Love the instruction with full detail on the 1st part of this course.
Tracing and how to create the trace to the project was well explained. Brush conditioning is something I never knew and really helpful.

Absolutely loved the course
I had contemplated getting this course for a while and finally decided to join up, it's the best thing I did, I couldn't paint for toffee but within a week I was painting flowers and adding them together and creating art.
I spent hours sat painting without realising it, first I'd learn the lesson, then completing the assignment before doing my own doodles. I had plenty of encouragement from Toni and Carole plus everyone on the Facebook group.
I have a few projects I need to finish before I start the next class but it is definitely on my to do list. I'm definitely going to incorporate what I've learnt with my love of dot painting.

Progress not Perfection Course
I absolutely love this course.
I am noticing my confidence grow on each lesson and I am enjoying the feedback and seeing other people’s progress and project ideas ! Just what I needed in my life right now as my health isn’t great so it’s the little bit of sunshine when I accomplish a new lesson ❤️

Carole and Toni are great tutors and will answer any questions you have for them, and the Folk Art Community Group are a lovely bunch, lots of advise and project sharing from the group which encourages you and inspires you along the way. Thank you for introducing me to Folk Art…..I love it

The best painting course
The Beginners Folk Art Painting Course is a very well structured course. It has given me a lot of wonderful new painting skills and the confidence to feel that I can continue painting and achieve in whatever I attempt to do. The importance of practice is reinforced in this course and this is where the results are achieved. I enjoyed this course immensely.

What fun!!!
I loved this course! The instructions were clear and I was able to pause and play back as many times as I needed. The projects were super cute and built upon each other so that each new painting technique that was learned was used over and over to allow more practice. I'm so glad I found the You Can Folk It courses. I can't wait to learn even more!

A TRULY beginner course
I have taken a couple of beginner art courses in the past and always found I was struggling to keep up and then gave up and would never finish the course. From someone who is truly a begginer, this course has taught me the techniques and paint strokes to achieve an end product. I know what I am working towards with each step. I've only finished 4 courses as of this note and plan to finish this beginner course. I look forward to sitting down and practicing and learning something new with each step.
I also love that I can do this at my leisure. I practice as much as I want, when I want and don't put any pressure on myself. It's "perfect" for me.

perfect course for both experienced and novice painters
Whether picking up a brush for the first time or adding to skills you already have, this well designed and easy to follow course will lay the foundation or compliment an existing skill set with the basic strokes of folk art painting. Finding joy in painting and the accomplishments you achieve will be acknowledged and encouraged by the Carol and Toni, who provide prompt and positive feedback every step of the way. Additionally there is an active and supportive student Facebook group . The supplies included in the basic kit are more than enough to start your journey into folk painting. 10/10 recommend this course for yourself or as a gift for someone in your life who has always been drawn to painting.

A nice course
I liked the no pressure style of this course. I took advantage of the ability to get creative with designs and colors and really enjoyed that. The kit had everything I needed. I saw the improvement I was hoping for.Thanks!

Don’t hesitate - start today!
I’m now halfway through the beginners course and I can’t believe how much pleasure I’m getting from this. It was hard to fry and find the time each day - but it is so worth it. I’m now in the habit of watching each of the short videos first (over breakfast usually) and then going back over them again when I sit down to do my 15 min daily practice.
If you commit to the practice you will be painting in a way you never thought possible.
Excellent support and customer service is the watchword of Folk It!

Glad I did this beginners course in Folk Art
The course has everything you need to get started in Folk Art. The tutors Toni and Carol are easy to reach when assistance is needed. There is a supportive and friendly Facebook group always on hand if you want a fellow student to support you on the journey. I have learned a great deal more than I thought I would. I'm so looking forward to continuing with Folk It in practicing what I have learned so far and learning even more in the intermediate course.

Review of Beginners Folk Art Painting Course
The course is very well structured and gives you all the information you need to become a proficient folk art painter. The lessons are easy to follow and the content is well structured and engaging. I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and will be moving on to the Intermediate Course and then the Academy. I have already painted some decorative items and am really pleased with the results. I would highly recommend this course.
Thank you so much Carol and Toni.

Cuppa Tea and a G and T!
Having seen an ‘advertisement’ that peaked my interest, I wasn’t sure whether this was going to be my cuppa tea. From signing up to final assignment, it’s more than exceeded my expectations. It’s the oooooh that you get when you drink that first cuppa tea in the morning or the perfect G and T. Thank you Carol and Toni for giving me the oooooh. I will certainly be continuing my journey with you.
