Artists Have Been Waiting For Years To Attend One of Jill Carver’s Rare “Breakthrough Workshops.” After 5 Long Years of Perfecting Her Lesson Structure, She’s Finally Released Her First Ever Workshop!

 

When master artists need help, who do they seek out?

Do the top artists have all the answers?

It turns out they don’t. 

Even the most accomplished artists need help.

The one teacher they seek out when they get stuck is none other than the brilliant master teacher Jill Carver.

Jill has been secretly helping professional artists get unstuck with their painting skills. They go to her when they want a boost in their creativity and design abilities.

Her workshops are known for giving students painting breakthroughs that dramatically accelerate their learning, enabling them to create stunning paintings with newfound confidence and skill.

With 20 years of teaching experience, plus another 12 years of experience of the art world in London, Jill Carver has established herself as a master teacher.

Her classes are so in demand, her waitlist is at least a year long! In fact, some have been waiting for years to attend her workshop in person.

As she does only four workshops a year due to other commitments, many artists simply don’t have a chance to learn from Jill.

Fully aware of the demand, she wanted to make her teachings available for those who are still waiting to take a class, want a refresher, or are unable to attend in person.

That’s how this video workshop came about — and it was a mammoth project for Jill.

And for us.

It wasn’t easy to capture the content of an entire week-long workshop on video. 

We’ve never done anything like this before. Knowing Jill and her ability to quickly improve students’ artistry, we had to go all out.

We believe this video workshop to be the defining step in an artist’s journey of improvement.

After 5 long years of refining the lesson structure, this video is now ready for the public.

Introducing Jill Carver’s Long-Awaited Video Workshop:

The Painter’s Toolbox: Aligning Composition with Concept

JILL CARVER: The Painters Toolbox Volume 1: Tools Explained

This course is aimed at enabling you to paint what you want to express, and to experiment to see what's possible. As advertised, this is a course about tools, not prescriptive steps. I learned a few new things and feel excited to try them out. I was thrilled to see a method for replacing the landscape painting adage of "3-5 big value shapes", as I often struggle with that in my surroundings where you may find a big blob of mid values or fragmented smaller shapes.

Fantastic course in solid basics

I have had many classes on color and value management. Jill’s Tool Box #1 is the best visual explanation I have seen. She is organized and thorough, and the quality of the production is excellent throughout. I highly recommend this class. There are lessons I will use immediately and refer back to as well.

I also love that she gives use tools we can use to pursue our own style and goals. These are rare and precious gifts. Im so happy to have this!
