Thank you for watching!
OMG! I adore you Jane! i painted your sunflower against a red fence yesterday and today i am watching this one, getting ready to lay down some super fine lines...i need practice with my trees in general and brush control more specifically. But your comment about how if someone tells you your tree doesn't look right, then tell them to go paint one so you can pick it apart? YES YES YES to this, and no i would never do that to anyone but have had people critique (read that as critically pick apart) some of my techniques...I think i do pretty darn good for someone who only started painting for the first time ever in October of this year. So boo to the naysayers and YAY to people like you who make me KNOW that i can do this. Thank you for all your videos and cant wait to learn more from you.
I have been painting with acrylics for 6 months now. Learned by watching TH-cam videos... you are by far the best instructor I have seen. I love your videos and learn so much from you... Thank you for taking the time to help us newbies out! You are AWESOME...
+Cyndi Cook Aw, thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I'm so glad I could help inspire you to paint, and I can't wait to see what you've done!!
I loved this painting with the easy to follow guide. This was my first attempt at painting with acrylics and am over the moon, with my finished picture.
I love this painting! My hands aren't always cooperative when it comes to fine details, but I really want to try this one. Wish me luck.
Simply gorgeous!!!!
Thank you, Pauletta!
I just began painting a few months ago when I painted a few pieces for my mom for Mother's Day.. in fact I painted using your whimsical tree painting and it turned out amazing! You are my favorite artist to watch and learn from! Thank you and I look forward to continuing my paintings adventures using your guides and techniques!
jane I am loving your videos and I love this tree. you explain things in detail and it doesn't matter if we mess up. we can clean it up. I cant imagine you shouting at your painting, as you sound so calm and collected. lol art hugs ginxxx
+dottygin Thank you, Gin! I figured that it was better for me to show you that everyone makes mistakes and how to fix them than to edit them out and make you feel self-conscious about them. :) But trust me, I spend plenty of time screaming at paint, lol!!
Jane. I just love this video. I am definitely going to try this tree of life. I was looking for something to paint for my Aunts 96th Birthday and this is so appropriate. Thank you. Carol
Such a great painting and you're such a great teacher. I love how in depth you get with explaining all of this. I feel like I've grown as an artist and I have you to thank you for! So thank you for always posting free tutorials and I can't wait to do this one :)
+Mary Beth Horvath Thank you so much, Mary Beth!
Jane this is one of my favorites and I love it and you are so talented. I watch your videos over and over. I find your method of teaching so relaxing and informative. You have changed my whole life and I now have a passion for painting and I started out with pours and found you and now I feel I can paint and create.
Jane.
Your the best there is for explanations and examples. Please don't stop.

+Denice A. Thank you for wathing, Denice!! :D
Hi Jane, I followed your tutorial to paint this on a 18x24 canvas. I wish I could share it with you to hear your thoughts. Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher.
This is a super subject and idea. I love all your work but this one is a special one and I'm not sure I would be able to do this one but I can try. Thank you again for all you do for us beginners.
Thanks for the blending tutorial part. I especially liked the way you taught that. Helps a lot... thanks
+debbie lemoine Good! I know that some people really struggle with that part. I hadn't planned on going into so much detail with it, but I'm glad I did :)
I love this! Can't wait to paint it.
+Kerrie Quirk Thank you, Kerrie! I can't wait to see :D
Just found you! You are wonderful! Thank you for your teaching and humour 💕
Thank you for showing us your amazing paintings!
+Debbie Terrill Thank you for watching, Debbie!
Jane, Great work again. I like how you worked with the background and kept it developing until you had what you wanted. It was good that you toned down the highlights on the tree. It turned out very well.
Thank you :)
I can't wait to try this.
