Acrylic Painting Free & Loose with Jane Slivka

[@TeresaFairchild]

😮 Gorgeous Jane! Thank you Jane and Jane! ❤😊

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Our pleasure!

[@fishmut]

I really love the loose free painting style Jane , sometimes I paint like the tutorial because I want to see and feel what your thinking or why you did certain colours in a way to get the free look your trying to get in a painting , it also helps me see where I can go on my own when I try a painting a subject etc , have to say my inner child comes out and it looks it to lol. I’m always excited to watch your paintings , your colours you choose blows my mind they look lovely bright and happy . 🙏

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

[@antoinettesalamone4338]

My fave artist extraordinaire ! Thank you ! If I could paint a fraction as good as you, I probably wouldn't ever want to leave the easel ! Haha. I want to visit too. I am in fort Myers

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Wow, thank you! Just call before you plan on coming so i will be sure to be at the studio.

[@annrubino6252]

So generous of you to explain clearly while you demo your style. You are indeed inspiring, especially to acrylic painters.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you so much for your comment.

[@lalithakrishnamurthy9663]

I was feeling out of sorts and at that moment your channel pop up immediately my sadness disappeared in its place I wondered about your colour palette and started getting involved with your painting process 🎉 thank you for sharing this beautiful video!

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

You are so welcome! Here is a link to my website where I share a list of paints that are often in my palette. I am adding light blue violet and raw sienna that should be added to the list. janeslivkagallery.com/shop

[@kmp3169]

Jane, I’m obsessed with watching your videos. Your loose style is so enviable. I just tried doing a house but of course immediately got hung up on how to make the house look like it had shake siding. An illusion you’d probably say but I don’t know how to get that illusion. I also realize that I’m so hung up on using the colors that I see in the photo instead of what might make the painting more painterly. Would love to see you tackle a house/cottage with shakes. I wish you’d come to Savannah for a workshop! Thanks for your great videos.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you for your comment and for your house/cottage with shakes suggestion. A workshop in Savannah sounds interesting. Hmmm,

[@constance9789]

Love the colors and loose free feeling

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

[@brandonmagnus4414]

I love the little sail boats that you suggest! Beautiful painting as usual

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thanks!

[@pjbk3838]

Love your painting style! Are you cleaning your brush each time you change colors or are you leaving colors in to mix on the brush? I think the person asking to see the tweeks, is not to copy but the little ones can make all the difference and we want to learn. Thank you for all your time! Gorgeous

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I clean my brush between colors.

[@susandoyle3707]

Merci beaucoup pour votre adorable commentaire. Je l'apprécie!

[@jennyforeman4844]

BeautidulmJane, so simple but effective. What thickness of canvas do you prefer.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you! Standard canvases come basically in two sizes: thin and thick. The thicker one is approximately 2.5 inches. I tend to use the thicker canvas. If you want to frame the painting, use the thinner canvas.

[@jennyforeman4844]

Thank you Jane I do the same. I was. Curious 😊

[@Chericherry4]

I almost never watch painting tutorials all the way through. This was fun but still informative!

[@nildacruz3521]

I love the painting, it looks like water colors. Love the way you teach your audience. Thank you

[@CurtisEaby]

One of my favorites.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thanks so much!

[@PaintingandExercise]

I like your style of painting. For me, I will strive to be much more loose like you are but still lean towards a little more in the middle of the guardrails.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you. Have fun and embrace the painting process. Go off the rails a few times and see what happens.

[@landaarthur2536]

So happy I found you, I’m beginning acrylic painting and love your techniques.

[@lizettemarais6892]

I love your style. Maybe I missed it, but with which color did you primed your canvas?

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

I use a student grade cadmium orange light or cadmium red light. But anything that gives the canvas an orange, red or orange and red combined works.

[@graciethebluejay]

Incredible and fun.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

So glad, and thank you!

[@lisafroment856]

I love the painting. I’m wondering if you are using an open medium to keep it so wet and loose or a lot of water? I am hesitant with acrylics because they drive so quickly, but you’re a saint we really juicy for a long period of time.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

No, I just use a lot of water and paint.

[@tessakang6396]

Beautiful. Love the loose and free. How do you deal with the acrylic dry dark? Thanks!

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

I am so used to painting with acrylics.and am not that aware of a huge value change. I do know the paint absorbs as it dries and changes, but I just to to go with it.

[@marshmanmusic]

Hi, I’m a painter out of Lakewood Ranch/ Sarasota. Would love to meet you. Great stuff! Marshall

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

You can always email me at JaneSlivkaGallery.com and set up a meeting at my gallery in Mount Dora.

[@raimundononatobarbosaalves461]

I'm learning with acrylics and I would like to know how to keep the paint moist, how do you do it?

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

I like to use a Masterson Sta-Wet Palette that comes with a sealed cover. Throughout the day, I mist/spray my palette with water. At night when I leave my studio, I give the palette a good misting, seal it with a cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.

[@nadifouldi3131]

[@pamcofer9924]

Love it. Do you ever use complimentary colors to mix neutrals?

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Yes when I try to go for a neutral color, I use a combination of warm and cool colors. For example, my favorite gray is a combination of warm siennas and cool blues.

[@pamcofer9924]

@@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133 Thank you! I've been a computer artist for over 30 years and trying to paint for 6. My struggle now is the color mixing. Watching you paint quickly and without overthinking is encouraging!

Bonjour Mme Je viens de découvrir vos vidéos et j’apprécie énormément votre travail et vos précieux conseils . Pourriez vous m’indiquer la marque de votre peinture acrylique ? En vous remerciant .

@@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133 Bonsoir , je vous remercie pour votre réponse à ma question . Vivement la prochaine vidéo afin d’admirer votre talent. Cordialement

[@FaraH-cl8bk]

Merci beaucoup pour votre partage. Magnifique ! Pourquoi choisir toujours la même couleur de fond ? Dommage que la traduction n'est pas tout au long de la vidéo pour les explications. Agréable week-end

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Merci pour votre commentaire. Je prépare toujours ma toile en la peignant en rouge ou en orange et en la laissant sécher complètement. Personnellement, je n’aime pas commencer ma peinture sur une toile blanche et unie. C'est intimidant. De plus, j'ai tendance à peindre dans des tons de couleurs plus froides et j'aime la façon dont des morceaux de rouge ou d'orange restent dans ma peinture, la faisant éclater et donnant plus de vie à la peinture finie.

[@FaraH-cl8bk]

Merci Je comprends 😊❤

@@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133 one more question. Are u painting so often that all that left over paint isn’t an issue, and or how long does the paint stay workable in that palate? Thx!

Can I know more about the Akron artists and St. Michaels? Is it an Akron painters group (I’m from Akron) and where is St. Michaels?

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

St. Michael's is located in Maryland. The Akron artists was a group of friends that I met an an art league in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

Why don’t you put the size of panel, colors, brush or other equipment for the painting, so we don’t have to keep rewinding the video? Please

If you’re that concerned about the brushes you’re probably hopeless anyway haha jk but seriously just listen to her when she says, it’s not that big of a deal just paint and enjoy the process??
