Painting Sand Dunes in Acrylics

[@aguptill1]

I’m moving away from detailed painting to a more loose style ❗️Your technique is invaluable to me right now. Thank you SO much, GRAMMY G from 🇨🇦😊

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

You are so welcome!

[@aimingforjesus5346]

Hey Jane, I thank i am in love :) - i am an old guy who has just been painting a year (i began in response to alzheimer's diagnosis) and I have wanted to paint the style you use but I never could figure out how to loosen up - I watched one video and I was sold, of course I will watch many more. Thank you. You do such a great job and your freedom is so encouraging to me - thank you, God bless you in your work Hollis

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

So wonderful to read your comment. Thank you for watching and posting!

[@kerryfisher2596]

Jane your paintings are like a breath of fresh air. I'm so glad I found you... looking for a new fresh painting vibe. I love learning your techniques. Have a happy day!

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you so much for your comment.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Yes!

[@Opinionated363]

Love it.Would be nice to show us the final painting.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@dianecourtney2724]

Your hair color is fabulous …… oh and thanks for the great painting lesson 😂✌🏼

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you, and I am sharing your comment with my hair stylist.

[@mariek.2290]

Jane, your advice is always so encouraging. I have had people in my art group asking about the red background, and the “instructor” even tried to discourage me from that method. I told her that I had been doing it for many of my paintings, and I was very happy with the results. Watching your videos and taking your class has helped my confidence in my painting.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you so much for your feedback, and I am glad this style is working for you. Enjoy and have fun!

[@leannebraden8711]

Yes. I agree with you on the red background. I really like the light pops of it in the final painting. Your art should be an expression of what you like. That’s what makes each artist unique. Use paint in a way that’s pleasing to you! 😊

[@homayounazarnoush5699]

Very bold and effective brushstrokes that show your experience and confidence.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Живописные яркие цвета .. дополняют друг друга !! Многие стремятся к реализму...но такой полуабстрактный стиль намного лучше !! Невероятно красивый стилль и красивое письмо ! Мне очень нравится ваш формат.. съемки и огромный формат ваших картин ...Как вы легко инраете кистью...Еще мне просто поразил ваш розово оранжевый фон ...Это нечто....Картина будто обрамлена розовым 😊❤❤❤❤❤бриллиантом ...Очень очень красиво...я в восторге ..стояла и смотрела ...не могла оторваться от ваших работ !!

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

You are so welcome!

[@mizllen]

[@LloydM100]

A Big 'Hello' from New Zealand. Love your teacing. I'm 66 years old (male) and never painted anything ever. It's my goal this year to start on art.

[@Milania717]

@LloydM100 hi!! That’s great your going to start painting- may I suggest to have a look at kevinoilpainting channel- (paint with Kevin)- I started out with learning from him when he first started- his older videos are easier and nicer- also he has download lessons available- techniques series is great- I always refer back to them- and the landscape are so worth it- Also- for learning- I focused on one or two painters- then as you develop your own signature brushstrokes- watching other painters always can pick up tips here and there- Another channel- acrylic- is Correa art and art of John Magne Lisandro- Not sure if your acrylic or oils- I can tell you- acrylic paints are much more difficult- people don’t understand this- like watercolor is for Masters- Many struggle and never really achieve their potential yet stick with acrylic because there’s a misconception about oils - Paint with Kevin posts videos on both oils and acrylic- He also oil paints (non toxic) No thinner- I use Linseed oil- to thin paint only when blocking in- the underpainting- a dash- and not all the times- with landscape no need to- florals yes- Best of fun too you- if you have any questions- comment and I’ll be happy to help- If your interested in books- on oil painting- seascape and landscape- Carlson landscape Helen Van Wyk (she has few books can be found low price- at times the books will go sky hi- and then back down low- you can find for 10dollars is good price- Her book on (Color recipes) hard copy - again she has a few of them- I have all of her books- But the one with - a pic of a palette on cover with paint- is good- And if your interested in seascape- beat is books by E. John Robinson- again he has 4 books- the very first one from - and the last one he published are the best and (many think they’re the same- not) the first one has wonderful step by step- and close up- everything one needs to know painting the ocean- These books also fluctuate in price from 10-150.00 dollars They are priced low now- Amazon- eBay- usually can find them and there’s a thrift book store online as well- again the prices change a lot- Feel free to message me if you have any questions- enjoy your painting journey- Again- acrylic paints are not fun and difficult- many think they are cheaper and that’s not true- Good oils- Windsor and Newton- (Winton ) brand are good and priced low- needs linseed to thin them- at times depending if your painting wet on wet- Alla Prima So many keep practicing and painting with acrylic and takes years before they can really achieve something that looks presentable- Bob Ross oils are great and his brushes are best- and canvases- I’ve became a brush hoarder have most every brand- but the Ross are the best- And his canvases- Canvas surface also makes a difference depending on using oils and or acrylic paints- and for landscape a medium texture- for oils Remember- acrylic paints will become darker when they dry- they say mix a value under- a tad lighter than what should be-

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Go for it and best of luck!

I am also really loving your loose abstract style. It is so fun. It would be great if you had a way to download the finish painting so we can look at it for a reference. For now I am taking a screen shot of the end result. Thank you!

[@dianekhamilton]

Question: what do you call your style of painting? It’s not really realism but not exactly abstract either. I love it!

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you! i call it interpretive realism.

[@kelliecox-riede7432]

I would liken her style to Monet’s impressionism. He was the first to use color, instead of black, as shadows.

[@brandonmagnus4414]

Simple and beautiful. I’m curious if you’ve written any art books or if that’s something you’d ever be interested in. You always give great tidbits of advice in these videos, including innovative ideas for creating a painting, so my idea would be to compile all those ideas in an illustrative format in some kind of art teaching book. I imagine writing a book wouldn’t be a walk in the park, but could feel invigorating. Cheers.

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Hmmm. I will have to give your suggestion some thought. Thank you.

[@carolynavalos5415]

Another WONDERFUL video. I'm always so excited to see a new one also!!!! But, oh no! I ordered a bunch of paints from Liquitex but I got Basics. Now I just heard that I should have purchased Heavy Body. Oh, well . . . .

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you so much for your comment. By the way, It is fine to use the student grade paint, and it's very good to use as a base.Use it up; it is not that bad. I use it sometimes to cover larger areas.

Muchas gracias! Me gusta usar luz roja cadmio o naranja cadmio o mezclar el rojo cadmio y el naranja.

[@gildafiorentinobarrera9103]

Le da un efecto muy luminoso. Me gustó mucho. Gracias x responder.

[@villasatcottonranch539]

I'm a beginner trying to find my style, i think I've found it, thank you! There's one painting that i have done that really resonates with me, , its this one! I'm trying to figure out why. I'm pretty sure its the red underpainting. it just sets itself apart from all my others. I purchased your video /tutorial and it was great, thanks... and keep them coming, they really help me.Question..when do you use orange as an underpainting vs red? and does this red/orange under painting technique really only work with negative painting ?

[@freedomofacrylicswithartis5133]

Thank you so much for your feedback. I appreciate it. It does not make a difference to me whether I paint the canvas orange or red or mix orange and red together. even if I weren’t negative painting, I would still paint the canvas orange or red.

You can mix some black with the regular hookers green to mimic the hookers green deep. Enjoy painting with your daughter this weekend and have fun!