I love the way you explain step by step..😃
I have started this just now the background is done and I will start the tree tomorrow :) thank you for your tutorials you really are such a great teacher and I feel very proud of what I have achieved so far I couldn't have done it without your fab instruction and I appreciate the time you take to produce these tutorials xxx❤️
+marie armitage Awesome, Marie! I know you'll do great! Thank you for your sweet words
+Pandemonium Art Videos my box of paints is quite substantial now :) I started with yellow purple white and black! 👍😂
Isn't that fun?! :D
+Pandemonium Art Videos it sure is :)
very technical painting. amazing techniques . Thanks for sharing.
You're so welcome, Ayesha. Thank you!
Thank you, Jane, for another wonderful video. I love your tree! I love the flippy aroundy branches very much. And, once again, I find your choice of music to be absolutely wonderful. I am immediately going to go see if I can find the yellow paint video. I hardly ever get on Facebook, but this one sounds like it will be worth it! It made me laugh just to think of you yelling at your painting, you're so chill on your videos, haha! We all have our times don't we, especially when we're passionate about something.
+Beth Arcuri Haha! Yes, I'm chill on the outside. I'm usually screaming "THIS CAN'T ACTUALLY MAKE IT ONTO A VIDEO!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" lol Here's the screaming guy :) th-cam.com/video/pPaEdvCs1C8/w-d-xo.html
beautiful, I love the way all your lessons are so relaxed and laid back.. makes painting so much more enjoyable.. thank you for sharingcheers Mel
+reikibee Thank you, Mel

+Stockbrk 01 Thank you, Garrick! Welcome to painting :D
I'm on this one tomorrow. can't wait.
Have so much fun, Ian!!! :D
I LOVE this painting. And will be so glad to try it. What it means to me is more leaning on the Family side. I am into Ancestry quite a bit. And this makes me think of the Family tree which has so many branches on it ..it is crazy. Also I am into DNA which also represents this tree to me. Also...I love the song played during this one. :D Thank you so much.
+Susan Bishop Thank you, Susan! I'm so glad it has a special meaning to you. I can't wait to see your painting!!

it's awesome jane
iam a 10th std student it's soo help full for me during my school exhibition
I really have to say, personally I dont like the curviness of your tree, but as you said in a much nicer way, I dont have a tree for you to critique. That being said I LOVE HOW DETAILED YOU WERE WITH EXPLAINING THINGS! I subbed the second you zoomed in real close. More people need to show that detail in their vids and I totally commend you for it! I haven't checked out your other vids yet cause I'm writing this lol, but I hope u have a few that r fully up close. If not, I'd love to see one like that. Maybe go through the brushes you use and the techniques you use with them. I know that would help me because I cant find anyone doing it. Anyway much love. Keep the vids coming cause I hot not's on too. ;-)
Because I got not's on too* lol
I love your channel! please make more videos!
+Isis Batrez Thank you, Isis!! I plan on it :D
i love this sooo much ill post it now
+Chamini Jayarathna Perfect!
Inspiradora obra!
+Ivelisse Castillo ¡Muchas gracias!
I'd really like to see a tutorial of the dark forest one on the wall, I like the dark themes. Very good tutorial!
Thank you, Arvena! I did that one. It's my Be the Light video, I just added fireflies on top of it :)
Painting with Jane Oooh, okay. Thank you, I'll check it out!
you have some crazy skills!!! hope one day you can make a painting of a blue bird
Thank you, Alejandra! I'm sure I can do a bluebird sometime :)
I noticed at 53:46 there was sort of a beach scene painting to the left on the wall. Have you done that one yet? And if not do you plan to? I would really like to see that one. Love the tree of life!
Yay!!!! Thank you!
+Sarah Perry Thank YOU!
Jane, do you have a video of how to paint the misty forest painting on the wall above and slightly to the right of this painting? It looks blue and grayish with trees and a vignette? I have searched for it but cannot find it anywhere. I love that painting and would love to paint it. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us!
why are your paintings always related with the trees? but what you did there was amazing. always a great admirer. thank you for the lesson. :) :) :)
+Parash Dhital lol! I know, I paint a lot of trees! I'm trying to mix it up a bit in future videos ;) Thanks for watching!!
