Mr. Carl was one of my first teachers to introduce me to the fundamentals of drawing at the Art Institute. I learned a lot from him and his feedback always helped me see things from a different persepective.
His words were always encouraging and his criticisim was very constructive. I am so glad to learn from such a great artist with tons of expertise.

Carl is kind, patient and full of knowledge. He always had time to answer questions and give demonstrations. He will always hold a special place in my heart as one of my favorite college professors. On top of all that he is an AMAZING artist!

During my time at the Art Institute of Seattle (2002-2005), he was my drawing instructor and mentor. He's always very honest, insightful and inclusive to his students. With his years of experience, I've learned so much about not only about art but a better understanding of what I'm capable for myself. Now I'm a professional 3D animator in the game industry and will always carry the great memories, the work ethic, and the lessons he's taught me. Thanks Carl!

Carl Jackson is my favorite traditional drawing teacher back when I'm studying at the Art Institute. His teaching techniques and criticism really helped me in my art journey.

I had the pleasure of having Carl as my instructor in college. He has wonderful teaching style and I use many of lessons learned from him for the foundation of so many of my drawing techniques I've used for years at this point. Carl is a master teacher in my opinion and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone more capable of teaching drawing.

I had Carl as a teacher when I was in art school and he was incredible. He’s such a talented artist and a wonderful teacher. His patience, critique and knowledge helped me excel and feel more confident in my own artwork. I highly recommend him!

I knew Carl Jackson as a fellow faculty member and then as a department director. Carl is one of the best! Valued by students because of his immense drawing skills, and trusted that their talent paired with learned skill would improve under his tutelage. He has an excellent reputation among his peers as well, as a colleague and friend.

Carl is a very patient and caring teacher and tutor. When I was taking a difficult bitanical drawing class he helped me with techniques to improve my drawungs and give me confidence. He is also an amazingly talented artist.

I worked with Carl in his capacity as a full-time faculty member at an arts college, and he was one of our most trusted and best loved teachers. He is not only an accomplished artist, he excels at teaching drawing to all levels of students and was a key tutor for us in addition to his teaching responsibilities. I highly recommend him!

I worked with Carl at a college in Seattle and always found him to be a consummate professional. Carl is a talented designer and artist that has that rare ability to transfer his knowledge to students, so the information becomes clear for them to understand.
