I am very thankful for the longer video's where you slow down and really explain things. I feel I can keep up a little better. I used to rush through paintings just trying to get them done. I just ended up frustrated. Now I dont care if it takes a month to do a painting and that is because of you. I enjoy painting so much more now. I remind myself I am not in a competition with anyone.......its not a race. The quality of my paintings has greatly improved as well. Thank you for that!

[@SicilyJo]

Jane, this is what sets you apart from all the others. You do take your time, and you explain so thoroughly, please know how immensely helpful that is to someone learning, like me. Part of learning is reflecting, not just quickly doing/copying what someone else does. You give me that vital opportunity to reflect, understand, prepare, and more with your stellar tutorials. You are providing a generous gift of WHAT a talented artist thinks about and does (the HOW )when creating a painting. I cannot thank you enough for helping me and others to build true skill.

[@MeganZopf]

I had to learn patience with the rose and take a lot of breaks with it. I'd never be able to paint this without the help of your video.

[@carmennavar6961]

Absolutely gorgeous and the comments are greatly appreciated especacilly the value of time with the painting

[@edmoxey1527]

You are a very good teacher. thanks

[@andreagreff2316]

Oh Jane, I appreciate you so much! Your soothing voice. Your sage advice. I really needed to hear that it is OK to take as long as I want to finish a painting and to enjoy it. Thank you!

[@janetgrant3487]

It doesn’t matter how long your paintings are, they are beautiful and you’re music, voice and calming techniques along with your tutorials and superb. Take all the time you need. You make me feel like I can accomplish anything by not stressing so much. I have had instructors say that I grip a brush like I would grip a shovel, so it will be a challenge to lighten up on the grip. Thank you.

[@marievaillant216]

I love your tone. It is so relaxing to watch you work. unlike other artists I viewed, your tutorial is not stressful to watch. You give us viewers time to breath with plenty of insight on what is going on in your mind as you progress through your creation.

[@TXPRiNCEZZ09]

I was born and raised in South TX, the same town singer Selena Quintanilla - Perez was from and since I was a little girl, I always associated roses with her, especially red and white ones. And they're also my mothers favorite flower so when I see roses, they make me happy and make me think of the people who had a huge impact on me. I can't wait to try this and gift it to my mother. Thank you Jane, you're the best! xoxo

[@norakaven3705]

WOW! This is, by far, THE BEST rose tutorial I have ever seen! You paint and explain with ease. Thank you Thank you Thank you Jane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mamtamangani4406]

Im just love in with this painting😍😍

[@MISSDIXIE3071]

I HAVE SEARCHED AND SEARCHED FOR THE PERFECT ONE.I LOOKED AT EVERYONE ON YOU TUBE.THIS LOOKS LIKE THE MOST PERFECT ROSE I HAVE SEEN ANYWHERE.I HAVE TO SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR HELP BECAUSE I HAVEN'T PAINTED IN YEARS AND I NEVER PAINTED ON CANVANS.I EVEN HAVE TO GO OUT AND BUY ALL HER SUPPLIES.WISH ME LUCK AND ANY GOOD ADVICE IS WELCOME.

[@husna1207]

Me too😂 She's grt❤️

[@ryansnyder4997]

Watching you paint is very relaxing to me. And your voice is so sothing to my ears thank you .

[@katwarren9982]

I have to say that watching you paint this Rose was absolutely mesmerizing. It was like watching a dark fog dissipating and the Rose becoming more and more visible. So magical. Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into your video lessons. ♥️♥️♥️

[@learnbyheart7]

After watching you paint this deep red rose, I think I must take back what I said about those grid lines. I can see your result is worth that effort. This has to be the most beautiful rose in KZbin.

[@ViKee010]

I just happened across your video today. And when I saw the grid, I thought this isn’t for me. I’ve always just painted what I see. But I look at the beauty of this rose and the colors you chose and knowing nothing in it had white and the values of the colors along with the black canvas, which is one of my favorite things to paint on, and I’m so very impressed and thankful I stayed with you while you painted this rose. Thank you for your honesty and frank feelings about what sometimes is a difficult zen to find. But you did it. And taught us a lot more than just the beauty of painting. God bless.

[@robinlong6499]

This is absolutely stunning. In addition, the way it is presented is incredibly relaxing and soothing. The background music is very calming which is very suitable for this piece.

[@siddharthjoshi2460]

Just beautiful!! Roses are so difficult to paint .... I think the grid helps! ..... but the amazing shading you do is what makes it so real!

[@marnie8943]

This is beautiful. I will love doing this in red, but my next one will be a peace rose. Yellow with pink tips. That was a special rose for both my husband and I. It's something I've wanted to paint for a long time, but just didn't know how to break it down. This made my day.

[@pmb5005]

Wow! Stunning & beautiful! This is my favorite tutorial thus far! Hope you do more large flowers! Thanks for sharing!

[@JCcreates927]

I love the grid drawing that you’ve been doing. I don’t do Valentine’s Day either, if you don’t love all year long than one day is not going to fix anything.

[@vibhutithakkar4632]

Wowwwwwww jane! It's beautiful! Amazing! I was looking all over for a red rose tutorial but I didn't find any tutorial upto my satisfaction! N today I just saw your video and I was soooo happy! Thank you so much for this great rose.. I am definitely gonna try this soon! You made it look so easy.. Thank you jane.. love you😘

[@alisoncross1270]

Reminds me of an Elvis Costello album cover - mighty like a rose. Beautiful, it will be on my to do list. Think I'll be getting my EC cd out too. Thanks Jane

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much! I love Elvis Costello, and my favorite song of his is Alison! 💛🌹

[@josianeholbe]

bobsoir Jane , quelle patience pour peindre la ros, qui est sublime, on dirais quelle est vrai, elle est sublimeeeeee, j adore!!!

[@sheilaharvey1700]

Insanely fabulous ❤️❤️

[@kateboyd6961]

Love the rose and greatly enjoyed painting it. The grid system just wasn't working for me so I took the pic on a usb the local staples and had it blown up to the size of my canvas (16x20) as an engineering print in black & white - about $2.50. Much easier to trace onto the canvas using black carbon paper first, which I then go over with a chalk (it all gets painted over in the end). Sounds complicated, but I watch Jane's video while doing this, so by the time I'm done with the tracing I know the proportions are perfect and my head is in the right space to launch into painting.

[@carolynmiller4798]

[@GabyDokter]

amazing,just love it

[@learnbyheart7]

Jane, I love your Rose but I don't think I will ever do that grid. I don't have your patience, wish I did, will just try and eye it or do thirds or quarters, haha, and pray that is ok. I love your painting, thank you so much for sharing your painting.

[@juliepeck6915]

So awesome ! Love it Jane!! Can’t wait ❤️ 🌹

[@itsacindypainting]

Beautiful ❤

[@jane-nq1hd]

Absolutely stunning!. I found the grid difficult and time consuming so I have a little suggestion for your viewers. I often take a picture to my local Blue Print shop (not a regular copier store) and she copies whatever I ask for because the Blue Print machine is large enough to go big. I either take in the canvas or just the dimensions and the cost is around $2.00. For me it is well worth it. Just FYI.

[@evonapro]

Awesome. You are amazing.

[@fionalu1005]

Amazing! Thank you !

[@mariaj317]

Whooohooo! This is awesome!! ❤️ cant wait!!
