How to Paint a Beginning Rose with Acrylics- Half Tone Technique

[@catherinerogers3395]

I've always wanted to paint. I'm 72 years old, and you are the first person who has convinced me I can do it. Just need to practice and take my time. Thank you for sharing your gift. God bless and keep you. ❤🙏

[@scoodledeewa]

David you are the best teacher- EVER! Thank you for another great lesson.

[@136m]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this step-by-step lesson on the tons, values, and mixing!!!! I needed this lesson like air to breathe! Keep up the good work David!

[@whitneywetherill9587]

Thanks so much for splitting this off. I’m a fan of all your work, but my basic interest is the brushwork in your flowers. I can always go back to the western scenes and that sort of thing, but I find the techniques you teach for still life and flower work are simply (keyword) awesome! So thank you, David, I disappeared and now I’m back.

[@kimmoreno8985]

Everytime you say we can learn to paint your roses you give me inspiration, and hope, I believe I can, thankyou David, love this so much

[@TracyHarvey-ki3vt]

I just found your channel. I was accepted in art school but decided to get a business degree instead. 25 years later, I'm following my heart and learning to paint by watching tutorials. Your instructions are simple and wonderfully positive! I just subscribed. Thank you so much, and I look forward to further tutorials 😊

[@HB-rn5bi]

Thank you so much for this channel and the time you are taking to teach new painters, of which I am one.

[@JV-pj7dz]

Hi David! Expanding to help beginning painters is a wonderful idea! Painting is marvelous for so many reasons. For me -- when I’m painting along with a rose lesson -- I lose track of all the cares of the day because I’m concentrating on my brush, the exquisite colors you teach us to mix - and of course - all those pretty, pretty roses! It’s a relaxed feeling to paint -- and just plain exhilarating to see a creation - no matter how simple! I subscribed to your Paint it Simply Channel a couple of years ago - and I’ll be visiting there lots more from now on. Best regards to all -- JV

[@TheElysianPath]

paininting keeps you in the moment! painting in your consciousness. no past thoughts, no future thoughts..just the present!

[@1969kellyp]

I love your paintings and have been watching your videos for a while. Sometimes I can do a fair job on my paintings but do get frustrated. Thanks for your encouraging words.

[@happy.homestead]

Very informative and helpful! I learned a great deal from you today. I've painted for many years, but have never been happy with my roses. The way you broke your methods down made it simple and clear to understand. Now, I just have to do it, too! Thank you, David.

[@ilonagruwell3730]

Thank you for taking the time to teach us beginners. I am one of them. I started about three months ago and have already learned a lot from you. I love your painting ❤

[@teraperry1008]

I joined 1 because every video I watch of yours I learn 2 because I need to always refresh my tool box ( my brain) on how to paint or draw anything! 3 because I believe I constantly need to learn. You are the best teacher 😊🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@JV-pj7dz]

Yes! Refreshing the toolbox. So true!

[@fatimaguvenc831]

David you are an amazing EDUCATOR. Thank you very much for being very generous 💚

[@janetyler5573]

I love learning from you. Learning to paint at 83. God richly bless you. ❤

[@beastanley9247]

David , you are my hero. You have turned me onto painting with acrylics and I love it. Love your technique of turning paintings into beautiful pieces.

[@suzannemarieca7164]

This is such a great starter video, David! Just love how you transition styles from romantic to realistic with toning, simple brush strokes and finger smudges. Can't wait for more! Thank you and God bless!

[@pattycandle3596]

Hello from France! A big thank you for this video ! Your explanations are so easy to understand ! I can’t wait to see more of them !

[@MrsBooklover55]

You have made it possible for all of us who can't afford art school, to learn to paint! Thanks for sharing your talents and education. Thank you!

[@teraperry1008]

I'm super excited for more lessons! On both channels! 😊🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@TheKenaiKrafter]

You have inspired me to paint this rose with you! Thank you and I’m excited for this series for beginners.

[@Lojay_5]

You are a good teacher thank you for that dreamy Rose demonstration. I love it.

[@homayounazarnoush5699]

David You are a great artist and also wonderful teacher, you are knowledgeable, humble and compassionate. God bless you

[@marilynntrim2002]

Thank You David...I bought the Heritage acrylics about 4 years ago and haven't been able to get to paint due to personal circumstances...Thoroughly enjoy your beginning videos like this one ...I am 75 and live in Australia and ready to start to see what I can achieve.

[@pamelabritton1230]

Thank you for this simple easy way to get to a channel for beginners! I'm not a beginner, but I am in roses!! Not so good with them, so I appreciate this opportunity to learn.

[@SharenWatson]

I kept saying stop...stop ... but you did know best and magic happened.thoroughly enjoyed the video

[@wendygacsi1907]

Natural born teacher. I’m a right brain thinker. I am an artist but my medium is writing but I’ve always wanted to paint. On line tutorials are all I have. It takes a lot of pursuing to find the gems. Your a very impressive gem and I thank you. I’m fascinated by your using your science background to include art and will in future allow myself to investigate your paints when I’m able to afford a little more disposable income. Till then… thank you and God bless!! 😎♥️💫

[@darleneemerson667]

I really love your paintings Dave! I am learning so much.

