ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video, we're gonna get together and paint some black and white trees with a bright red happy tree using an impasto technique. This is a good lesson for beginners and up.
I’m painting on a 16x20-inch stretched canvas, but you can paint on any type and size of canvas you like.
I used:
• A 1-inch flat brush
• A 3/4-inch filbert brush
• A 1/2-inch angle brush
I’m using Liquitex Basics acrylic paint in the following colors:
• Mars Black
• Titanium White
• Cadmium Red Deep Hue
• Naphthol Crimson
• Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue
But you can use any colors you like.

Les toiles sont un vrai plaisir!

Jane - I just want to thank you for helping me pick up my paintbrush again. My depression had gotten the best of me this past year and with your videos you have truly inspired me. This is my form of therapy! Love you!
Aw, Stephanie
thank you Jane for all the inspiration you give an old lady like me , i do love all of your work ....
So love this painting... Will try it soon... My hubby has alzheimers and my time is limited at times... You, Cinnamon, Ginger and Angela are my savories keeping me sane... Can't wait to paint this...Love ya
Aw, Diane
I wish I could do better at trees. I am going to find something without a tree. Thanks so much for these tutorials. I have no artistic ability but it makes me think I do by following along.
The more you paint, Barrie, the better and better you'll get at it. Practice really does go a LONG way! Keep it up11
love your work, god bless x
You explain it so clear and wonderful
Jane you get more and more amazing every week. that pop of red, oh my goodness it really pops. its stunning. thank you Jane for what you do for us. hugs ginxxxxxx
Thank you so much, Gin
Jane, I love your paintings and how easy you make the process!
I really love this painting. I wish I was brave enough to do it on a super large canvas. I can see this hanging in my living room!
Then you should do it!!!! Try it on a smaller canvas, and then do the big one you want! Bravery isn't needed in art. You just have to do it
Thank you for the encouragement! I think trying it on a smaller canvas first is a great idea. Now I'm excited :)
Sara Sharpe
+Painting with Jane Ok, I will send a pic :)
Sara and Jane hope you don't mine me "easel" dropping but as I was scrolling I saw this. Sara I am very new to painting. I was so scared I started the "Walk In The Rain" painting on a 4x4 and and then an 8x10, 11x14 then the 14x20 by time I got to that one I wasn't so nervous~ well maybe I was ;) but I learnt somethings along the way... I think it turned out ...Okay.. Well, my Ex-daughter-in-law loved it and wanted it..I gave it to her. So I may have to paint another that size for me... to go along with this one....which I will practice on an 8x10 or 11x14 first...lol I hope you don't mind my interruption...but if I can do it...anyone(you) can do it!! For me, Jane helps make it easier...
You're a great teacher!

Beautiful Painting Jane!
Thank you, Aaron :)
:) Hey do you have a way I can Email you a photo of a painting im working on. I need some Fresh eyes to tell me where im going wrong cant get something to resolve.
Aaron Miller You can email me, but I don't get to my email very often :/ (pandemoniumartgallery@gmail.com) Are you on Facebook? You can message me a photo and I'd be happy to take a look! Just search for Painting with Jane :D
Sweet I'll be happy to message you on facebook
OK messaged you the pics I actually have two I would like you to look at lol
fantastic. beautiful style
Thank you, Luke :)
you are most welcome. I think I should add start a thing on TH-cam too. share my art. love your work. black and bright colours. I paint similiarly. cheers and vibes
Following now!!!
Yay!!
whisper you are a awesome painter :p
lol, thank you :)
i like merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos
Magnifique j adore !!!
I love using blobs of paint. Would this be a good one to try that sculpture paste on?
Absolutely!!!
Beautiful painting. I would love to try this with yellow instead of red. Would that be ok?
Absolutely!! I think it would look gorgeous! Just don't mix the black with the yellow because you get a weird green color, lol.
