Jane Cochrane - a member of the Suffolk Art Society
I just wanted to thank you so very much for the really brilliant demonstration that you gave us on Friday. You have a clear gift for explaining things clearly and concisely. Your explanation of paints and their properties un-mystified what had always been a bit of a confusing subject to me, and I suspect, many of our members.
Likewise, how you explained how to paint in a "negative space" to create a picture with depth and translucency - fascinating, and a method I am sure we will all want to explore further.
Thank you again for a very enjoyable talk

I got her home yesterday and decided to put her amongst my wall art which includes Bicycles, Banksies and Fathers day cards! I hope you think I have done her justice Jane! Thank you so so much for painting her.

It was such a great session. Thank you for all your hard but inspiring work. My head is still buzzing. I have a feeling there will be a lot to talk about when the art Club meets next week. Lorna,
I wanted to thank you for the excellent session at Hacheston Art Group last week. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely do some more negative painting. It certainly takes some concentration, but I like a challenge! Jill,
Firstly may I say how much I enjoyed your Art session last Thursday, Margot

Hi Jane,
I was so disappointed not to have been able to meet you on Tuesday and from what I have heard I missed a very interesting day. Everyone really enjoyed it, so thank you for making it such an enjoyable day.
I loved the painting. I am afraid I am not a fan of acrylics but after seeing how lovely your painting is, I might be swayed to think again😊.

Hi Jane
Just to say, we were really thrilled to have won your Church Lane pic in the raffle on Sunday - such a lovely surprise to start the week with on Monday.
It’s absolutely beautiful and how great it is that it’s going to live in Church Lane - it’s looking very much at home already!
Lots of love, A & G xxx

Hi Jane
I have now had the opportunity to speak to a number of members who attended your demo and like myself found it extremely informative presented in a relaxed way. Come later in the year when not so busy enjoying working in the garden and on my allotment I will certainly be having a go at working with colour pencils a little more than I had previously. - Yvonne (June 2018)
I just wanted to say how much I love the picture you made. I really like your paintings, and this is one of the sweetest gifts we ever got. Can't wait to have it on the wall, we just can't agree where to put it There are too many options where it would look perfect. Thank you xx (August 2020)
Thank you, Jane, for painting/creating such a beautiful and personal wedding gift for Matt and me. We were both so very touched when we unwrapped it. The representation of all the dogs is excellent and we love the inclusion of our initials too, as well as the celebratory champagne! N & M (2020)
Hi Jane, I really enjoyed your talk. Never knew there was so much you can do with colour pencils! - Rose (June 2018)
So tomorrow should be the 1 week count down to our wedding day 👰🏼🤵🏻 BUT the bastard virus got in the way. The amazingly talented @janesartworks painted this for me and the hubby-to-be. It’s now technically a whole year early but I bloody love it and it’s going up 😍 = S&C (June 2020)

Hi Jane
Just wanted to confirm safe receipt and thank you.
The painting is beautiful, you have a wonderful talent and I am sure my wife will be thrilled!
We get over to Jersey on a very regular basis, who knows we may one day bump into each other when you're visiting your daughter! Once again a massive thanks. Andy (JULY 2017)
Sooty just loved your picture and tears were shed!
Your work and generosity were much appreciated by the assembled and it was all a great success
Thanks so much - Andrew (Dec 2016)
It is fabulous news to hear that you have gone professional and to think that we, in some very small way, helped tip the balance to encourage you to take the final leap, congratulations. Would you mind terribly to write on the back of the picture to dedicate this picture to Del in fond memories of the Snape Gallery exhibition, September 2016 - S Green (Nov 2016)
