What students are saying:

"That’s the shortest and best class on Skillshare!"

"Jane has immediately become my favourite SkillShare teacher! Her unique style and explanations of how and why are fantastic! Thank you, Jane!"

"A very enjoyable way to begin to learn the fun and skill of watercolor"

"Thank you sooooo much! I've been waiting for your class to start. I'm thrilled. Love your easy to follow style. As a beginner, it means a lot to me to be able to follow the lesson well. Looking forward to the next one."

"Hello Jane, I viewed your lessons fully and will rewatch and paint. I see where wet in wet can be an enhanced feature for illustration. Listening with my headphones and the chirping bird in the background was a lovely feature :). I have a Samsung tablet and the resolution and sound is really beautiful for your lessons."

"This class exceeded my expectations! Wow, congratulations Jane!! Just watching this through... I just LOVE trees, they are my enduring love, so I may take some time out from surface pattern designing to just relax and watch the paint flow where it wants! Love DS watercolours too, so I'll have a rummage about, see if I have any granulating ones too. Thank You! Lovely bright, cheery class :O)"

"I already adore Jane's work and this class couldn't be different. She has magical hands to bring beautiful images to life in watercolor, and this beginner's exercise is a great way to get rid of our fear to work with this medium. I had so much joy, it was relaxing and I got confident of using paint on wet without that feeling that "I'm gonna ruin everything." Music by Audionautix.com"
