“Wonderful class Jeanne. Who would have thought that doing clouds and waves could be so demanding. Enjoyed every minute of the class.” Debbie 2024

“Clouds and Sea Workshop. How wonderful! Clearly explained, well timed, such a positive approach. Thank you Jeanne.” Angie 2024

“I just wanted to say thank you for a lovely weekend.  It was great and well worth the drive up to Toowoomba from Brisbane. You have such a lovely teaching style, always are calm and encouraging and just a sweet person.  It’s so nice to be with others too, who share the pastels bug.” Debbie 2023

“Thank-you for this mornings lesson – it was exactly what I’d hoped it would be – a notch up on your excellent Introduction to Pastels. I really appreciate  your calm and encouraging teaching style ( and your obvious love of soft pastels!) and the way you talk us through using them in a solid  framework of necessary art techniques. Your classes are what I have been looking for and had not found in any of the promotional  workshop or subscription sites online. I look forward to more!” Regards  Victoria 2023

“Jeanne is a great teacher who explains everything so clearly and she will clarify anything that anyone is unclear about. She is able to make her students relax about their work and not worry about being judged. I really enjoy my classes with Jeanne” 2023


‘I had the good fortune of watching Jeanne paint a colourful Rooster during a recent online class. What a treat. Her style is relaxed and playful, yet she manages to explain each step along the way in a confident and skilled manner. I’ve watched any number of online classes during this crazy pandemic: Jeanne Cotter is definitely in my top ten. Hope she does more!!”

“Thank you for a really great day yesterday – it was great to leave the jobs behind and just make time to focus. As always you guided us with such good insight. It is fun to do art with others. Once again, many thanks for a great day and loved seeing your new home in Toowoomba”. Alice 2021


Lyn said “A HUGE shout out to Jeanne Cotter – I’ve just had the pleasure over the last six weeks of taking Jeanne’s beginner pastel course. This last week we had to do online thanks to the lockdown. I can’t tell you how professional she is and brilliant in imparting her wealth of knowledge. If you get a chance to do one of her courses – do it!” 2021


“Attending Jeanne’s Delicious Art classes is an oasis of joy for me. I love the low pressure, welcoming space and time to get dirty with colours and textures and techniques. As an absolute beginner I am learning and loving it.” Selena, 2020


“Thanks Jeanne. I really love the online video class so much because I can take my time with no time constraints. Also, I  walk away for a bit every now and again which helps me to give more input into the drawing with your comprehensive directions.” Mariam, 2020

“I feel happy knowing that if my roster clashes with your classes, I have the recorded lessons. I am addicted to pastels – thanks for making art achievable.” Nicole, 2020

“Jeanne, you’re an amazing teacher. Every time I look at my artwork, I can see the flaws but I’m still absolutely amazed that you’ve guided (taught) me to achieve something that I never in my wildest dreams thought I could. Teaching is fairly thankless because you’re taking people on huge learning curves, the results of which may never be known to you. I’m actually really happy with every picture I’ve produced, which is huge for a perfectionist. Please don’t ever doubt yourself. And thank you.” Wendy, 2020

“This is an amazing online opportunity as I just found it hard to get to your face to face classes being right over the other side of town. You are so talented and I love having a chance to learn from you.” Cheers Cathy, 2020

Lynne said: “Thank you Jeanne for a delicious weekend. It was so great to be able to leave the world behind and have the time and courage to do something just for me. Women do not allow themselves time to simply ‘play’… we all lead busy lives but to feel completely satisfied we need space to follow our dreams without fear of failure. Jeanne is an incredibly gentle and giving teacher… so encouraging and so talented. I’ll be back!” 2018

“I have LOVED my six weeks of classes so far and have just signed up for another six weeks, I was really apprehensive to begin with but as soon as I met jeanie I was put at ease, the classes are perfectly structured with a perfect blend of friendly chat and lesson, I have learnt so much since joining and look forward to each Friday to see what it holds… Thank you.” Geri 2017


Cath said: “Jeanne’s art classes are an oasis in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you’ve ever considered trying an art class, don’t wait another day, give it a try and fall under the spell of delicious pastels and Jeanne’s excellent tutorage.” 2017


“Fantastic weekend Jeanne great teaching and support to get our pastel paintings right, not so easy, but with a lot of instruction from Jeanne we did it, Thanks heaps for your help. Join a class with Delicious Art you will be glad you did, I know I am”. Christine Dunning 2018

“Had an amazing time today at Jeanne’s pastel art class. Even though I have done art before i really enjoyed using a different medium and playing with the different colours. Well done!! Would highly recommend this…and to top it off was such an amazing location!!” Cheryl Middleton 2016


“Fantastic day on the deck. So surprised with what I was able to achieve. Lovely to take home a piece of art to be proud of” Kathy 2016


Amy said: “I had my reservations about doing an art class because I can’t draw a stick figure to save my life! But I knew it would be fun and I would learn something because Jeanne’s love of art is infectious. What I didn’t know is I would take a pastel home with me that I could frame! So just do it and let Jeanne bring out your creative side!!” 2016


“Jeanne has a wonderful way of teaching that makes things just come together, and the group is very social and fun too!” Lisa 2016


“Dear Jeanne Thank you for your art classes. I am a super busy mum with 2 businesses and your Friday afternoon classes are my therapy and my escape. You are a great teacher and I have learnt so much from your classes but your main gift to me has been the opportunity to enjoy and explore my creativity in a safe, comfortable and uplifting environment.”  Much Love Shalini 2016


“Great day and fantastic to learn tips from a great teacher. Keen to come back and learn more!” Vicki 2016
