Iris is a sweet and enthusiastic teacher. She has a big heart for her students and really cares about them. She offers great guidance. I would recommend Rainbow Journal especially for art journal beginners or for those who have white page fear.

I love “Get Inspired”. This PDF is filled to the brim with helpful ideas on how to reach your fullest creative potential! From looking at the fears that stop you from creating to uncovering ways to by-pass the inner critic. For the easily overwhelmed, Iris lists several easy ways to get started on your art journal pages going over art supplies and creative prompts to get you in an art-making mood! 🙂 An inspiring PDF indeed!

I have thoroughly enjoyed taking the online classes from Iris. While there are many places on line where you can learn how to paint I feel that Iris’s classes are unique. Yes, Iris teaches you how, but she also teaches the “why” and helps you to be you. Her gentle way of encouraging and teaching allows you to feel good about where you are in your journey and how to take the techniques and lessons and make them your own. I highly recommend taking any of her courses and I look forward to learning from her again in the future.

I recently took an on-line art lesson with Iris-Fritschi-Cussens. I really enjoyed learning from Iris, she has a wonderful way of speaking. Her lesson was clear and concise and easy to follow. Along with Iris’s lesson she had a in-depth PDF explaining the lesson, laying out for you a little bit about herself, the supplies you need and the goals of the lesson. Iris really walks you through everything you need to know step-by-step. Iris really encourages you to create your own journey and she’s there along to support you in that journey. Her on line art lessons are a great way to learn at your own pace.

I really enjoyed Iris’s lesson! She helped me to understand how colors work together which always seemed a little tricky to me, but I understand it now! She explained her lesson very well by letting the student know why she was doing what she was doing, to create the piece of art she created.Through her teaching she gave me the confidence to relax and create my own piece of art that I wouldn’t have otherwise done. Using colors in the face I normally would not have used which took my art to a whole new level!! I feel like a better artist after taking Iris’s lesson! Thank you so much Iris!

Something funny just happened. I was sitting in the bus reading your guide Get Inspired. It was so interesting that I totaly forgot to follow the route. When I remembered to look I was some 5 km from my bus stop. So I realy got inspired and got a nice walking in the sun

You were very prepared and got straight to the lesson [on Rainbow Journal]. I also liked your quick feedback on our sharing. Easy instructions. Anyone can do it!!!

I really enjoyed watching your process and having you explain the whys and hows for the steps as you go along. I need to see this for my brain to really follow and give me a foundation to do the artwork myself. I’ve watched the [Rainbow Journal] videos several times. I get something more each time. [It was] informative, creative and FUN!

I liked that you showed so many different techniques [on Rainbow Journal]. I especially liked your motto, “Better done than perfect.” You make art fun, non-threatening, and I leaned so much.

I often recommend your courses to others because I feel you connect to a deeper part of our being to enable us to get familiar with our creative selves.

Iris, thank you so much for the PDF. It is really inspiring to me. It is so recognizable, the fear of creating something ugly, the inner criticism, and fear of just being me. I love the way you draw the whimsical figurers, and how easy they look/are. Dear Iris, keep on going being Iris, I just love that girl! Big hug Petra ooo and a huge huge compliment about how you put the PDF together girl!!! Thanks
