Jenna Rainey enjoying your videos so very much. Wanting to get back to my art after being away for many years. You are inspiring me. Thank you so much. Dottie from Iowa.

[@olamalujee]

I watch your tutorials for about a week or so, and just wanna thank you for doing this. It's so soothing and calming. It's also very helpful, so yeah, THANKS a lot!

[@JMarie-db2lv]

Awesome once again and so so very helpful 😊. Please please please keep up these wonderful teaching videos 😁🌷

Just finished watching this and I must say that this right here has helped me the most thus far. Your an amazing teacher and we’re all blessed to have you 💜

[@artbya613]

WOW! I seriously can't believe how great mine came out! That's really a reflection of what a great teacher you are, Jenna! You have mentioned that you are a visual learner. So am I. And the way you break it all down... from shapes to composition to the final piece.. it's incredible! A family member walked by my desk and said, "She must be a great teacher because yours looks just like hers!" Thank you for spreading your love of art and your love of teaching with the world. Don't ever stop! - ❤ A huge fan!!

That truly means a lot! ❤️❤️❤️

[@janethorn6032]

Hi, I'm totally new in this and find that I have to watch the whole video once before I draw or paint practice. And sometimes back up the videos a couple of times but I really am learning. You are a articulate teacher. One of these days I'll show you what I'm doing.

[@Walkingtalkingprayer]

Starting out now! Whos with me :) I enjoy this so much and i love the way you teach! This is how i learn best. i enjoy listening to your voice and just doodling around with you. Looking forward to working through your videos :) thank you so much for sharing all this ❤️ you are appreciated!! Love from germany!

[@BluJean55]

You are a fabulous teacher!! Thank you Jenna!!! 😃💕

Wow cant believe this class was two years ago- I would love to see everyone's progress over the years :)

[@jyi5506]

Hi! I’ve been drawing along with your flower illustration class-it’s sloppy with much to develop-but, these are the first flowers I’ve drawn since teenage daisies. (I’m 67 lol!) I never knew I could, and I’ve wanted to for quite awhile. I’ve been following all of your classes so far and you have hooked this student! I am so glad I found your lessons. Much love from Massachusetts!

[@Ieat2much]

at the age of 50 I have drawn the best leaves flowers I have ever drawn in my life ! I am so grateful for doing this for us. Love your books btw. Still working on misty trees :) I just drew on watercolour paper with pencil and then used coloured markers to make the details / final drawings and erased the pencil lines.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

You are so welcome! ❤️

[@gingerbuchanan2795]

Thank you again Mrs. Rainey! I love your style and I'm learning so much from your classes here. Thank you again and again. Can't wait for your take on color theory tomorrow!

[@gailcartee2100]

Thank you for your teaching style. It makes so much sense to me. I can remember it and continue to apply your lessons. Being able to visualize your teaching encourages me to draw and/or paint every day.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

I am so happy to hear this, Gail! ❤️❤️

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Jenna, I'm so thankful that you share your talent ❣ Your directions are clear😊

Florals (and wildlife) are my absolute favorite thing to paint and I learned a ton from this. Than you!

Thank you! I am pleased with my leaves and am learning a lot from you!

Aw love hearing that, thanks for sharing Sierrah! ❤️

[@susanhamilton3212]

If only we had had a proper art teacher like you at school my 45 year career would have been entirely different! I doodled a lot working in admin - free pens! Tonight I produced quite a recognizable peony ... with grownup shading, so proud! It's a great start and can only get better with practice, thank you for another super-valuable lesson :)

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

I am SO PROUD of you, Susan!!! Thank you so much for sharing, I absolutely LOVE hearing of people achieving good results in their watercolor journey! ❤️

[@barbarafunk5118]

I have bought two of Jennas books, Everyday watercolor florals, one for a gift .....I scrolled back and it worked thx

[@Li-bn2tw]

Awesome teaching! Super useful and helpful for beginners to find some direction! Thank you, Jenna! Your book 《 Everyday Watercolor 》 is really awesome! I love it!! Great creation!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Aw thanks for the love and support! ❤️❤️

[@anndolin3720]

JR art school has helped me so much! You really break it down to understandable parts I feel successful from the start Thank you, thank you. Realize I need to learn to draw before I can do justice to watercolor florals. Love your style. Can't wait to pick up one of your books.

[@huiz.a.2066]

I just turned 40 a few days ago. Have been thinking of learning how to draw. Finally started today. Love your classes. Many many thanks!

[@lizmiller7681]

I really can’t believe how my stem-then-ovals flower turned out going by your simple directions. I am continually amazed! And, my leaves have finally grown up into mature looking art. Can’t say thank you enough! I have watched several tutorials on drawing and watercolor, and I now can honestly say that I’ve found my best place to be for learning. Truly. ⚡️💖⚡️ “Dullest pencil in the worrrld...” LOL! Love it⚡️💖⚡️ I know that sensation!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Aw thanks so much Liz!! I'm so happy to hear of your improvement and the joy you're finding in art! Thanks so much for watching and supporting my channel! ❤️

[@sherrylaird4361]

Thank you so much Jenna! I learned so much from this video!! You ROCK girl!!!

[@justme5544]

Oh my goodness. I cannot believe what I drew after watching this. YOU ARE AMAZING!! Thank you!!

[@happihook1581]

I am a fan I have your book Everyday Watercolors Flowers. As an absolute beginner I was intimated to attempt anything. This class and the previous two has boosted my confidence to try. I did this lesson first in pen then mixed watercolor and watercolor pencils. Thank you for the time you take to break down the shapes and techniques. Going to get your other book ....

[@robincooper9323]

Wow! I could spend a lot of time practicing this lesson, and I plan to. Thank you so much for this lesson. I'm a beginner at art of all types and all you tips are very helpful but your composition tips are especially helpful. If you can draw good and make your leaves look good, you still have to be able to compose them. I'm looking forward to your color theory class. I did not draw with you during the live stream, but I am drawing with you now.

[@cindymccann3753]

Jenna, I just discovered these school lessons. How awesome. I will visit them this summer.

[@cherylheard1969]

Just worked through this and I can’t believe how much this helped me! The shapes made sense to me and helped me visualize how the petals and leaves should face which has been so hard to grasp! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Glad it helped! Thanks for sharing Cheryl! ❤️

[@barbarareiger2559]

Jenna, I love your channel and I have been having so much fun learning all you have to teach us. I’ve done the 1st one twice already

[@i.s.4771]

Great teaching. I am learning so much. Thank you Jenna.

[@xboxgamertrev6763]

this is exactly what I need I love drawing flowers but leave out the basic shapes I just look at the reference and find a spot to start, but that doesn't help me with drawing from imagination so watching this I'll definitely be practicing

[@mylamalaiba9426]

Thank you.You inspired me to paint again.And practice my skill in painting.🥰

[@johnappleton5500]

Thanks so much. 😊

[@lucrezialevanti4339]

Hi Jenna! I absolutely loved this class! Unfortunately I could not join it live, but i just completed it today. You have helped me so much in regards to flower shapes, sizes and shading. I actually followed along with you as you drew, and took notes with your instructions on each paper I drew on. This way i don't forget ! lol - Thanks again for your generosity in sharing this with us. I am also taking the watercolor summit and loved your lessons in the beginning of the summit. I think your great and i pray you and your family are safe and healthy during this time in all our lives. Your lessons definitely help in shutting out the world for a little while. Ahhhhhhhhh
