EN: HAPPY TO HELP FELLOW ARTISTS & CREATIVES

I am now offering accessible and personalized painting/art guidance on a pay-what-you-want basis

Offering support to anyone that seeks it, on a pay-what-you-want basis—whether you're just starting out, a hobbyist, a student, or someone who’s already working in the arts. Over the last decade, I’ve worked with different painting mediums and learned from amazing teachers, mentors, and fellow artists. I’d be happy to share what I’ve picked up along the way and help you grow creatively as much as I can, no matter where you are in your journey.

It’s important to me that this offering is accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation.

You are free to contribute anything from €0 to €100 per hour, based on what you feel is reasonable and manageable for you.

All monetary donations will go toward my studio rent, materials for my practice, and the time I dedicate to helping you and others. My main goal is to be of service as much as I can and foster creativity, so any contribution is appreciated.  

I offer:

• In-person sessions:  At your place or for those who may not have space to create, I also invite you to join me in my studio, where you can work on your own project alongside me, exchange ideas, and receive guidance or advice. You’re welcome to use the materials I have available to experiment. For larger projects, however, additional materials may be needed. I’m happy to assist with a shopping trip to help you find exactly what you need, you would need to cover the costs of those materials. We can explore options together to make sure you’re set up for your creative goals no matter the financial situation.

•  Online sessions: Conducted via Google Meets, with the possibility of follow-up resources like info sheets and literature as needed.  

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out via mail contact@jillwinnie.com or schedule you first session with me via calendry.
