Reviews and Testimonials

I know this is the end of course 1 so I would like to tell you how much I have enjoyed the whole thing. It has revolutionised my Saturday afternoons in Lockdown as a place of quiet calm and joy. Your videos and word instructions were invaluable, and I feel like I’ve had a wonderful introduction to the world of watercolour. I will certainly be signing up for course 2! Many thanks indeed! Anna

I would like to say a big thank you for all your help in the first course, your helpful remarks were most encouraging.     I was a bit daunted at the prospect which took some time for me to start. It was just what I needed to motivate me after a long pause. I think this next course will certainly keep me busy for a while. Sylvia

“Thanks Jane, I have really enjoyed the challenge of your watercolour courses. I was a complete beginner to watercolours, and you have managed to build my confidence, giving me great tips and constructive feedback along the way. I feel ready to go forth now and establish my own style with the new techniques I have learnt. You can watch as many free tutorials as you like on YouTube but what was important to me and the reason, I purchased Jane’s courses in the first place was to get prompted feedback on each project. Jane proved to be a fantastic, encouraging tutor, you will not regret purchasing her courses.” Anne

Thank you so much for your inspiring and constructive comments Jane. ‘Windermere Sunset’ looks lovely, I can’t wait to get stuck in! Good wishes Christine

I really enjoyed all the colours of the sunset project. I did this one with my nieces who are 13 and 10 and they absolutely loved it too, Best wishes Katie

You have such a gift!!! I watch your videos  you make your paintings come alive your “blobs of trees” suddenly come alive and I can see every branch fantastic Jane thank u for sharing your skills luv Jan

It is a total pleasure working on your projects, I get excited when they pop up in my emails. I am looking forward to starting the last one but also quite sad that it will be over. It has truly been a fabulous Christmas present. Wendy

My friend bought me your course as a gift and although it’s taken me ages to get started, I’m now finding it a real life saver so Thank you..! I’ve really enjoyed your course so far and thought I’d send you my first Derwentwater Posts… it’s been a bit of a lesson in what not to do, I’m a complete beginner and have really been learning how to really look, even found myself looking at everything around me on my walks with new eyes. It’s just lovely to be working with such a beautiful medium, the paper, the colours just a really lovely focus for these moments in time.

Jane I cannot thank you enough for your help and support whilst I undertook your Watercolour course. 5 years ago I went to a local art group and each week I threw my offering in bin!!! Everyone could paint except a couple of us and unfortunately we didn’t get the support needed so when my husband suggested he pay for your course I wasn’t sure as I had seen your wonderful work and thought I bet its not really for beginners but I was wrong all the projects came within 2 days and as in lock down I knew I had the time. I admit the ones with videos were great as I tried and often failed to emulate you but with your support I loved the course and even though I often did at least 6 practice runs I got there and your fantastic feedback with tips helped me achieve so much. I am now beginning the 2nd course and can’t wait!! Thanks again and I have certainly recommended this course to friends here in the Lakes luv Jan

Thank you so much for your tuition. It’s been such an enormous help and “eye opener” as to how watercolours work. It’s been something I have been looking for for quite a while and given me confidence to try it. Angrid

Thanks very much for all your help with this course. As well as the painting techniques, it has taught me patience!!
  Judy

I just wanted to say that I’m so glad I discovered your courses. They have helped me immeasurably this year. I have started to venture out on my own a bit now watercolour-wise Sarah

Many thanks for your kind comments and encouragement during my first on-line painting course – you have been very gentle with me! My husband would like me to pass on his comments to you – he says “As a retired teacher I wish I had been able to use your way with positivity and encouraging comments”.
He has also enjoyed me being occupied – think he means out of his hair – and has noticed how much self confidence you have restored in me. So thank you very much. I should very much like to take the next course and look forward to more challenges. Susan

Thank you Jane.  I’m starting to be brave enough to tackle simple landscapes of my own from photos now, which I wouldn’t have been able to do without having learnt about the techniques and colour mixing from your projects. Clare

I loved the effect of the drops of water on the trees and felt more confident in handling the paint.
I hope it shows but whatever -I’m learning a lot through these courses and look forward to your comments. Maureen

I had never tried an online course before and I am most impressed at how great it has been. Indeed I would rate it well above other classes I have attended. I have learnt so much and found great encouragements from your very kind comments. I feel much more confident and will try painting scenes which I would have been scared to try before. So I am enclosing my last project and I am delighted with it—-not because it is great but because I can see how much I have progressed due to your excellent tuition! Joyce, Belfast

I wish to thank you for your help and encouragement which has helped improve my artwork Elizabeth Yorkshire

“I wish someone had told me these tips earlier, the course has been a real insight into watercolour” Steve, Newcastle.

‘I am really pleased. Certainly one from “outwith the comfort zone” though! I really think that this course is what I needed to help me make progress and I’m loving it. Thanks Jude

‘I am looking forward to doing a third correspondence course with you. I feel I’ve gained so much from the last two, and now have a folder full of very useful tips and information that I can always refer to.’ Jenny from Surrey.

I would like to say how much I have enjoyed it. I have learned so much and now get really excited when I paint in watercolours, You have so much inspired me Jane. Sue from Preston
