TESTIMONIALS
I love taking the classes! They're informative, practical and inspiring all in one. These two lovely artist's share their knowledge without holding back. I always aspire to do more painting after finishing one of their workshops. Thank you so much for these awesome workshops. KG
This was my first time joining Painting with Jennifer + Gayle, and it was an absolute blast! Their teaching style and emphasis on play and staying loose, while still providing structure via specific paining prompts, was just what I needed as a beginner. Looking forward to joining future classes! LMF
Jennifer and Gayle bring years of creativity along with lots of enthusiasm to their presentations. Their cheerful encouragement and depth of skill truly a gift - whether one is a beginner or experienced. I love that they are both open to "going with the flow" and not fussy about how a painting is developing - open to painting over what may seem to be a "mistake." So happy to have taken their class!

I fully enjoyed this class. Learning from two masterful artists with different styles and perspectives was very fun. Being able to interpret what we see in a still life was very freeing. They both are generous with sharing their processes and have a clear passion for their work and sharing with those of us lucky enough to participate. AKH
The painting class with Jennifer and Gayle was so inspiring and motivating.They both are experts in their own unique painting styles, which is reflected in watching them work and simultaneously discuss what they are painting! I learned so many fun tips while painting alongside them, and enjoyed seeing people share their work, and see so many amazing styles and interpretations. Highly recommend this 2 hour ditty if you are looking for some inspiration and exploration. MG.
Gayle and Jennifer's classes are always a deeply inspiring and calming way to spend a couple of hours. With every session, watching their process helps inform my work, and listening to their charming banter always leaves me smiling. NF
