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!

Ginger had me focus on the basics of color so I didn’t feel overwhelmed while learning to paint. There’s so many aspects of the painting process that it was fun instead of frustrating.
