"Caroline's workshop was wonderful. We had a fabulous time. Caroline is a great teacher and she had a lot to teach us about the use of color... pure beautiful color and how it works to liven up your paintings. I learned a lot about bold color which I always kept away from. It will be a great tool in my work." |
| "I am so happy with all of the new things I learned from you. What a wonderful teacher you are!!! I have little red 6"x9" pieces of canvas paper all around my studio waiting for me to paint lots of new studies. Now I just have to get busy. Thank you so much for coming here. We will be looking forward to your next workshop." Bonnie Sturgis, Beach Art Group, Panama City Beach, FL 2013 |
"It was great fun and I have been homeworking all afternoon. I am prepping canvases tonight and painting tomorrow. You have inspired me to learn, learn, and learn more. Another workshop one day is in the cards!" |
| "I enjoyed your class on water. Thanks for the tips on improving my painting!" Deborah Joynes, Art of the Carolinas, 2012 |
| "I learned a lot from you Caroline. I have not done a lot of painting with oils and it is different in your approach --as I found out." Sondra Lucas, Art of the Carolinas, 2012 |
| "Thank you for the red canvas workshop. I worked on it Saturday evening and have it finished! Great learning experience! I am going to remember your dates for the Vermont workshop,and try to join you again then. It would be a wonderful week in VT!" Karen Wiley-Eberle, Art of the Carolinas, 2012 |
| "I enjoyed your class so much! You introduced me to new techniques that I would not have thought of. You have a way of instilling confidence in your students regardless of their experience level. I loved the freshness of your approach to painting especially starting on vivid ground colors. I am excited about painting my first canvas starting on a red ground!" Annie Suess, Art of the Carolinas, 2012 |
| The lecture material, along with your book POWERCOLOR, have re ignited my heartfelt supplication for the arts. Your class was my first after 35 yrs of heartache (no brush, no paint, nothing-too busy with business & work). NOW, to learn and grow at the re-entry level, sparked that passion and desire to learn more, read more, visit art shows and study the masters. Thank you for the kick in the pants in your own sensitive and truthful way. It was an honor and privilege to sit in the classroom with one of the masters. May God provide the increase and peace in your life that allows you to be real. And you my dear friend are the real deal!" David Greenfield, Art of the Carolinas, 2012 |
| "I am a watercolor painter who participated in your Tuesday Drawing class. It was just terrific. It both introduced some very helpful new ideas and was a great review of other concepts that I had forgotten. Three hours well spent! You are an excellent communicator." Karen Bruett, Vermont Art Event, Burlington, VT, July 2012 |
| "What a delightful week. You have taught so much and I have absorbed until my head is on overload. I can't wait to apply more vibrancy to my work. Thank you. Thank you!" Sally Eaves, Cloudcroft Art Workshops, 2012 |
| "Thank you for a great workshop. The week was a real pleasure! I appreciated your organization, presentations, and all your individual help... a good week for me." Janis Loverin, Cloudcroft Art Workshops, 2012 |
| "Thanks so much for a great workshop! Can't tell you how much I enjoyed it and how much I needed it! I learned so much as well as getting a lot of refreshers! I've had a wonderful time - learning and creating." Debra Curry, Cloudcroft Art Workshops, 2012 |
| "Wow! Have I ever learned a lot about color. Thank you". Carolyn Walker, Cloudcroft Art Workshops, 2012 |
| "Great workshop. You are such a great teacher. Maybe even I will take up oils." Carolyn Sharp, Cloudcroft Art Workshops, 2012 |
| "I so enjoyed it. Thank you." Madlyn Yantis, Cloudcroft Art Workshops, 2012 |
"I was in your 'Drawing for Painters' class and felt very well taught. It was helpful to me to just feel like one of your high school students. Thank your for being such an excellent teacher. As a student, it's confidence building to feel your dynamic professionalism." |
"Thanks for all your good teaching and great motivating spirit. I had a wonderful time in your classes at the Vermont Art Event. You are such a breath of fresh air! I've been in a bit of a funk with my painting, but I'm ready to approach my work with some fresh insights and techniques as a result of your "Painting Water" class. I also ate up your demonstrations and critiques. Thanks too for all your positive energy and excellent organization as a teacher. Your classes are full of information and inspiration. I hope to be a part of more workshops in the future." |
"I loved the classes and learned much and look forward to applying your technique." |
| "Thanks for the great class! I hope to take more workshops with you. Love your work!" Annette Bauerie, Vermont Art Event, Burlington, VT, July 2012 |
"I love your classes. You organize them really well and give a lot of important information. Thanks for the great classes. I'll check your website and newsletter to see where you are going this year." |
