Jeanie Grant-Nelson enthralled the St Agnes Art Group with a stimulating and dynamic presentation of her ethos and style on 19 October. The whole group were engaged in work with light and shade and were energised and active throughout. We all learned a huge amount with much to use. Many were interested in the online courses that Jeannie runs. A fabulous 2 hours of fun, interest and imagination. Highly recommended.

For part threes of the full course in September 2023. Despite bad weather, Jeannie proved she’s flexible. We have had a fabulous experience, one which I had never considered a possibility for myself. Highly recommended for all.

We have been visiting Jeanni in Mawgan Porth for many years and every year we come home having learnt something new and having grown our artistic abilities. Jeanni is so knowledgeable and so patient. You can tell that she enjoys inspiring people to reveal their hidden artistic talents. Now that the winter is here we will be looking forward to online lessons with her. Roll on next summer.

I have been coming to Newquay for years for the view of the Atlantic. Nothing quite like it, the colour; I wanted to paint it but had not touched a paint brush for 40 years and didn't know where to start to do it justice. My partner treated me to a 1 to 1 with Jeannie who came to my flat bringing everything I needed to complete this including top tips on how to make the painting of the view as I saw it. Quite a skill to be able to make you think rather than copy. We used acrylics so I could lean quickly ready to use oils on glass for myself the next time. If you want to learn how to paint I can think of no one better to help. Thank you Jeannie.

Jeanni is amazing. She really makes you think about art in a different way but in so doing you also question your own approach to other things. Her patience and understanding give you confidence to realise that you can do anything. I have always said I have great artistic ideas but cannot 'do art'. Through her expertise Jeanni has shown me what I am able to achieve.

Jeanni was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a pleasure to be around. We are a family of thirteen ages ranging 14-75 and all now have a new perspective on art and the way we see the world. None of us are very arty but we have thoroughly enjoyed it!

I met with Jeanni as I wanted to buy one of her paintings )I’ve added a picture). The painting was even more beautiful than the image I’d seen on line and I fell even more in love with it! The painting had to be posted, but it was so well wrapped and protected. So now I have Mawgan Porth in my home and I’m so pleased. Jeanni is a talented artist and a lovely lady - thank you Jeanni for making me smile

Jeannie is such a passionate and motivated artist. She really helped me to re- discover my creativity and her way of teaching was really helpful and beneficial to my progression. She has reallly motivated me and been very helpful with advice and guidance. I have completed the ‘sketching’ session and am looking forward to meeting again on the beach- to learn about perspective.

Amazing couple of hours and we all shocked ourselves at what we could produce having zero painting experience at all. Jeanie made it so easy to understand that I’m now looking at everything with a new awe and awareness of colour depth and texture. We were a family (no option other than teens) and we had such a laugh. Definitely going to frame them, that’s all of us!

For someone who struggles with a stick man, I was very impressed at how Jeannie took the time to explain everything. We are a family of 5 adults between 51 - 86yrs and we all had a fantastic afternoon. Highly recommend, even if you don’t think you have an artistic bone in your body!
