Love your loose abstract mood. This would be nice in knife pallette...Love the Sea & boats. My Dad was an advent Fisherman...He loved fishing & just sitting by The Pier ..& drink a beer. Lol. Missing our Faithfully departed.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you and thank you for commenting. I am glad that this painting brought up sweet memories of your dad.

[@XVAJ2024]

I love your tutorials so much. I have been struggling for years to create paintings that "pop" like yours. After watching this, I am ready to paint alllll day long. So easy to follow and you make it so comprehensible. Would love to join an online painting class once! Thank you, Jane!

Very nice. Really pretty even at the end of the video, before you tweaked it. But I really like the changes in color that you did to the sailboat

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you for watching and for your feedback. Appreciated.

[@irenegarcia7356]

We. Live right by The Sea. Life size models ..yes. just take a few pics. So relaxing

[@grandmabarby]

Great video! I love your style. Do you ever do any winter paintings? I mean winter as in snow? LOL

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

I haven't done a winter themed painting, but I would like to try one sometime.

[@maggiemae6867]

I love this!!

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you!

[@davescupper5789]

I love that you negative paint. Does that come from when you did watercolours?.you carried on with the technique in to acrylics?😊

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Yes, my watercolor background did influence my negative painting.

[@debbiesheridan3334]

Have to try this. Wow xx gorgeous❤

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Hope you try it and have fun with it. Thanks for commenting.

[@trineogerling1212]

Awesome tutorial...

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting.

[@katalindejong8388]

So pretty

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

I appreciate that. Thank you!

[@LetsPaintwithViolet]

Awesome! I have watched quite a few of your videos and so glad I found you. May I ask, why the red background?

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you for watching! Appreciated. First, I hate painting on a white canvas. It's intimidating. Second, I tend to use cooler colors when I paint, and I love how the warmth of the red and orange colors pop out in the painting. It is a wonderful contrast with the cooler tones.

[@swapneelswami7925]

Hi Jane❤ Who is that behind the camera person. Plz show her in your video so we can see her. 😂😊 she has a beautiful voice so have her in the video sometime. If possible 😅 love your art style ❤

[@davescupper5789]

She is shy i think😊

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

I like to be in front of the camera, and Jane likes to be behind the camera.

[@adshedsyd]

very clever Jane opens up a few horizons for beginers like me. How bout a landscape

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you for your comment and for your suggestion. Appreciated!

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you!

[@carolynducan1765]

❤ just love your loose style of painting. I’ve been trying to find someone to teach me how to loosen up when I paint- and I think you’re it!! I like your painterly approach rather than realistic style. Are your classes online or must we come in person?Where can I find information?…. Would be so helpful if you could list the names of the acrylic color you use - and not it they’re transparent or opaque. Also, which brushes do you use. Thanks so much for sharing you skills and knowledge to create our own beautiful Works of art!! 🥰🥹

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you so much. Just go to my website, JaneSlivkaGallery.com. You will find my list of my upcoming workshops. On the "shop" page you will see my favorite brushes listed and my basic list of acrylic paints that I use. There are ten classes for purchase for $25 per class. You download it and watch and rewatch at your pace. Have fun and enjoy.

[@irenegarcia7356]

Yes I do get kinda " Muddy " effect. Trying to blend colors. I think you got to allow dry time in between..Thks again

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

You are right!

[@gwenritch]

I love watching you paint but the sound on the videos are lacking. Is there a way to wear a mic? Thanks for the wonderful demos

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you for your feedback, and we are working on getting a better sound system.

[@irenegarcia7356]

Foamy waves also ..are the white

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Yes they are.

[@irenegarcia7356]

Sometimes. " Drip" problems are too much water 💧. Right??

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Absolutely. I had over sprayed my paints with water the day I painted this painting.

[@Allie-ck2lj]

I don't see a link to your website and lessons to purchase.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

The link to my website where I sell classes is JaneSlivkaGallery.com/shop. Thank you for letting me know. I will the info to the description.
