I learned from Norma to not only look, but also to "see"
—Barb Springer

I recently completed a two day workshop with Norma in acrylics and I can't say enough about how pleased I am with both the process and the results. I have painted in watercolour for many years and been involved in lots of learning in that medium, so workshops aren't new to me. But I have not been as impressed with others as both artists and teachers as I am with Norma. She has a very logical approach, is encouraging, guiding each student along in her/his own way and offering excellent help without negative criticism or overuse of demonstration. Her sense of humour and great patience with a very generous sharing of her own knowledge puts her at the top of my list as a teacher. And I look at my first work in acrylics with pride. I look forward to many more learning experiences leading me even farther into art in Norma's studio.

About Norma Jackson's teaching skills...she is really good! I took her 4 week beginners' class to learn more about acrylic and left feeling that I had learned more than I paid for. Norma has really good communication with the class and it was not a 'paint-along' so we all learned from each other's paintings as well. We painted using our own reference photos so each of us had different challenges depending on our subject matter.

I took Norma's 4 week beginners' class to explore acrylic painting and left feeling that I got much more than I paid for. I know have the confidence to approach any subject without fear! I appreciated the encouragement and guidance.

If you're looking for a recommendation, you've got mine. I plan to take her next level in the spring.

Norma's Abstract workshop was really quite a revelation to me in many ways! I loved the presentation with music and various ways of approaching this subject. Having been a teacher, I must be a very trying student. I have to go slowly and try to see every way to succeed before I start - and that was just not the way to go about Norma's Abstract painting. I learned a few interesting things about myself, an important one being that I often approach life situations exactly as I did the painting projects! The process was great fun and a learning experience I shall remember forever.
