"A terrific three days! relaxed atmosphere, yet hard work that seemed to delight everyone. Amazing demos that had me mesmerized as Paul pulled and pushed color in ways I have never seen. He and Marla make everyone feel like they are old friends gathering to have fun! Thanks you two!" - Victoria LenneKnoxville, Tennessee



"At first, the thought of taking a workshop with Paul Jackson was intimidating to me -- he is such an incredible artist and has won so many awards. But after going on his sketchbook tour of Italy, I could see how passionate he is about watercolor and how thrilled he is to ignite that passion in others -- especially new artists. He not only is incredibly encouraging, he also is effective in pointing out what you can do differently to make your painting better. I was thrilled with my results of the workshop and very motivated to paint paint paint! Paul does more than teach the technical aspects of painting, he teaches you how to really see your subject, especially the light and shadows and translate those into values. He also gave great pointers on composition and perspective. But best of all, he just made it really fun. Paul has a terrific sense of humor and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the three full days of the class. I also have to give him kudos on how well organized the class was - plenty of space for each participant and extra supplies available. I have taken several workshops and Paul's was the best by far!" - Adele Coleman Columbia, Missouri

"One can only dream of painting with a master, and we have lived our dreams. Your workshop was a true vacation from the real world. It was not only informative and inspiring, it was fun and stress free. Your use of color and light bring your subjects to life and make them sparkle, and you create magic by adding non-related subjects into your compositions. "We can't wait until our next Paul Jackson Workshop. Give your beautiful Marla a hug for us. She made us students feel like family. " - Jane and John Brown Mandeville, Louisiana



As an amateur artist but a professional in the teaching field, I cannot say enough about the quality of Paul's workshop! He is that rare professional artist who not only makes his work come alive, but knows how to generously share his techniques in ways so that others can, too. I will never be a Paul Jackson, but he certainly helped me become the best ME, I could, in three fun and informative days. -Carol from Pensacola FL,
