Thank you, David. I'm 74 and thinking of restart painting flowers, nature, birds after watching your very fascinating lesson. You are a great teacher indeed.

Mr. Jansen, I being learning how to paint with you for years, thanks for all the lessons . I loved your lessons and how easy you made the process. I am still watching your shows to this day! God bless you , and please never stop teaching!! I am a retired teacher and you made my teaching a lot easier, I used your demonstration process, even with my first graders, they loved learning and painting. There I used your method ; watch and draw! I was you and my students were all drawing behind me. They lost the fear of making mistakes, all they did , were their unique creations. Thanks, God bless you!

Your wildflower painting is absolutely beautiful! It amazes me at the beginning of your painting how you so easily add different length stems. I have tried but oh well, I am learning concepts as I go along and enjoying my painting time each day. Thank you, for another great video and can't believe all of the many brushes that are yours!😊

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us bless your heart. Funny you like trains. I lived on a train for two and a half years, with Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus blue unit. In 1979 I believe it was the longest train in the northern continent. So anyway yes I'm quite familiar with trains just as you are. My grandfather was an electrician for the railroad. So thank you so much thank you thank you thank you for sharing God bless you

So beautiful Dave. I love the casualness of the painting. You mentioned you might do a video on varnishing paintings. I would love to see that. I seem to get some streaking when I apply the gloss varnish. Thanks so much for these videos. They are gold!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Yes, I am Dusty. I will have it next week. Since your using gloss, sounds like you have areas of thick and thin varnish. Add a little water to the varnish as you apply and give 3 thin... THIN coats. I will show in the video. Thanks so much 😊

[@dustyrhoads2326]

Love your teachings and paintings! The flower you are calling a cosmo is actually a California Poppy

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you very much. No I did check with a flower friend of mine. It is a cosmos I was looking at. The California poppy is orange and has wider petals. Had those on the hill next to my house in California for 25 years. They are wonderful. I have painted those many times. 😊

[@kellydavis501]

This is great. Definite challenge....must find my loosen goosey brush for this one. Haha. Reminds of a story once told to me by one of the girls I used to teach with. She was on her way to class and drove down a street by the lake nearby. It was spring and all the ducks and geese were plentiful. Unfortunately, one of the geese had been struck by a passing car and she had witnessed the awful event. She was quite upset, but gave it some thought....how can she make things better. There was no rescuing the poor goose as it passed immediately after being struck. She didn't want the poor thing to die without purpose. She pulled her car over by the goose and began plucking it's feathers! She took the feathers to her paint class, washed them in the sink, gave them out to her students and gave a quick tutorial on faux finishes and veining with a feather. We crazy painters think quite differently than the average person. Lol

[@JansenArtEducation]

My daughter thinks that way as well. She always says to make art out of sadness. Happy spirit. Thanks so much 😊

[@ronelbroderick1426]

Firstly thank you for your tutorials. I read in one of the comments somebody asked about varnishing a painting so my question is do you HAVE to do that on all paintings? I use just the normal Heritage paint since that is all that is available here so your technique that i so much love is a bit of a struggle to me. But thanks for all your tutorials

[@JansenArtEducation]

Heritage doesn't need to be varnished. It is up to you. Varnishing does provide a protective layer.

[@allartstudio4605]

@@JansenArtEducation Thank you for your time to answer, keep safe ! God Bless

[@sarahmontgomery8247]

You’re my favorite floral artist and I’ve been practicing your Alla Prima Techniques, but I just can’t seem to get it down. I use oil paint and I thought that may be the reason?

[@JansenArtEducation]

Could be. Not all techniques can be done in all media. The acrylics I use feel like "butter" on the brush so they slide very easy. You might have to loosen up the oils a little more. Just a thought. I haven't painted with them for many years.
