“As a furniture painter for over 10 years, using many different techniques and tools of the trade, I am amazed at the new things I have learned in this course! Jane takes the time to show many intricate details of each step, walking us through each one and building step by step to create all the beautiful finishes. I am so happy that I can now take my work to the next level, adding all these new techniques to my portfolio. Rather than “just painting” a single color, I can now create depth and so much more interest to each piece! I have learned to trust myself (with Jane’s help) while exploring the many many options Jane has provided using her knowledge and vast expertise .. thank you so much Jane! I am so glad that I have invested in myself and my business!!”