I’m getting ready to start this painting but I wanted to tell you that I’m so appreciative of you and the kindness that you’ve shown by free tutorials. I’m so new to your channel and fairly new to TH-cam.
I’m what I’ve always referred to as a “natural” artist as I’m self-taught. I draw, watercolor, I’m new to acrylics and sew. Having these tutorials from you is like gold. Thank you!
Question...if I wanted to make the colored tree in a purple/lavender type color would that work? if so, what colors would you recommend? Thank you! I love following all your videos. You are amazing!
Absolutely! It would look amazing :D I would still use the black, but you could use any purple you like. You'd probably be ok to do the highlights in a purple/white mixture too. I would love to see how it turns out!
Thanks so much! I'm going to try it 😊
heel mooi ga het morgen proberen
Dank u! Veel plezier met schilderen :)
Very nice👍
Thanks, Susanne!
I love it Jane!
Thank you, Cindy!
Oh and I also did something on my own, kind of emulating and using the poppies from your poppy painting. Not quite finished, almost though.
I want to see!!!!
I postd them in the wee hours on your FB page. (Hopefully)
Karen Kelleher I'll go search them out :D
Hi Jane, I love your channel! I have been having a hard time with this one, how are you picking up paint without getting the paint from the other side of the brush in the pile of paint? I just end up with a pile of light grey and dark grey after a few dabs. I have sneaking suspicion that I have no idea how to "load" a paint brush.
Hi can you please tell me how long you waited till u added the highlight. Very beautiful painting...
Thank you! Not very long. All of the paint under it was still quite wet. If you let the first layer dry, then the highlight won't smear into it and blend a little. Just depends on what look you're going for :)
Hi Jane, You're my favorite! Im a beginner and would like to know, is there a rule as to when you should dry your painting?
Aaaw, thank you, Rick! No, not really. I dry my painting whenever I don't want the next color I'm going to use to mix with the previous, but some people paint straight through and let it dry at the end. Whatever you're the most comfortable with :)
Watching the red tree spring to life was so satisfying! :)
Thank you, Socratica friends!! I hope you're doing well
Nadherne, krasne, fantastickeee...
Ďakujem!
Love it! Can do more tree videos please? Thank you
Absolutely love it. Thank you so much. My next project. 👍
Hi Jane! Just wanna let you know that you have an incredibly soothing voice.... watching you working magic on the canvas is a major stress reliever. Thank you for all your gorgeous paintings & can't wait for moreee
Aaaw, thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos
I just finished painting mine while watching you Jane. Thank you so much for the tutorial. My mom liked it.
I'm 272th thumbs up!
It's a lucky number :D
This painting is absolutely beautiful. I can't believe we have the opportunity to learn how to paint this. Jane, thank you so much ... It's amazing
Thank you so much, Sandra!! I'm so glad you like it
I know I speak for many when I say PLEASE HELP us with flowers one video many flowers many techniques . Pls 🙈😳💞♥️💞
Thank you again, Jane. I love your paintings and I am learning so much. I appreciate that you always respond and you teach slowly. It is easy to paint along with you even though I am new to this technique.
Thank you, Maritza!! I'm so glad these videos are helpful for you
Bravo Maestra! your teaching is the epitome of an Art Class ! i have learned so much , you're superb! THANK YOU ! God certainly has Blessed you with such talent, to share with all!
i must say your delivery & presentation is 2nd to none! you have a great presence!
OH! I can't wait to try this one!!. I've been painting the cardinal...l mehh not so swell-I'll go back to it some other time. This will go with the Walk In The Rain one(s) I painted. The 14x20 went to Iowa with my ex-daughter-in-law... after it was done I really wanted to keep it but she really wanted it. OH... I also love the soothing/calming music just the right volume too. It helps with the tenseness I get...lol I did look up the screaming at the yellow paint vid...ummh yeah I may need that for the cardinal painting...bahahahaha.... Thanks so much Jane!
