"Awesome! The atmosphere of camaraderie and friendly encouragement is set by JD. What a nice guy. Plus, he knows stuff and shares whatever he knows. It's fun and informative. I want to attend more!
Joyce, Austin TX "I had the most helpful, fun, learning experience I have ever had in my life. I have learned sooo much it's unbelievable. I loved this workshop!" Zeinab, TX "What I found most helpful was the individual critique of my artwork. I knew it was lacking, but didn't know what to do to make my drawings look more dimensional. I now have the knowledge and tools to make my work so much better. The class was a fantastic experience for me and it is just what I needed to take my drawing to the next level. I learned so much and your ability to joke with the class made it that much more fun. I will be returning to take more classes. It was well worth the price!" Cathy, South Jordan, UT |
"I discovered J.D. Hillberry’s book in the library of the University where I teach in Brazil, and realized that I needed to see his work and classes with my own eyes. The workshop exceeded all my expectations. It was simply overwhelming… place, organization, materials, techniques, friendliness, and the incredible ability of J.D. to transmit knowledge and experience to his students. I learned a lot and intend to come back soon. Above all, I realized that it possible to be a brilliant artist and an amazing person at the same time - as JD Hillberry is!”
Ana C– Architecture Professor and Artist - Brazil "This workshop is a good opportunity for any average drawer to become advanced!" L. M., Anacortes, WA I have been playing with graphite for 30 years but my drawings looked washed out. I have taken four classes from JD and my drawings have improved 1000%. I have learned so much about blending, contrast and realism. I learn something new with every class I take. I always walk in feeling intimidated and walk out with an amazing drawing. JD is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend his classes for artists of all levels. Sandy, Phoenix, AZ |
"The supplies were really great. I like the room set-up. No matter where you are in the room, you can see the demonstrations."
H. L., Spring TX "My recent works showing my newly learned skills are proof of what knowledge can do! The amount learned in three days is worth years of art school. The class was fabulous. It was much more than I expected. A very relaxed atmosphere and very supportive teaching. Thank you for a wonderful experience." W. G., Riverside, IL "I appreciated your generosity. It's impressive that you would share your techniques so openly and completely. Learning your techniques took some of the mystery/intimidation out of certain aspects of drawing. It's really great to feel capable of drawing a portrait to my satisfaction. Lisa M., Houston, TX "This was my second workshop with JD and I'm looking forward to my third one. for any one who wants to take their abilities to a new level, these workshops are a must." K. D., Methuen, MA |