[@patmclean416]

Thank you for the lesson. Going to try this. Beautiful pink rose. Thanks for the down loads. Come in handy.

[@michellecossu5102]

Thank so much for yor very very and excellent explaines 🎉🎉🎉 I love so much all that you do ❤❤❤❤❤❤Thank you says m'y heart 🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂

[@nictemple8962]

Brilliant as always!! Something I would like to see, as I am a newbie, is a simple tutorial on brush strokes. Cheers!!

[@karennaturallyartby]

I love this back to the basics review, you explain so well, and you didn’t use any extender or anything- great video Dave!!!!

[@jieliu610]

Thank you! It’s really helpful for me!❤

[@lisengel2498]

I just love the way you focus on tones. I think to learn to really be aware of tones in all areas of life is a way of learning to be very present to subtle and very soft changes - I adore that 🙏♥️🌸🌺💗🧡💜

[@zubiaafzal8600]

Wow 💗Thank You so much for teaching us such a nice technique. I really love the way you make so many new colors with just using some basic colors😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@satkiransangha]

Few years before I used to dream of being bestowed upon with a total scholarship so that could go to some best painting academy in Europe after finishing my household duties of bringing up kids and caring for very old parents in law And then You Tube opened up a whole new world with such generous people like you So now I keep painting when ever I get time off from never finishing chores 😇

[@wafflesstroop]

Loved this video! THANK YOU! My first rose looks like a 3 year old drawing :) I’ll keep trying. Lol

[@aidaassaf5266]

Thank you for taking the time to explain everything, from Beirut, Lebanon, middle east, despite the war trying to find and create beauty, hoping for the end of all the sorrow, peace and love to the whole humanity

[@janmaulMansfield5436]

Thanks a million David, so thoughtful of you to do this for all of us!

[@janethughes9812]

I am a long time student of yours but have painted very little (almost none) for the past year. I am going to the beginning to refill my "tool box" with techniques. Restudying "Color Theory" and now have added this channel. Big change is that I now have a floor easel instead of flat and using the long handle brushes. You may also see me trying the more complicated. Important thing is to paint instead of just washing/listening. Thank you for continuing to teach. You are great!.

[@kathihoward4611]

So thankful for you! I love you’re teaching methods. I’m self taught and on my way to 125 thousand roses! Ha ha. Keep posting videos. Love all of your channels.

[@elainelogan2023]

Hi David! when I saw the thumbnail come up, I thought oh that paint it simply person paints like David Jansen LOL beautiful and LOOKS simple! thank you

[@kamranfasih9082]

David, I love your work, your way of teaching.

[@cheezinhoweree]

I love this guy! You rock Dave

[@spikesartroom]

Hello! I'm an artist from Neb City. I've been following you for less than a week & have learned many new things. Thank you. Been painting since 2013 & painting has just begun!

[@vrblacktongue68]

i love the Jensons, watched their videos. it's soothing to watch for me, now i am teaching myself to paint.

[@janet33465]

Excellent teachings, beautiful rose. The learning continues

[@teriehr8490]

I have been taking painting (oil) lessons for 2 years, with the express purpose of being able to paint freehand roses. Unfortunately, my teacher was more a draw the subject, then paint by number so to speak. But this....THIS IS GENIUS!!! What I have been looking for all along! So excited! Your roses are BEAUTIFUL! And mine are going to be beautiful, too!!

[@annewilkie6467]

This is fantastic, I too am left brain and really appreciate your breaking things down like this. You’re also very inspiring and confidence building, which I love. This half tone method really speaks to me as I think that always blending can mean that there’s no dimension or character to the rose or bloom. My ambition is to create ‘blousy’ romantic impressionistic florals in acrylic just for the joy of it. Thank you so much for the time you put into these videos. ❤

[@Cherdeejul82]

Thank you so much for this, I’m a complete beginner and this is so helpful! Please keep tutorials coming and how to use other colours. Best wishes 🎨

[@waters8995]

I am looking to gain skills. The other channel made me feel like I need to learn way more about color theory. I’m so glad you have this simply channel going

[@carolynjones9157]

So glad you are doing this!! I had already subscribed to all of the channels you are associated with since I am a huge follower of your work. As always, thank you so much for being such a good teacher and sharing your talents with all of us that want to learn!!

[@carole2077]

Thank you so much David. I will have a go at this. You are such a master painter. I love watching you paint. Can you sometime show me how to paint hydrangeas. They grow in large bushes here in New Zealand and when I see them in my garden I always say to them, David J would love you. I’d like to paint them for myself but feel intimidated by their beauty.

[@JansenartstudioInc]

I have a couple of videos on my other channel where I show hydrangeas. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3bSmKtqdrOkpKM

[@chrisandkariadams9826]

[@endertheawkwardemoji280]

Great lesson will have to check out your paints, I do alot of watercolor, acrylic and water mixable oils, love the idea of acrylic that reconstitutes with a little water, wow

Oh! Looks like I’m already subscribed!

[@RevRedmondFarrier]

I'll have to come back and rewatch this vid when I am not so distracted by other tasks. It looks like I should be able to do this with oils with minimal modification. I have been attempting to paint a rose for a little project and have multiple failures in my scrapped canvas pile at this point.
