Art Tuition

Pembrokeshire Artist Jill Jones runs regular art classes at her studio/gallery. These go under the name, ‘Art Your Way’ and feature careful thought and meticulous planning. As a result, participants will have an enjoyable, invigorating and educational time. Courses last a half day or a full day and feature seascapes, abstracts, Pembrokeshire places or whatever students prefer.

‘En plein air’

If preferred, courses may be ‘en plein air’. These take place either in the studio’s extensive grounds or at a local beach or other location, within 15 – 20 minutes drive. The method enables the artist to better capture the changing details of weather and light and contrasts with studio painting that might create a predetermined look. This method .is becoming more popular and recently Jill has held joint outdoor sessions with renowned New York artist, Charity Lynn Baker.
