Jill Jones Fine Art reviews

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

"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. "

Jemma reviewed: 'Art your way' with Jill Jones - FULL 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."

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

"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"

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

"A really enjoyable spent with Jill. As an art novice I came away amazed at what I was able to achieve. It was a lovely way to spend a morning with friends and work on our very own masterpiece! Diolch 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"

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

"Jill’s course was recommended by a friend and although Pembrokeshire is a long way from where I live I was happy to go .. me for the first time ( but hopefully not last) and my friend on a return visit. Jill shared her knowledge of acrylic painting with such enthusiasm and encouragement that I surprised myself ( and family and friends) with the paintings I produced at the end of the course. Jill’s warmth and friendship ( not forgetting the great lunches of course! ) all made the 4 day course so enjoyable . I would highly recommend this course."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Hi Jan, You were amazing - that painting you did of the bay with the white/cream cottage to the right and the gold and lilac sky was just superb! You did so well in the week you were here - it would be great to see you again. Keep up the great work! Jill"

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

"Before holidaying in Pembrokeshire (again!) I spoke to a friend who lives there and, knowing that I am an 'aspiring' artist (of no great note!) she suggested I consider Jill's 'Art Your Way' painting class. So, I booked a full day and can honestly say it was one of my better decisions. I would thoroughly recommend the course which will now be a regular event for me whenever I venture to West Wales!"

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Hello Daniel, We shall certainly look forward to welcoming you back for another painting class, on your next holiday to Pembrokeshire! Jill"

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

"I attended the 'Art your way' course because I needed some impetus to get me back painting again! It worked! I had lost confidence in my (limited) ability as a painter but a day with Jill helped me tremendously. Her good humour and ability to impart her great artistic knowledge to others made the experience fun and, above all, instructive. I hope to be back to further improve my artistic efforts."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Glynne, Your abstract piece was stunning that you did in my class - you really should continue! Jill"

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

"Being an enthusiastic beginner I was looking for a course to develop my passion for painting landscape and seascapes. I searched the internet and came across Jill’s site which appealed to me, even though it meant travelling quite a distance from where I live. I was not disappointed with my choice. Jill is an enthusiastic and cheerful tutor who instilled in me so much confidence that I was immediately producing paintings that I never thought I would have been able to achieve. This would not have been possible without Jill’s expert, calming and friendly influence. Jill’s teaching is first class, you learn about adding detail through simple brush work. If I had not discovered Jill’s course it is probable that I would not be painting now and enjoying my new hobby. I will certainly be returning for another four day course in 2022."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Wow! Thanks Jean! We were delighted to have you here and we look forward to seeing you soon ! xx"

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

"This was my first experience of attending a painting class and I really enjoyed it. I have painted a little in my time but Jill's experience and great ability to impart this to others in a friendly, imformative and practical way was invaluable. I will be back!"

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Bill, you were a total star! We hope you'll come to see us again soon! Jill"

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

"I did this course in the summer of 2021 and it was so enjoyable that I later did the full day course with Jill. As a 'taster' painting class this is an excellent introduction to basic techniques. Very much recommended."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Hello Nerys, We're delighted that you painted so well and had a memorable visit! Jill"

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

"Having only ever used Watercolour as a media I was looking at trying Acrylic. On my arrival, I was made most welcome. From the start to the finish of the course I was given great tuition, learning different techniques of Acrylic painting, in an easy laidback informative manner. If anyone is interested in painting and is looking for tuition look no further."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Thanks Gordon! You mastered acrylics immediately, and your drawing skills shone through! Great work, keep it up! Jill"

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

"I attended Jill's 'Art your Way' full day course in the autumn of 2021 and was delighted with the experience. I could paint a little before the course but Jill's full-on, one-to-one attention and good humour helped me enormously to improve my painting technique. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone looking to imorove their painting skills in a friendly, opem-minded environment."

Jill Jones Fine Art responded:

"Hi Nerys, It was great to see you, and we hope you return soon! Well done on your painting achievements! Jill"
