My husband sits with me while I watch painting videos. He says that you, Jane, give the best instructions. There is no interference with unnecessary chatter. Just directly to the point with close-ups. Thank you for being such an awesome instructor.

[@jennifercasto7002]

I agree. There is one teacher that drives my crazy with her husband banter.

[@janhoyle1462]

Bravo! Another great painting Jane!

[@giuseppeborracci5501]

Hey Jane. Really loving your tutorials. Thank you so much for the explanations, really helps the beginner. I have tried this tutorial, but I used oil paints. Just had to let the paint dry for a few days before adding other things. Great results. Thanks again.

[@jpenza8043]

I just got interested in painting and looked at a few tutorials . I stumbled across yours and love them. I feel very tense trying out things but the way you explain your methods is very relaxing and rewarding. Love all your work and looking forward to trying out some of your paintings soon. Keep up the good work, your voice is so comforting.

[@Plsjustfacts]

Thank you bunches and bunches, Jane! Your tutorials have helped my painting so much. The way you instruct how to execute the beautiful paintings, the techniques you use, and explaining how and why are sooo effective in your teaching. Please keep your fabulous tutorials coming! 🥰

[@norakaven3705]

Fun painting!!!

[@joyofdigitalpainting8909]

Lovely 😘 It's really helpful when you show your colour palette and the way you mix your colours. Every artist on youtube should show it, it gives a better idea for the beginner.

[@ginettegingras7081]

Love the painting Jane! TFS

[@joettedepinto2350]

HI Jane, I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your tutorials. Love this painting. I hope you know how therapeutic your painting techniques are. I suffer from Rheumatoid arthritis and Fibromyalgia. And suffer from a lot of pain in my muscles and joints. I find painting to relax me. It may take me a couple of days or even a week or two to finish a painting but I just work as long as I can then take a break. I truly feel as if it's my own therapeutic session. I just relax and enjoy your session. Your voice is soothing and you don't rush giving me time to really understand what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your talent....

[@maureenpeak7751]

I went into "the zone" with you around that knot lol😀 thank for this beautiful tutorial

[@rkh1942]

This is the first time I have watched one of your videos but it won't be the last. I appreciated your helpful commentary throughout the lesson and your voice and demeanor are calming.

[@dianeresnick2756]

Great video. I think your tutorials are my favorites. You are so calm and encouraging with no chatter. I always like the way you demonstrate different strokes and techniques. Just one thing that I would like to see more of...more bright, colorful works rather than nighttime and dark scenes. Appreciate yourvideos so much!

[@Kim_1060]

I am so glad I clicked on this video! I really appreciate the teaching that you don’t get on many tutorials. I am loving this!! Thank you! Subscribed and will definitely be anxious for more👏🏻👏🏻

[@julieross546]

I followed along and painted this picture. I learned so many things, one being that I love to paint wood. It’s my most favorite of all that I have done so far. I am a newbie to acrylics and so happy that I found your channel.

[@rosaliecruz4304]

Beautiful. What talent.

[@jeaninehinckel77]

Hi Jane, I've watched several of your acrylic painting video's and have enjoyed every one of them. You are great at making me feel at ease with painting. Its so relaxing watching and listening as you paint and explain each step. You are a great teacher indeed. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent.

[@janejarvis8037]

Hi Jane. This a newbie to your channel from UK. I totally agree with Jeanine. Saves me typing.
