Comments From Workshop Participants
Thank you to Jerry for a great workshop. I think it has really helped my painting. Jerry set me up to do better painting than I think I've done before. Thank you! Lara Taubner |
I enjoyed the workshop very much. Jerry is an excellent instructor. I hope that I will return to one of his workshops one of these days. Viviane Grenier |

Jerry is truly gifted both as an artist and teacher. His approach to the subjects he paints, and the knowledge he shares with his students, make his workshops a delight. To be so enthusiastic, yet patient enough to teach others, is a rare combination. Thank-you for the opportunity to participate in the workshop. Happy Barlow |
I really enjoyed the 5-day workshop at Beaverfoot Lodge in September 2009. I learned so much about the value of plein air painting. Jerry shared his wealth of knowledge with the group regarding painting the landscape. I really appreciated the individual instruction. The scenery was majestic. What a great week it was!!

Jerry's 5-day plein air workshop was amazing. I really like his personality, big smile, great sense of humour, but best of all his teaching ability. He has such a nice way of guiding you through pointers to change ugly paintings to something that makes you want to continue. Dale Wheeler |
The entire week of the outdoor painting workshop in Golden was terrific. Jerry's enthusiasm was infectious! And he did a great job encouraging everyone and dashing from easel to easel with timely tips and corrections. Rob Prince |

Jerry, I wanted to thank you for a wonderful weekend workshop - all of your words of wisdom are still fresh in my thoughts and I am seeing "value" everywhere!!! Perhaps our paths may cross again in the future, if not, please know that you have opened my eyes to a true appreciation of work in oils.....thank you. Warm regards, |
Jerry, I really enjoyed myself at your 3-day intensive workshop in BC. It was fun, had a relaxed learning atmosphere, just the right amount of structure, so much information, lots of practice, EXCELLENT instruction, and with having a small group I got more than my money's worth. Thank you, Elizabeth Egan |
