[kathyharry]

Thank you Jessica, I enjoyed this video and your great tip on how to make an object sparkle into the background. If I can achieve that look, it'll be you I have to thank again and again. I wish you the best Jessica. Love all of your paintings.

[jcm]

Thanks Jessica, I love how you achieve the glow by blending the color into the dark.

[virginiarparker]

Very nice, I really enjoyed learning from you.

[sheliacruz]

Thanks Jessica, I finally learned how to make something look transparent. Have a great trip and I will see you on "Put some color in your life." It's a great show, more and more people will learn about you and your school. Have fun and God Bless.

[phoebejohnson]

Thanks for tip on painting transparency. It's beautiful.

[michaelparry]

Jessica, it is so great that you will be part of Graeme Stevenson and Put Colour in Your Life. We are all proud of you and now you and what you have done is going to be on that great show, "Put Colour in Your Life. I always enjoy Graeme's work and Your work, so now I can see both on one show. Great work with the orange.

[starvingartistscollective]

Simple subject exquisitely done!! Very enjoyable demonstration, Jessica. Thank you!

Awesome still life painting! I will paint along with this video tomorrow.( I am baking gingerbread people tonight)!
Have a great trip and we will be eager to watch you on the new show, can't wait!

[markdorais]

Beautiful Art Jessica . Making me hungry for oranges as well. ✨👍

[larissasvinoukhova]

Oranges looks very real, thanks for video!

[mariakellner]

That's so exciting, I love colour in your life, it's an Australian show, that's where I'm from, that showcase many great artist, i will make sure I watch Your episode, Graeme travels all over the world .

[andreahewitt]

I love how you get that transparency feeling!

[kellistephens]

I love Colour in Your Life; how exciting that you will be on the show! Thank you for all of your wonderful tutorials. I finally gained the courage to start plein air painting after watching your videos. (I can't wait to watch your episode with Graeme!)

[jamestierney]

Great Job cool highlights 😎
Good LUCK with the TV show You will be a smashing success!

[kitschuetze]

Thanks for this demo. Painting transparency is something I must try :-)

[maria-doloresvazquez-abad]

Thank you again for another great demo. I saw the shades a bit more light blue: is this the effect of the video? Or was it lighter blue in "real life"?

[DenaTollefson]

Beautiful still life with oranges, Jessica! Great tip about using a darker background to increase the sense of transparency and drama. New subscriber!

[TheAngelblue]

I was about to say, how good it will be to see you on the Australian show "Put some colour in your life", but it occurred to me that Graeme handed the reigns over to a chap in San Diego for the American version of the show, so those of us in Australia might not get to see it. But I'm sure your episode will be amazing Jessica, congratulations.

[DrJeeps]

Very nice. I really enjoy your style of painting.
