positivity and I learnt so much in the 4 days. It was full of fun, laughter and music. The lunches that come with the whole day courses are a real homemade treat even the bread rolls which are made by her lovely husband. Jill goes out of her way to make sure you are welcomed and happy. I loved every minute of it and I will definitely be returning. Thank you Jill"

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Hello Vicky, Many thanks for your lovely review; it was superb to see you create that large seascape! So very inspiring! I do hope we can paint together in the future at some point. Keep up the great works! Jill"

Kirsty reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - HALF DAY

"What a lovely day! I took my mum as a mother’s day gift and it was the perfect way to spend mother’s day together. She absolutely loved it (not something she has done before) she was blown away by what we managed to achieve in just 2 hours and has already ordered frames to mount it up at home! Thank you to Jill who provided us with a wonderful time at her beautiful gallery. I have never felt so relaxed! Would recommend to all. Thank you"

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Thank you Kirsty, it was great to meet you both - and such a fab painting that you did, especially your impressive drawing skills on those hills! It was a truly lovely day at the studio ! Keep on painting! Jill"

Gregg Robinson reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - FULL DAY

"I had a one to one full day course with Jill. I wanted to improve my seascapes. I had already seen some of Jill's seascapes and liked her style hence wanting her expert tuition. I had a fantastic day and learnt some techniques that I have never used before. I would thoroughly recommend an art course with Jill."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Thank you Gregg, You did fabulously well! Jill"

Gordon reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - FULL DAY

"Having already been on one of Jills art courses and since produced some paintings of my own, I decided to have a‘refresher’. Yet again Jill has the knack of teaching art in an informative laid back manner. Demonstrating various types of brush strokes and other techniques. Again if you are a beginner or need to improve, look no further........"

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Hi Gordon, It's great to see what fabulous progress you're making between art courses, your colour palette is superb! Jill"

Heather Phippen reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - FULL DAY

"I am a local girl and was hoping along with 4 other friends to attend one of Jill's courses but Covid struck but I did eventually spend a great day myself with Jill last November. It was a pleasure to paint alongside her, I have painted on and off for a few years but it was refreshing to use different brushes and techniques. Lunch was lovely (don't forget to let me have your soup recipe) and good company. Thank you Jill for a great day, you will see me again and you have got me interested in painting again. I would say to anyone who has painted or not painted in their life to visit Jill, see her studio and share her talent. Heather x"

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Thanks Heather, It was a delight, thank you - and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece! Jill"
