I started with watercolors 20 years ago and I enjoyed it. Then I happened to catch a Bob Ross video and I painted off and on in oils for the next 15 or so years. When I took a look around my home and saw oil paintings drying everywhere, I knew I had to make a change. I searched acrylics and found “The Art Sherpa” about a year and a half ago. Her perky personality and easy to paint tutorials satisfied me for a few months but I knew I wanted to hone my skills with more difficult lessons. Ginger Cook entered my life 14 months ago. I joined her Online Art Academy in December 2017 and it is the greatest gift that I could have given myself.

In her personal art coaching (PAC), Ginger tells you honestly where you are on your art journey if you are trying to paint something that is over your head or just gives you a few pointers that can make all the difference in your painting. I still have a long way to go, but with Ginger by my side, it will be a great road to travel.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate my art coach. I am thankful that she is not someone who will let me make mistakes and not point it out. I am thankful that she is honest and wants me to succeed. Not many art teachers at this price point out there actually care if you succeed in your journey. I also appreciate that she doesn't compare you to a top-notch artist in the group. Allows us to grow on our own giving us the little nudges in direction. The personal time given to me via e-mail or a live PAC is priceless! I will always value the personal attention given to me.

Thank you for caring and helping me to grow as a painter!