| "Thanks again for sharing your insight and talent. You remain the primary influence in my painting. It takes time for your simple concepts to sink in and make an impact on new artists paintings. For example it took me two years to learn to let the red shine through instead of wanting to cover it up. I think that 5 day workshops allow more time for info to settle in and for you to interact with artists and provide feedback. Your time with painters is quite important; what you demonstrate or point out is excellent." Tony Radcliffe, Venus Studios Art Space, Palm Desert, CA, Mar. .2012 |
| "Your workshops are full of applicable information, an amazing amount of individualized attention and pure joy! During the workshops, you are first and foremost an intuitive, giving teacher who knows when to instruct and when to let a fledgling artist find her own way. Color theory is introduced, explored in detail and immediately put into practice. Thank you for taking me on an exciting journey. I look forward to 'traveling' with you again!" Sherry Pound West, Venus Studios Art Space, Palm Desert, CA, Mar. .2012 |
| "I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your workshop last Friday in Palm Desert. I went home confused, as shown in my Joshua tree, but then I watched your DVD and woke up in the middle of the night and it was my EUREKA moment. I got it. It may take a while to actually do it, but I understand now. My new mantra is EACH STROKE COUNTS, no matter how small. Sometimes old (bad) habits are hard to break. See you next time." Marilyn Medley, Venus Studios Art Space, Palm Desert, CA, Mar. 2012 |
| "I thoroughly enjoyed the day... I am a new painter and was concerned that the workshop would be too advanced for me. I have never put a ground on a canvas before painting. I'm going to practice using that method and see where it takes me. Thank you for a most wonderful experience." Gayle Rosenbaum, Venus Studios Art Space, Palm Desert, CA, Mar. 2012 |
| "Thank you for the great workshop we had. It was so informative and certainly took me to another level. I really enjoyed it. Will be watching out for the next workshop." Sandy Bogert, Ringling College of Art & Design, Sarasota, FL, Mar. 2012 |
| "Had a great day. Read your book - it really had a lot of basic information that I needed. Very good." Arthur Marlin, Ringling College of Art & Design, Sarasota, FL, Mar. 2012 |
| "Thank you so much for sharing the wisdom and talent so freely! Your presentation and prep for our workshop was outstanding!" Krista McCampbell, Ringling College of Art & Design, Sarasota, FL, Feb. 2012 |
| "I really enjoyed the workshop. I like the process you use to explain the concepts and the steps you recommend, with the emphasis on visual aids (Duh! Too often ignored by instructors, I find). You invested a lot of your own energy in both the instruction portion and in the coaching portion. and that transferred itself to all of us, I think. And while I found the unfamiliar process difficult to wrap my mind around at first, your frequent 'pit stops' at my easel were really helpful. I hope to take more of your workshops and look forward to meeting up with you again." Anne Conway, Ringling College of Art & Design, Sarasota, FL, Feb. 2012 |
| "Just wanted to thank you for a great workshop. You're a great teacher; you really kept the class moving. Some of the paintings were fabulous and I'm going to try some different colored gessoes. That girl across the aisle from me who used the purple had great results. That was a bold move and it really paid off! And thank you so much for the tip about putting the oil paint in the freezer." Marla Laubisch [www.marlalaubisch.com], Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC, Oct .2011 |
| "Because of what I learned from Caroline Jasper... I was finishing a painting and my 7 year old daughter walks in and she looks at my painting. I showed her my reference picture and asked 'Does this look like the picture?''. She said, 'No Daddy your painting looks better because it has prettier colors.'" Preston Sandlin, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC Oct. 2010, 2011; Cheap Joe's, Boone NC, June, 2011 |
| "I just want to say how much I enjoyed your workshop. My family loved the style and it helped me to really push away from what I normally do." Debbie Coble, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC, Oct .2011 |
| "I really really enjoyed the class. You're a talented and fun teacher, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again." Beti Strobeck, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC Oct .2011 |
| "Thank you! I had a wonderful time at Art of the Carolinas. It was my first time at the event and will not be my last! I took 6 workshops - wanted to get as much exposure as I could to different techniques. Your workshop showed me the benefit of value studies, something I haven't been doing. Also, the many tips you gave us are greatly appreciated. Your technique is beautiful. You reinforced that strong lights and darks are extremely important for a successful painting. There is so much to remember which will come with practice. If I had had time for them, I would have probably taken more of your workshops. Thank you again for making my time at Art of the Carolinas a rewarding experience!" Norma Swan, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC, Oct .2011 |
