I love her style. Whimsical, beautiful colors, different mediums and supplies. Her book shows what kind of supplies she uses, so I can go to Walmart and Michaels or the art store and get all the supplies I new for the projects on her book. The way she talks about now she uses mediums, techniques, instructions, tips. I'm going crazy excited to shop for supplies. I can't find the journal she uses, and unless the packaging says the acrylic pain is matte, it's not states on the bottles, so I'm trying to figure out what the difference will be if the painta are different. So far, just working the supplies portion of this book is fun, and I'm learning stuff. I love this book and this professional artist, I'm so thankful that I stumbled across her book.

Amazing step by step guide to creating faces in Jane's style using a number of different mediums. The video class of the Whimsical Face makes a lovely companion to this book. Love Jane's style of art and teaching.
