Teaching
She currently teaches her subject to different art societies and holds regular classes from her Garden Studio in Hertfordshire, where students are surrounded by the many beautiful flowers and plants they are shown how to paint, both in watercolour and coloured pencils.
Jill’s approach is to encourage all levels of ability and she has taught students from beginners through to exhibition levels.