| "I took several workshops with other artists while I was there and they were good, but yours was great!! I really learned a lot about the value in a picture that will carry me forward in how I look at things in the future. This was my first time in Raleigh, but will definitely not be the last, and I will be planning on attending more than one of your classes. I'm also going to keep my eyes open for any other opportunities that I may get to be involved in other workshops throughout the year. Again, thank you for bringing your knowledge to a place where others can learn and advance themselves..!!" Vicky Kresinske, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC Oct .2011 |
| "Thank you, thank you! Learned a lot, and enjoyed meeting you." Linda Lavigne, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC, Oct .2011 |
| "I really enjoyed your workshops and will be incorporating many of the things I learned in my work. Like I told you I have only been painting since February and have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge about color and painting techniques. My only complaint was that I would rather have had entire day sessions on Commanding Color and Landscape Logistics. They were too short for me...just gave me a taste and I was ready for a feast, which I know you can provide. I will be watching for future workshops." Ron Pedonti, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC, Oct .2011 |
| "I loved your workshop, and heard such wonderful feedback on other workshops you taught. Quite aside from the great color information you impart in your workshop, universally everyone was impressed by the way your classes are organized. It makes workshop attendees very happy to be able to get right down to the information they have paid for rather than to fuss around with incidentals. It is like getting so much more for your money." Barbara Parker, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC Oct .2011 |
| "This has been the most enjoyable painting workshop I have ever attended. I learned exactly what I had hoped to - what I felt Caroline Jasper represented in her class description." Jennifer C. Fenner, Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC Oct .2011 |
| "It was a really great experience to be in your two day workshop. I hope you will come back to the desert soon! You are an excellent art instructor. I so much want to get back to my oil painting with your style in mind." Linda Godbold, Venus Studios Art Supply, Palm Desert, Oct. 2011 |
| "Thank you Caroline. You are a fantastic teacher and person. I hope to have the pleasure of taking another workshop from you in the future." Lisa Gray-Shellberg, Professor Emerita of Psychology, California State University, Dominquez Hills - Learning Product Expo: Art, Oct. 201 |
| "I really enjoyed your classes at the Pasadena Art Expo!" Doris Bertch - Learning Product Expo: Art, Oct. 2011 |
| "I enjoyed and learned so much in your workshop. I will try to use this new information. I just wish I had taken more from you. Hope to see you again in town." Zoong Nguyen - Learning Product Expo: Art, Oct. 2011 |
| "I've never before taken a workshop where I've learned a new way of painting and actually turned out a frameable piece." Sharon Menary - Learning Product Expo: Art, Oct. 2011 |
| "I so enjoyed taking your workshop yesterday. Thanks so much. You're a wonderful teacher." Lauren Tom -Learning Product Expo: Art, Oct. 2011 |
| "I am painting now more regularly. You had me do that 5 minute painting and it revolutionized me! I was doing super detailed portraits... and now I paint on stage during worship and church services. I do not have a lot of time to paint, so I just go for it like in your class. I am a seer in the spirit and paint what God shows me or what I feel He is leading me to paint." Chrisie Council, Oct. 2011 (attended Art of the Carolinas 2009) www.christinecouncil.com |
| "The secret to wet on wet is to know where your colors have to go - it's the paint-by-numbers I so love and learned to understand from Caroline Jasper. See the colors; know where they have to go; put them on the canvas and stop there! Thanks Caroline. It was you who gave me all the tools I needed to start painting, not the least of which was the role of color value in a painting, which for me was an invaluable insight. Your workshop was insightful and inspiring. See. Look what you made me do." Jane Clatsworthy - attended the East End Art Guild, Puerto Rico, Feb. 2011 workshop. |
| "I really enjoyed the classes I had the fortune to take with you." Gerri Bloomberg - Vermont Art Event, July 2011 |
| "It was wonderful and I truly enjoyed your one-stroke approach. I was totally surprised how fast I painted." Sandra Karakoosh - Vermont Art Event, July 2011 |
|
Preston Sandlin www.HomeInspectionCarolina.com - Cheap Joe's, June 2011 |
"Your Powercolor Painting workshop last week was the BEST I have ever taken. To teach art, it is not enough to be a good artist. Having taken a couple of workshops from artists whom I admired as artists and thought I would learn from, I know from whence I speak. Being a good (or great) teacher is the real key. And you, my dear, are a great teacher. Your education background made a huge difference in the quality of the workshop: |
| "I very much enjoyed your workshop. You are an exceptional teacher! This was the best workshop I have ever attended. I enjoyed meeting my fellow artists and feel that everyone else felt the same. You have a wonderful way of making everyone feel like we have created something special." Jane Vieth - Cheap Joe's, June 2011 |
| "I truly enjoyed meeting you and taking your class. I learned a great deal from you as you are an excellent teacher." Anne Torda - Dillman's Creative Arts Foundation, May 2011 |
