WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“What will stand out the most in my memory is how eager she was to share all her skillful knowledge, her tools, knacks & tricks acquired over many years of practice. I had never attended a workshop before where the instructor was so candidly transparent. All in all, because she is so smart and generous, it was one of the most effective workshops I have ever attended.”
- Katia, Amanda Lovett Workshop
“Amanda Lovett is absolutely a spectacular instructor and artist, and the combination of those two forms of excellence is rare anywhere, especially in art. She is grounded in technique and is a very articulate communicator of the classical values found in her technique.”
- Alice
"What a fantastic two days with an incredible group of hard working, like minded spirits, chasing beauty with paint. I loved the camaraderie and feel like I've made new friends in North Carolina!! Thank you Jean and all the participants! We had a blast in that dreamy park. Sunlit azaleas, ancient oak trees, sunbathing turtles and fresh paint...sigh....I will be back Wilmington. Thank you!"
-Todd Bonita
"The workshop was really well organized... The number of students was good, not too crowded; the large monitor was nice to have, and the back kitchen area was great. I was very grateful for your generosity in taking me out to dinner and for the amazing stay at your beach house. For me, everything was perfect! You’re a great painter and a great organizer! I hope to return again at some point.
-David Skinner
“When I learned in February that Amanda would be teaching this course here, I signed up immediately & came down from Syracuse, NY, to participate. I've been following Amanda's painting career for quite some time.”

Thank you, Jean, for everything. Your environment and support were loving and professional. Julie was a very good teacher and very direct clear communicator! I loved it."
-Alice C.
I was so happy to be part of this workshop and Julie Schumer was a great instructor. She not only gave me information about mark making, color and flow, but was very encouraging to get out of my comfort zone. I’m still working on that!