Hi Jane I love the way you painted the tree of life it looks awesome. I gave it a go to try and paint it my self. How do I send it to you so you can check it out?
Yes! lol. Thank you
+Charles Nunley :D
Hi Jane!!!! Love it!!! I will post it on your FB page when I m done. Just a thing I wanted to tell you cos you are the expert!!!! A few weeks ago, I saw your video about how to fix canvas, and I have two different results. I use the water, for a new one, that looks just like yours in this video, and it worked great!!! And I tried to fix another one , already painted, and it doesnt work. I think that when the acrylic dries, dont let the canvas to be tight ...I mean, the dry acrylic dont let the whatever material the canvas is made (LOL) to move .... It is just my experience. that make any sense to you?
+Janice Elaine Scarcella Thank you, Janice! Interesting. I wonder if it depends on the thickness of the paint or the type of canvas. I've restretched painted canvases before and been fine. I'm sure it also depends on the degree to which the canvas needs to be shrunk back down. Thanks for your feedback :D
the painting in the background with the moon and trees... can you please do a tutorial on that piece please! thank you. new to your channel. you are great!
I also love the music! what is the name?
Did you prep your canvas before painting
Amazing and very well explained. Thanks. I'm trying :)
Thank you! I would love to see how it turns out :D
Scaring! :) I'm doing it again.
mooshibe How did the first one turn out? :D
When I was trying to the the corners ....well, I mess it up. Today I did all again. I've to practise a lot. I've just begun to paint a month ago. And I don't draw at all :). Thanks for your answer. :)
mooshibe Only a month? Well keep it up!! You're gonna learn so much
Is the picture of the Tree of Life at the end for sale, the one with more detail?
How to you get the paint to "stay" on your brush, for example when painting the tree, when I paint, the black paint runs out from my brush really quickly and I have to dip it in paint again which ruins the smooth flow of the tree branch
Are you using a little bit of water on your brush? Also, make sure you're actually squishing the brush into the paint, don't just dip it. Paint on just the outside edge of the brush isn't going to go far. Check out this video and see if it helps :) th-cam.com/video/OXRQY3OBCT8/w-d-xo.html
Painting with Jane Oh ya i just put it on the outside, thanks
***** You're welcome :)
I would love to share some of my work with you and get your opinion... Do you have a site where I can do this?
+Cyndi Cook Yes ma'am! You can post to my Facebook page or message me there. I'd love to see! facebook.com/PandemoniumArtVideos/
Everytime I try to paint the background, the paints gets fuzzy and I end up up getting white spots and lines in between. Thank you for this lesson.
+Chayan Banerjee Hi Chayan! Sounds like you're working the paint too much. If you brush over the same spot too many times, you actually start to remove paint. Let me know if that helps!
+Painting with Jane Thanks a lot Jane. I have just started painting the Tree of Life and your instruction are clear for a beginner like me.
Chayan Banerjee Good!! :D
Omg! I posted pics of my tree n people want to buy it!
+Shellyz2u Yay, Shelly!!! Congrats :D
+Painting with Jane I'm blown away!
I did it, but messed up the branch part!
do u gesso your canvas
No, only if I'm painting over an old painting.
😢HELP!! Does every canvas have to be prepped?! I can’t get paint to stay sometimes? AND EVEN WITH GLAZE LIQUID AND WATER THE PAINT ( acrylic)WONT GO ON SMOOTH??!! HELP!! I’m going Nuts!!
Where have I heard this music before?
I dunno. It's royalty-free music, so it's possible someone else has used it somewhere. There's always a link in the description to where you can download the music for free :)
It's Gnossienne #1, by French Composer, Erik Satie. He composed about 6 of them, my favorite being #4, closely followed by this one featured in Jane's video. Good choice, Jane!