| "Back home again and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and learn more about color. Lots to think about. I loved all the visuals you used to teach us. I hope I get to work with you again someday. Thanks." Vivian Dunbar - Dillman's Creative Arts Foundation, May, 2011 |
| "I enjoyed your class so much. Your directness and ability to key into people is great! And your work is wonderful. I can't wait to have the time to finish paintings I worked on. It was a pleasure to spend a week with you." Denise Susalka, Puerto Rico, Feb. 2011 |
| "Again thank you so much. You taught me a new way of viewing things for a painting. Now I'm starting to see things as a puzzle." Awilda Maldonado - East End Art Guild, Puerto Rico, Feb. 2011 |
| "We had a wonderful time and absorbed so much. Thanks again!" Diane Cutter - Workshop Coordinator, East End Art Guild, Puerto Rico, Feb. 2011 |
| "Great class (after years of being too scared to pick up a paintbrush). I loved your approach to painting!! especially with "breaking all the rules" foundation. Thank you for explaining depth in painting so simply and clearly!!... definitely worth the price of admission. I really got it. The painting aside, that depth lesson will be with me forever. Thanks." Marc Gill www.marcgill.com- Ringling College of Art & Design, Spring, 2011 |
| "It was a pleasure taking the painting class. Your painting style is unique, if I may say so, quite unorthodox but not in a bad way". Neil Crenshaw - Ringling College of Art & Design, Fall, 2010 |
| "Caroline is a wonderful artist and teacher." Mary Shiros - Art of the Carolinas, NC, Nov. 2010 |
| "You are awesome. I really enjoyed your class. It really helped me to get focused. You helped me learn about myself and what I enjoy painting. I can't wait to attend another one of your classes. You are REALLY COOL!!!" Michelle Meekins - Art of the Carolinas, NC, Nov. 2010 |
| "I really enjoyed your class, I bought the book and look forward to working with the DVD." Rob Freet - Art of the Carolinas, NC, Nov. 2010 |
| "Thank you for the interesting day's painting instruction. I fear I have a lot to learn still and your comments are appreciated." Rosialind Tomlinson - Ringling College of Art & Design, Fall, 2010 |
| "Thank you for an absolutely amazing experience! You are awesome to paint with and you are an amazing teacher. Both classes I took were the best. I thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I paint wine bottles and glasses all the time but you opened a new part of my brain! I enjoyed everything, your wonderful dry humor, how you kept us on schedule...it was easy to grasp what you were teaching. I did not want the classes to end. I feel so free to paint. It was great fun and an honor to take your classes. Thank you again." Cherie Saxton - Learning & Product Expo: Art, CA, Oct 2010 |
| "Thanks for another great year of painting. We are so excited to meet and paint for days, and learn something new. Thanks for the updates you send. I love your new artwork." Barbara Owen - Learning & Product Expo: Art, CA, Oct 2010 |
| "I had so much fun in your class and came home and painted my two scenes over again, on larger canvas. I'm not finished, but just reading your books and re-doing the paintings has been such a great exercise. I work full time, and can't wait 'till Monday (my day off) to get back in my art room and work on them some more. I'm also going to be on the lookout for any other classes you might do in California, because I will be there! So appreciate your great teaching and help!" Viv Stone - Learning & Product Expo: Art, CA, Oct 2010 |
"It was a pleasure being able to take another series of classes from you at the expo. Using your teaching I have gone from being strictly an abstract painter using acrylics to being able to create a painting from a picture using oils. That is a distance of at least 500 miles in learning. You are a great teacher." |
| "It was so much fun and Caroline was an awesome instructor. Drawing on her experience as a high school art teacher, she was able to deal with the unruly mid-aged women in the class." Cindy Fanning - Five day workshop, Cloudcroft Art Workshops, NM, Aug. 2010 |
"I sure enjoyed your class. It was the best workshop I have ever taken. You are a great teacher as well as a great artist. Your years of teaching experience makes a big difference and I really appreciate that you did not have the 'my way or the highway' attitude. Seems most teachers do and it makes me feel rebellious. I just finished my first landscape painting using my newly learned techniques. Thanks again and it was a pleasure meeting you." |
"After painting for 30 years, I am beginning to see the importance of light. Why did it take so long? I think I always looked for 'pretty' rather than the dynamic play of light. And now, because of your teachings and paintings, I can see both and improve my work." |
"I thoroughly enjoyed the week. You shared your knowledge so generously. I learned so much. I learned not only about colors but so much about value that I had never thought before. I can photograph my palette and see which colors have the darkest values. That is awesome. How you showed us to make the background recede was cool too. You are an awesome artist and teacher." |
