Your tutorials are so easy to follow. I’m an artist but even people who aren’t artists can easily become one just by following your tutorials.

Unlike most other tutorials you really explain what you are doing, and why and how you are doing it which is invaluable and worth the patreon sub. Thankyou!

What a gorgeous painting. I only paint with oils but I just have to try this one anyway. Wish me luck!

I've been watching and trying tutorials for a month now as a very beginner and giving up 5 minutes. No matter how I tried my paint was not looking anything like the video. Then I found your how to load your brushes video and suddenly I could paint a normal looking "swipe". In this desert sunset tutorial you not just say pick up this color paint here, but you explain how much paint, why and how much pressure on the brush. This is "life changing"!!! I can do this! Now that I know what i'm supposed to be doing. Your is the only video out of literally hundreds I've watched on youtube that does this. Thank you so so much!!! I am self taught in many types of art and I didn't want give up on acrylics!

I loved how it doesn't feel rushed and you take your time and explain. I wish you did more like this one. You did a great job.

Jane you are by far the best teacher I have come across so far, you demonstrate everything so clearly - brushes, canvas colours etc., and above all you speak so clearly....you do some lovely work.  Many thanks for your tutorials.  Kind regards Thelma Queensland.

I did this tutorial a couple months ago. Thank you for making this very doable for someone who is still learning this whole painting thing. I appreciate you explaining everything and your calm demeanor. This is my favorite so far!

Jane, you are one of the best artist "teachers" I've had the privilege of watching. You make it seem so easy to paint these pics. Absolutely love these type paintings of yours. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. I have my paints ordered. Soon as they get here I'm trying my hand at this one.

[avrilpereira]

Wow! The colours !!!! Love the layers!! Thank you Jane for sharing your time and talent with folks like us trying to get going! Cheers..

[annettelocke]

I like that it ended up being more than a black silhouette. I absolutely love it! And you are a great teacher, as always. I have learned so much from you.

Your tutorials have helped through this crazy Covid thing. I appreciate your thorough explanation in all the tutorials I've tried. This desert sunset is my favorite so far and it's actually hanging inside my home instead of in my "garage gallery."
