To anyone who is considering joining up with Ginger, Jon, and the moderators, Yes do it! I am literally floating so in love with painting thanks to Ginger, and her daughter The Art Sherpa on YouTube. I found them on YouTube, then after around maybe 35 or so paintings, I started believing in myself as a painter and before long I am painting almost every day to a tutorial on here or YouTube. I try to do only ceramic art at the studio, so this way I do both. I paint at home so that I am not in too much pain and can paint for a longer period of time. I feel like the most blessed person in the world being part of such a wonderful art school and community. Love you guys and I can't thank you enough.

I have recently returned to Ginger’s Academy after an unfortunate, but brief, painting hiatus. I’m proud to be a member, once again, of Ginger’s “Merry Band of Artists!” I originally became a member of the Academy in 2016 when I began painting in my late 40s. I began watching Ginger & Jon on YouTube, where I quickly discovered I wanted more of Ginger’s knowledge & instruction (as well as more stories!). Being an Academy student, not only do I get high-quality tutoring from one of the best artists around today, I get individualized, one-on-one attention with an honest, refreshing approach, and a great sense of humor to boot! Thank you, Ginger & Jon, for giving me the confidence to believe in myself, and help me grow as an artist. Your academy has been an invaluable tool in my art journey. Art Hugs!