~~MM~~
lol, Marie! Yelling at the yellow is always helpful!!! I can't wait to see what you paint :D
Thanks so much! What a wonderful painting!
I have a question. Your paint looks very shiny and liquidy and my acrylic paint doesn't look like that.
is it the type of paint that you're using or are you adding a gel medium to it? Or is it water? I am just a beginner and I want to get that look of wet and shiny on my canvas. Also did you put gesso on your canvas? Thank you very much!
care bedford HARD BODY ACRYLICS DRY KINDA SHINEY OR SOMETIMES CALLED HEAVY BODIED! I THINK THEY'RE THE SAME !!
I want to request to do a mermaid! Or the black silhouette of Ariel and Eric on the boat. Maybe do a Disney series? I love your videos.
I love love love this painting and I did it recently. Sadly, my paints mix too much, lol. I'll work on that.
What a brilliant piece. This one and the red girl in the rain both hold the same stark contrast I find to be beautiful. I'm trying to upgrade my paints slowly (so I can afford it) which means I can only pick and choose a few at a time. I don't know what paintings I'll do next so I can't go off of that. What do you suggest? Definitely titanium white and mars black. I think maybe cadmium red, pthalo blue, yellow ochre... wow, there are too many XD
lol! Yes, there's so many colors, it can be hard to choose. If you're only going to start with a few, I think the colors you listed are a great place to start. However, if you can get a coupon to your craft store, the Liquitex 48 pack is another awesome way to start for a good price! Then you can just replace the ones you run out of with the larger tubes :)
You teach me so much jane.thankyou .IAM going to paint this happy tree yes and I shall put it on your page
What if I used a green and white in background
I think it would be beautiful!!
i had so much fun trying this one and it came out amazing! i have watched a few of your videos now and have painted along with you...thank you for all that you do.
You're so welcome, Samara, and thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and love your painting ♥
Really liked this.. u have a new sub 🙂
Thank you!
Dieses Motiv ist ganz wunderbar.
Vielen Dank!
Love your clear simple instruction ! Simple list of supplies ! Thank You. I will probably use this technique for roses !
Thank you, Lynn! Think this would make lovely roses :D
Love this one!! Can u do abstract flowers at some point? Because I do mixed media all my abstracts end up being backgrounds
Yep, we'll do some abstract flowers sometime :) Thanks, Kelly!
!!!
I did this one as a gift for my adult daughter. it is possibly one of my favorites. thank you so much!
Aaaw, Dawn, what a lovely gift! Thank you so much
I discovered your channel when I was looking for tutorial. I'm so grateful that I found you. I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks. I made a few of the Happy Tree for friends as thank you gift. Thanks for a great videos.
You're so welcome, Cristyn! Thank you so much!!
WONDERFULLLLLL....I love your work.. from Argentina I see you.... Im paiting this one and anothers...
Wonderful!! Thank you so much, Mariel
Jane, Your such a Beautiful inspirational, down to earth soul, Thankyou so much for your patient, Awesome tutorials!
Namaste
Aaaw, thank you so much, Cathy
😊thanks a lot will give it a try this weekend😊 I love the composition so much🎉
I did this tonight --- my first at my home, but my 10th guided painting.
Besides being a wonderful artist, you are a great teacher. Thank you for your time and efforts. Big hugs!
Aaw, Sonia, thank you so much! That means a lot to me, friend
Jane, this painting is beautiful. I'm more experienced with Tole painting. Not a lot of experience with canvas painting. So my problem is that the brushes I have are for Tole painting. When I try to use them, they tend to be a bit too soft for canvas painting. Can you recommend a set (name brand) of brushes for a beginner?
Hi Debra! Unfortunately, I don't use name brand brushes. But in your craft store, there are tons of brushes specifically made for acrylic painting on canvas with the artist paints, not where the craft paints are. Pick up a pack or two of a variety of brushes to start with. I'll be doing a vlog on brushes later this week that I hope will help.
