~Dear Jill, This has been the best course I've ever taken. I wish it was not ending. Eveyones work has so improved, I loved looking at eveyones art work. So Thumbs up Jill your are a wonderful teacher.
THANK YOU Felice :)

~This has been a fantastic learning experience. Thanks so much Jill.

~I am so sorry this class is ending. I feel I know more than when I started, hoping practice will make my images look like yours.

~Hi Jill,
I want to thank you for a great class, I have learned so much! Now just have to keep at :-)

~I have really enjoyed watching the progress of my fellow students By sharing our critiques we all learn from each others. Thank you Jill for your gentle suggestions and constant encouraging. I love your artwork. I will visit here frequently to see what my friends are painting next. I just wanted to add...what a fabulous course this has been, I feel I have learnt soooooo much, worth every penny. Thanks Jill. Jackie.

~Jill, I really, really enjoyed this class. I loved reading your comments on everyone's paintings too. I learned a lot from them.

~Jill, its hard to believe the class is over! Thank you for the valuable input! Please keep me posted of future classes or training you may offer in the future. Look forward to staying in touch! Thanks... Mitch

~I'm really happy to be in this wonderful class i really enjoyed my time doing the paintings. Thank you Jill for everything and i wish for my classmates all of the best luck in their future ..

~Jill, once again I want to thank you for all your help, you have been a terrific teacher and this has been a fun, challenging and rewarding experience. To everyone in class, its been great seeing how we have all dealt with our lessons and in essence have learned from each other by collectively seeing our attempts and corrections, I wish you all plenty of time and health to continue pursuing this very addictive hobby. Happy painting!

~Jill, I just wanted to let you know how very much I enjoyed your course. I have taken your critiques and applied them to the painting with better results. So thank you for all your help and constructive pointers. I will keep checking back for other classes that may interest me. Again, thank you. Gail

~I can't say thank you to Jill enough. In last week's critique she supplied both before and after images for this one and gave me much needed help on the hair. I tried here to replicate it somewhat...not as good as Jill's, but it has spurred me to practice outside this class. By the way, she has a wonderful hair tutorial elsewhere in the forum, and other little gems. Anyway, I finally took this in to Photo shop and did some more dodging and burning, sharpened, did the color balance adjustment (I hadn't used that one before but love it) and did the duplicate layer with soft light. Oh, I also blurred the flowers a bit. I am pretty happy with this so far, except maybe take a little saturation away from the background, and then, of course Jill will have lots of input in her critique. It really helps, don't you think, to have fresh eyes and someone with Jill's experience and talents to look over our shoulders. I totally trust what she says. FINALLY, happy painting everyone. It was fun getting to know you a little in this class.

~Wow!! This has been fun. Thanks to each of you for the kind words and the helpful critiques. Each of you is amazing! Your work is great and I hope you will continue to post works in Jill's forum so that I can enjoy. Jill, this is an awesome class. I asked you in an email before I paid for the class if for someone who was just starting with Corel Painter the class would be useful. The answer you gave was tactful and you basically said that was up to me. Well, the answer is yes the class is very helpful for a "newbie". You have been great to help with questions and I look forward to staying in touch. And oh yeah, the charcoal dvd is in the future, not sure when, but I will try that as well. God Bless Everyone!!!

~Thank you so much, Jill. You have really helped me a lot and I will miss your critiques, which have made all the difference in the world, when I go out and paint on my own.

~Really enjoyed the course and hope to see everyone using the forum in the future and maybe chat again! Kind regards to everyone, Jeremy.

~Thank you to Jill for being such an encouraging teacher. I started off a bit disoriented. I have being using Painter for almost a year but have always being cloning due to some books that I initially read when I started. Never realize the beauty of blending. I also like to thank my fellow students for their kind words and encouragement. I wish everyone great success in their painting. warm wishes

~I've enjoyed seeing all of your work. Everyone has done such an amazing job. It is interesting to see how we each have a unique style and have all taken aspects of " The Jill Style" but have each made it our own. I will be looking for your names on here and on The Painter Forum and all the other places paintings show up. Can't wait to see how we all progress. Thank you Jill. I've learned so much.

~Jill this has been a wonderful class. The full res of this image is really pretty. I used the sandstone texture in photo shop that I don't believe you can see in this low res image. The mom of this little girl is thrilled! Now I must save for the charcoal cd! Thanks for everything! I hope these forums are still open for us after this class is over. I love to see what others have done. By the way I love my Charcoal CD!! Thanks Jill, for all your help! Connie

~This has been so much fun I truly hate for it to end.

~Thank you Jill so much and all our classmates. I had so much fun and learned so much. I will miss everybody. Hope to see you all on this forum with your beautiful paintings. Thanks Jill for all your help and critiques. Here's my little flower girl again. Thanks everybody. Judith

~I don't want the class to end!! :( I have really enjoyed this class, and have learned a lot! Jill, I'd like to say a big thank you, thank you!! I plan on trying to market paintings more on my website, and now I feel like I am more knowledgeable on painting, and will be able to offer my clients better work. Eventually I am hoping to steer my whole business toward paintings. Thank you again, and it's been great meeting everyone here in class. I hope we can all stay in touch in the future! Diana Dillion

~Thank you Jill for the foundation which will help me become better at painting and an artist. I may never achieve the beautiful results that you create, but it so pleasing to me to develop, struggle and expand my horizons. Thank, Debby