| "Thank you for presenting at the SFA Art Educators' Retreat. I loved getting back into oil painting after almost 40 years. I brought home three paintings that I am so proud of! I learned so much about color and value and contrast that makes so much sense, and that I had not heard explained the way you did. I have already read a lot in the 'Powercolor' book and am glad I have time this summer to really read and think about it and paint some more. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and techniques with us. I hope to see and hear you again in the future." Suzi Ickles - Four day Art Educators' Retreat, Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches, TX, June 2010 |
| "I had such a fantastic time at the retreat with you. I appreciate your instruction, insight and thoughts about art." Jason Allen Hose - Four day Art Educators' Retreat, Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches, TX, June 2010 |
"I am one of the ones without much painting experience (one class almost 30 years ago). I enjoyed or teaching so much... love using red gesso and leaving bits showing. One of my art friends and I discussed your techniques, including how you photograph in B&W to make sure the value study is pleasing, and the exercise of placing colors in order by value, etc. I tried to think about it the entire time I painted. It makes me want to paint about four times more quickly so I can get the hang of it before I lose what you talked about. I look forward to having time to read the color book. Thank you." |
| "I always think it is interesting how an experience like the art retreat moves one forward. I've been painting every day. The 'Powercolor' book is a great reference. I must tell you that the most amazing lesson I learned was to 'see the light'. I set up an all white still life... I see the light. Even though the process of maintaining light in watercolors is different from oils, I still can use all the color ideas you taught us about recording the world." Paula Hand - Four day Art Educators' Retreat, Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches, TX, June 2010 |
| "The whole group was really wowed by your approach. You do create a lot of success. Great artist; great teacher." Gay Sacharoff - Five day workshop, Purple Isles Art Guild, Key Largo, FL, March 2010 |
"Thank you for all the good vibes. I enjoyed your enthusiasm and your paintings knock me out!!" |
| "The awareness of color you opened for me is really sticking. It's affecting everything, not only painting., but other color choices in daily life. What a delight to discover a fundamental new understanding at this stage of life." Barbara Garlock - Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC, Nov. 2009 |
| "Your workshops in color, contrasts, and loosening up a bit to make the pictures more impressionistic have really helped my work. I look forward to working with you again." Debra Bailey - Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC, Nov. 2009 |
| "Working with Caroline is a powerful, bright, colorful experience. I always learn something new that takes my painting to the next level." Ralph White - Learning & Product Expo: Art Pasadena, CA Oct. 2009 |

| "Chinese saying...'When the student is ready the teacher will appear'. Your teaching is a revelation and an unforgettable experience." Eva Kon - Five day workshop, Cheap Joe's, September 2009 |
| "You measure teaching success by student outcomes and must be very proud of your efforts. It was a terrific week! Lots of content, lots of challenge. The atmosphere of the group was a real credit to your teaching skills." Earl Olson - Five day workshop, Cheap Joe's, September 2009 |
"I really enjoyed the classes I took with you. Thank you for making my first workshops so enjoyable." |

"I enjoyed listening to you teach and watching you paint. I have always been a little slow to learn something unfamiliar, but this is the reason I took you class. I know I am a better painter because of your instruction." |

"I really enjoyed your workshops. I felt an instant kinship with you upon hearing your feelings about color! You inspired me to look at things a little differently. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I have already used your advice on other paintings. Your DVD is also very good... your talent and charisma shine through. I hope to connect with you in the future at your workshops." |
| "I enjoyed your class Friday evening. Although I have not done oils since 1969, I found it delightful to try my hand at it. The value study with gray paper and white charcoal pencil simplified it for me. I am a 67 year old student and hope to truly improve my art. Thank you for your skillful teaching style and devotion to each student succeeding in your class. I hope to have the opportunity to once again study with you. Until then may many students have the opportunity to enrich their experience by attending your class." Jane Erwin - Learning & Product Expo: Art, CA Oct. 2006 |

| "I certainly enjoyed your class last Sunday and learned a great deal in a short 3 hours time. You have a beautiful style. I don;t believe I will ever see color the same way again after that class. Thanks for introducing me to some of the dynamics of color values." Preston Gravely - Art of the Carolinas, Raleigh, NC, Nov. 2005 |
||

| "I want to tell you I had a great time in your class last week. You are an exceptional fine artist as well as a very good instructor.

Anthony Rogone - Learning & Product Expo: Art, CA Oct. 2005 |
