[@Nancy-ii5yo]

Wow! I love the impressionist painting style. Beautiful!

[@pamelabritton1230]

I am watching this while I'm painting something else. This is my favorite painting, I think, along with the Tying Up marine piece. I love to hover over the progress bar further along to get a peek at it a little down the line. It's exciting to see what it will become as it progresses!

[@mariafitzgerald2895]

A fantastic colorful autumn scene painting with reflections of trees,sky, rocks and grasses. So realistic looking, I feel like I am there looking into the stream seeing this all in person. Very nice painting, David!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much 😀 Love your comments!!!

[@bonitahowell3340]

Nature is so beautiful.I love the way you capture it.

[@kelsey59]

Thank you for your lessons. I have learned so much from them and they have given me such inspiration that I think I can actually become a painter (and not just the walls in the house). :)

[@JansenArtEducation]

You are so welcome! Thank you for the support! Better get some more video done!!! 😀

[@Azag514]

[@thomaslennox8859]

Exceptional communication of your techniques David; so nicely shared with us. You really DO share all your secrets. Thank you so very much.. what a positive inspiration!

[@JansenArtEducation]

My pleasure Thomas! Yes, I like everyone to create wonderful paintings. Teaching is my thing. Thank you! 😃

[@kimmoreno8985]

This is a Stunning painting you have created for us beginners,Thank you David!! I The tip about saving your pallette after is so great.I am definately going to try this landscape.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Wonderful! Yes, saving the palettes are great because you can refer back to them and if you mount them on matte board they look great in your studio!

[@tamaeas]

Beautiful ! The reflection on the water surface is amazing! You use 6 colors mixed together, so the whole harmony is very nice. I think the concept of Paint It Simply is great. I learned how to subtly change the color. Thank you for sharing this lesson. Finally, I was impressed by the activity of the kitchen paper. I thought it did a good job.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much! I just posted another water one. More coming!

[@sheilapye5317]

I had a really great time following along with you David. Love all those beautiful fall colors. Thank you for sharing your expertise so graciously! I'm enjoying this 6 color palette learning.

[@homayounazarnoush5699]

So beautiful thank you very much.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you! 😃

[@jerilychristine1909]

Wow! Thank you..I have been watching you paint roses..since I discovered your channel..but learned a ton more watching the landscape! I find it very helpful to see your palette as you progress…and now have realized my mistake of not mixing colors on top of what is already on the palette! I had many little mixing piles..and used up an entire Palette sheet before finishing a painting..plus your way ..I see will incorporate the colors. I love the limited palette…and have purchased your basic set!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much Jerily. We appreciate the support!

[@lisecardinal3879]

I really love your little secrets there Dave ! 👍❤️🤩🥰😍💯 😛

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you!

[@lauriebohon1836]

Thanks David - so much to learn! This lesson is just what I needed for Fall colors! Going back to a limited palette is a great idea!

[@JansenArtEducation]

You are so welcome! Yes, I am having some fun returning to the limited palette. Makes you think more about the tone!

[@coramuller6065]

👋Hi David, I will have to watch this video tomorrow, but I am already giving you all my thumbs up. You've found a beautiful subject, and the excellent artist that you are, you've turned it into an exquisite landscape painting that has absolutely nothing to hide behind. Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to it. 👍👍👍💖

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thanks so much Cora. Enjoy the video. It is a fun painting!

This painting reminds me of one by Frederick Remington

[@annanorth7997]

I so appreciate the indepth explanation about water and reflection. I've been painting less than a year, and have struggled with reflection. I use canvas board since it's cheaper. I love the canvas texture for mountains and grasses, but my brush drags when I try to blur water. I will add extender and practice your technique.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Yes that can be a pain with the canvas. What I do is to blur with my finger after dragging over the canvas. Helps work the color into the weave for a softer effect.

[@davidinger961]

Wow that looks like a peder mork monsted painting one of my favorite artists now you !

[@mona2242]

Great pedagogy, clear and passionate . Thx, now what would I do different in painting this in oils especially when it comes to the water reflections ? Thanks again!

[@JansenArtEducation]

I don't use oils any longer. Sorry.

[@antonellab6305]

Spettacolare 👏👏😃

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thanks!

[@40bdg]

Great tutorial and a beautiful painting! Question, just curious why you add the vertical movement with a paper towel as opposed to just painting it in with your brush as you apply the paint?

[@JansenArtEducation]

Just because it is a different type of mark. I use the painting knife, brush and paper towel. Being a left brained painter, I sometimes repeat marks, so using a paper towel always give me different marks.

[@aaelborollosy]

brilliant

[@azitaghalichiha9054]

❤💐💐👍👌

[@pamelabritton1230]

Towards the end you stated a rule about the focus point and the background (having to do with colors, I think), close to the 1 hr. 24 min. mark. I tried to understand what you were saying. Would you mind restating that rule in writing for me? I appreciate it; I know it was very important!

[@kdj.imagery4317]

Firstly, let me say a grateful thank you for buying reference photos from Adobe Stock. I sell my imagery on there and as of now it's the only site I'm doing any good with! I have a question about the brush you blend the reflections in the water with. A know it's a soft brush but do you clean it between uses? Or rather how often do you have too before the paint starts too build up in it? Cheers!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Of course, artists supporting artists. That is how I look at it. About cleaning... Most acrylics binders are alcohol sensitive so even when dry you can still remove the paint. You will notice in some of my videos I do show this. Use hand sanitizer, at least 60% isopropyl alcohol and it will remove any acrylic build up. I do rinse and sometimes soap and water my brushes after use. When I am rushed or do forget, I just use hand santizer and work through the brush. It removes the buildup. Do not soak your brush in alcohol as over time, that could soften any glue in the brush. Hope that helps.

[@Malibu_Man]

I cannot find your paints anywhere. On your Amazon there are only three colors. Have you given up selling your paints? I can’t even find your basic six color set anywhere.

[@JansenArtEducation]

We have everything is stock, it is a time delay in Amazon right now. We restock Amazon constantly but it take time for their store to update. You can always order directly from our studio. We are shipping right now from Pennsylvania and Nebraska. Everything is in stock. Just email us at [e-mail] we normally ship same day.

[@Malibu_Man]

@@JansenArtEducation Thank you so much. I am making the transition from hyper-realism with pencil and pen to painting, and it is a bold jump. I have the eye for the spontaneous, what you call "interesting", those breaks and oddities in work that add accidental detail to something like trees and clouds __ there really should be a name for it -- and I have the "eye". But since I have only heretofore been a pencil, charcoal and ink pen artist (with some sculpting thrown in for good measure), I am fast discovering that painting and the use of color is a beast of an entirely different nature. My biggest issue is mixing the color to the right tone and vibrancy I know about happy accidents and working within a stream of consciousness. It is the COLOR that is giving me the most trouble. I am always telling myself that i need to just take a while to practice mixing, until I can see a color and know immediately what pigments to blend together to make that color. But I am one of those guys who wants to PAINT RIGHT NOW, without taking the time to LEARN....it's a blessing and a curse of mine. At any rate, I have been dabbling in oils and acrylics, and my preference and first love is the choppy impressionist feel of the painting knife. I want to be a painting knife artist, since that is the style of painting that moves me the most. And since discovering you about a week ago, I am finally feeling a bit more confident in my approach. All this being said, after reading this long missive, any suggestions? One day I want to be a painting knife impasto artist. I simply love that kind of impressionism, and the knifing you do. Thanks for responding. You are a good and decent man.
