“I’ve always painted colorfully, but after taking Juliette Crane’s course, I’m adding collage and dots. I’m also less of a perfectionist as well.”

“Juliette’s instruction is not just an instruction on how to paint pretty pictures but it’s for creative process. It helped me in facing my fear of I’m-gonna-mess-this-up or I’m-not-a-good-artist. Juliette guided me through openness so I can let what wants to appear, appear.”

“I am 64 and have always wanted to draw and paint. You show us all of the phases of the piece – the good, the bad, the ugly, and the finished wonderful face. Then we see the finished piece. Now when I struggle to get to the end of the process, I know that it’s okay to take a while to get there.”

“I’ve gone from cut and paste to fearless throwing paint on paper and actually painting and trusting in the process.”

“I’d always felt that need for perfection the first time around and it led to so much frustration and thrown away pieces that weren’t just right. Seeing your process of letting the piece become what it wants to become instead of trying to force it into what you want it to be was an epiphany to me! Thank you for teaching us your style and letting us see the mistakes along the way.”

“Juliette does a great job of breaking down the elements so anyone can follow and create art they can be proud of. If you are a perfectionist like me and felt stuck when creating then you will definitely enjoy her courses. Once I saw the creative process broken down and how it morphs or changes I felt much more at ease. Paint is forgiving … and once I realized that, my artistic door was open-wide open!”

“This class has been the best experience ever! I love how Juliette teaches, I love that there are no hard & fast rules, and I love the fact that even scribbles look like art. The best thing about this course, is that I can share it with my 5 children (well, the baby is too little yet; but she loves to watch). I am a homeschooler, and my 3 girls & son cannot wait for our weekly “art classes” with Juliette.”

“Juliette’s classes are soul-filling! I WISH I could express how you have changed my vision and freed my mind.”

“Juliette provides a great combination of technique and inspiration, as well as a fun glimpse into her inner artist and what it is like to be an artist. It is also very nice to receive feedback directly from Juliette as well as the other students in the class.”

“I always have trouble starting something because I’m never really sure what I want and I’m super intimidated to paint anything specific. It’s almost paralyzing, really. The background techniques really let me loosen up from expectation and just start, then take the next step, then the next and things start to appear rather organically. I LOVED that! I also enjoyed the feeling that nothing is sacred and you can just paint over it and keep pushing through until it really comes alive, and that it’s totally OK that it might not end up at all where you thought it would.”

“So many videos and Juliette’s helpful commentary and guidance through the whole process. It really helped me loosen up while experimenting with many different media and techniques. Other classes I’ve taken just speed edit through the most important parts, while Juliette takes the time to explain what motivates her artistic process. That, for me, is the value of a class.”

“Serendipity 1 was the in depth instruction that I was really looking for to take some of the quick pieces I’d done and really develop them further. Watching Juliette work through a piece until she really felt the character develop was so helpful. Knowing that I wasn’t making any mistakes and that if something wasn’t working just changing my tool or supply could get me right through that tough spot was so useful. I really found that after this course I was able to not let negative self talk that was holding me back so often with my art get me down. Juliette is so relatable that I felt she’s been there and felt that too and she had solutions that really worked.”

“My tendency used to be to rip out the page and wad it up. Because of you, I am learning to not be so harsh on myself… to just keep building layers and see what emerges!”

“Anyone just thinking of taking one of Juliette’s classes, I urge you to do so! I’m learning soooo much. It’s got me over my fear of drawing faces!”

“I’ve had so much fun re-connecting with my painterly side! I love the results of trying to be more free and relaxed in my style. Keeping my style as loose as I can get it is what I want most out of your class, and I definitely feel that I’ve improved in that area.”

“I have learned so much and have learned how to let go and just do it. Juliette is a great teacher. I love her calm voice and easy going manner. I like that she isn’t afraid to show her frustrations and lets you see her work through them.”

“Your classes opened my eyes to having more fun creating. Now I’m not scared of starting a project and I’m having a blast creating backgrounds!”

“Juliette was always welcoming and helpful, quickly answering questions and commenting on everyone’s work–very hands-on and involved.”

“Thank you for teaching me to let go, splash paint, enjoy and discover the joy of serendipitous moments.”

“I had a fear of faces and now I can’t stop painting them.”

“Sometimes I get stuck and often I wonder how I can be sure to paint something really ugly and awkward. But that’s something I’ve learnd from you: to let go, LET IT BE, to relax and to be patient.”

“Juliette’s teaching style grabbed me from the beginning and I immediately felt like I could do this. I am proud to say I have been working steadily through the class completing the weekly projects AND I am now absolutely hooked on the painting process. I am feeling so much more confident about my art.”

“Juliette was wonderful at answering my questions right away. She gave me great tips for the times when I was feeling stuck, to move forward.”

“Juliette’s class has been a true catalyst for the artist within!”

“Juliette shares all she knows so that her students can start (or continue) their creative journey.”

“I appreciate learning techniques and applying them in my own way and Juliette’s style of teaching really facilitates this.”

“The class group has been so fun! All the lovely comments and art from co-students has been a joy for me.”

“Juliette shows how she works through creating a painting. What is especially great about this, besides the tips on technique, methods, and art materials, is that she shows how she goes through the ugly stages or the “this isn’t working” stages and pushes through. It is very inspirational (and comforting) to see a person who paints for a living also struggles with these issues.”

“I’ve been working on developing my own style and exploring mixed media backgrounds. This class has taught me to trust in the process and when something doesn’t seem right you can just go over it and allow something new to emerge.”

“Sitting down in front of my computer in the morning and logging into this class was the highlight of my day. You are an exceptional teacher and I have learned so much. Thank you for the countless hours it took you to prepare this class. You are my inspiration. I liked watching the videos over and over again and when I went to create my owl, I was pleased with what I had done…..this would not be possible without such an excellent teacher.”

“Starting was a big milestone for me but once I did it became my savior! I’d say that if anyone out there is looking for an online class that gets you just ‘doing’ instead of ‘thinking’ this is the one for you. At last I’ve found the style of art that I absolutely love and even though I can’t draw for peanuts I’ve been happy with the pieces that I’ve created – thanks to the amazing guidance of Juliette who has the most lovely teaching style.”

“I learn best when I see you paint while you give information as to why your painting is working or is in need of correction. The way you work through your corrections gives me insight into my own issues and encourages me to keep going. Your videos are fun, light, colorful and always a pleasure to watch. Because of you, I enjoy painting and will try anything.”

“You have given me the tools to help me develop my creativity and the confidence to continue ”

“Loved taking Juliette’s class, because she made me push further than I’ve done just by myself. She’s given me some really valuable tools for me to use in my own work, while having fun and letting go.”

“Whimsical Animals class changed my art life forever! One of the best classes I have ever taken. Juliette is so clear and easy to follow along. I never thought I would be able to paint an owl, or any animal. Now I just paint them easily!”

“I’m having so much fun with Juliette and her Joy Of Painting class. Playing with new materials and exploring different styles and techniques is such a nice way to switch things up when I need a little creative boost.”

“Juliette shares every step of her creative process in an honest way. The videos are worth watching over and over. I am inspired to try so many new things!”

“I have a long way to go until I am working as completely from my soul as Juliette works, but I am finally on that path.”