At first I thought "what the heck"....."don't think I'll do this one"....but then as I watched the video through as I normally do before starting to paint...I could see the trees coming to life and getting excited now to paint my own version....really nice job Jane as usual....and darn you make it looks so easy, I'm expecting a bit of frustration as I see I'll need to be careful to clump not blend...lol thanks..
LOL, Jan!!! Yeah, that big black scribble makes it look like I have no idea what I'm doing, doesn't it, haha! I'm glad you're excited to paint it now!!! And don't get frustrated! Just try different things if what I'm showing you isn't working
Love Love Love..absolutely gorgeous 😀..gonna try these using a palette knife and a spatula. Thank you
Yay!!! Have so much fun, Tiff!! :D
I think your videos are really good I find it easy to understand
Would you recommend coating the canvas with just flow medium to help spread the paint?
What about wetting the canvas? Or would you recommend wetting the brush with a water to medium mixture to help spread the paint?
You could do any of those things! Whatever works best for you. I didn't wet the canvas at all before I stared, but I do use water on my brush.
Hi Jane, I love the way you teach. You make it round so simple. and it's really easy to follow. I was wondering if you could teach the painting of colorful faces. I saw a few vedio on TH-cam. It's so colourful and would love to learn from you.
Thank you, Teena
Fabulous! 💕thank you so much for spending your time on teaching these techniques! This was a fascinating watch and I learned a lot. 💜
I see this, I am thinking Schindler's List. Whether it is intended or not, in my -quite often- humbled opinion your work has a lot of "noir" in it. It works. Its great. Thank you for sharing.
I know what part you're talking about. And thank you! I do love darker and moodier images :)
I love the impasto technique, Jane. Did you use a gel medium to thicken the paint? Also, since you do such lovely impressionistic work, have you heard of a painter named Paul Crimi, at paulcrimifinearts.com? He does some interesting work with birch trees. I found him on youtube, and recommend him to you, as you both have similar style. His gallery on his website is inspiring. Thanks again for all you do for us.
Thank you, Priscilla! No, I didn't use any mediums. Just lots of paint :) I'll check him out. Thank you!!
I don't have Facebook, but I do have email
And thank you for all the great videos
I haven't watched the full video yet, but maybe I'll use some of my extra heavy gel medium on this one. Love it!
Ooooh, excellent idea, Kathleen!
I am new to painting with acrylics very good videos and I now follow you on facebook and will share my work with you. love you style of teaching
Thank you, Natasha! I can't wait to see :)
Nice painting! Love black/white/red ! Music was beautiful but to loud
Oh no, was it too loud? I'm sorry. I tried to keep it pretty low.
love the lesson... you make everything look so easy ... going to do this today - canvass is ready but much bigger ... anyway have a nice day x
Awesome!! Thank you, Kul! I can't wait to see :D
I am literally just going to start and do my first painting and this is the one Im going to try and do.You inspired me so much with your beautiful art works.Thank you Jane...😊💐
This painting was so much fun to do. I'm very happy with my happy trees. I used a smaller filbert for the black and white trees and a larger one for my happy tree. You are the bomb diggity, Mrs. Jane! Thank you so much for sharing your talent in art and teaching.
Thank you, Marta!! That sounds awesome! I would love to see how it turned out. If you're on Facebook, you should join our group :D facebook.com/groups/ArtMonsterSquad

Marta Blackwell Woohoo!!! I wasn't around much yesterday, but I'll get in there after filming this afternoon. And after I posted the link, I thought, "duh, Marta's in the group, you dork!" lol, sometimes I should think before I type ;)
Hahaha, no worries, lovely. I understand. You are so super busy. Just remember you breathe. 😉🎨😉🎨
I wish I’d found you sooner! Your tutorial style is exactly what I was hoping for in a creator.
Wow. This is so beautiful. Love it. I love the contrast between black and red.
