Acrylic Animal Portrait Technique Video 2 of 2

[@zoridahall4732]

Your tutorial is excellent, but you have to admit, that's very difficult when talking and trying to paint at the same time,,, you lose some of the momentum, so it takes a lot longer to get the calligraphy correctly, but you're doing a fantastic tutorial, thank you, I have learned a lots of tips,,,you're one of my favorite on you tube ,,,,, awesome, a lots of professionalism,,, looking forward to see you and your daughter do a tutorial together,,,Zoe God bless

[@JansenArtEducation]

Yes, talking and creating don't always mix well. Sometimes I just want to paint it!

[@zoridahall4732]

The small details are vital, and it takes longer to complete the portrait, excellent tutorial, the perspective is very important, I'm also a self taught artist, and we are the best, we are always learning and enjoying every moment of it, with our hearts and soul ❤

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you.

[@martimajor4766]

LOL! "with a good stiff drink, I like to stand way back and look at what I've done!" Your authenticity, honesty and integrity are unbeatable. You so deserve all good things that come your way. Will paint my dog because you have so inspired me. Thx!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Yes! Thank you Marti!

[@kellydavis501]

Oh my goodness. Beautiful. I have a Great Pyrenees and black lab mix, greying muzzle. Can't wait to try them together in one pic. I have this on my to do list. Thank you for this one. I didn't think anything today....yet! 🤪

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you Kelly. Sounds like a fun painting!

[@jennieholzmann-co7bw]

I learned SO much from these two videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the process. I esp enjoy how flexible you are with regard to the process and how open you seem to be about how others may differ. I am new to painting. I’ve been painting pet portraits for a few years, but have no formal training. For instance- I still don’t know what ‘extender’ is- but I’m going to do some research and find some asap! I never thought to use my fingers to blur lines. And I never thought to stage the background into the subject - but how wonderful that looks! Thank you. I will def follow and hope you keep showing us how to paint pets!

[@celtyrysuje]

I think it will help me a lot with the painting that I will be working on. I might try this technique. My friend wants me to paint his german shepherd. I was thinking the same things at the same time as you, so I guess that's a good sign. I don't like to tone the background before painting. What I like to do is paint the background as much as I can and then paint the thing I want on it. Great videos, I really enjoyed watching you painting this dog.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Good luck!

[@toniasagoo5010]

Absolutely amazing! I've learnt so much by watching this video. (First time watching it - and your channel). Thank you for sharing.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Awesome, thank you Tonia!

[@DeAnnMeelyArt]

Yay...so excited to paint this lesson "with you." No doubt these techniques will help me more easily paint my pet portrait commissions. Thanks again for the studies! Beautiful work!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you very much DeAnn! Yes, these are fun and fast painting techniques of acrylic portraits. Next the Timber Wolf with the Zorn Palette! See you in class. 😀

[@monicacoyle3760]

Your a wonderful artist and your paintings are amazing

[@SimmingWithSkeeter]

I love this style and technique so much! I bet this would help me learn to see the tones better...gonna have to try this out. Thank you for teaching this. I really appreciate that you explain things so clearly!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Yes this type of painting is wonderful for teaching your eye to see tones! Thank you so much 😀

[@suevowles1523]

When I started drawing in university, my brother was a lecturer, so he had the fineliner and the see through plastic, which they used with the projector 📽 👨‍🏫 I read a book about the masters using a candle to project the drawing and I thought hmm 🤔 I should borrow my brothers tools to copy my photograph and project onto a canvas. And that’s how I painted a massive landscape, with very little drawing experience. It was fun, but I think I stunted my growth.. because I became overconfident for a beginner Anyway long story short, I love the projector pen and plastic technique. But nothing beats drawing from scratch for long term artistic growth

[@JansenArtEducation]

Yep, drawing is very important, but you can learn while painting. That is how I did it. I learned how to paint flowers long before I learned how to draw them. Same with portraits, landscape...LOL. I find if you can paint a nice one that gives you more confidence with the drawing.

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

David Jansen oh that’s reassuring! Right now I paint better than I draw 😅😂 My people drawings look like stick figures

[@JansenArtEducation]

That is great.... Room to grow and improve! 😀

[@juliezieve1549]

hi David, fantastic I hope to see lots more of you and your beautiful work, thank you J Zieve,Zimbabwe

[@JansenArtEducation]

More to come Julie! Glad you enjoyed the lesson! Thanks.

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

Has your daughter also got a KZbin channel? Would love to see her work 😍😍 talented family!

[@JansenArtEducation]

No. She does some videos for our online classes and travel teaches. Hopefully we will have her do some for our new section coming in a few weeks.

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

David Jansen 🎉 yay!

[@kristin0918]

I love watching you paint. What kind of extender did you put on at the end? This is beautiful I am learning so much from you.

[@jackiegarroutte8970]

[@lesleyfox6934]

Mesmerising David, painting is beautiful. What is the brand of the marker? I live in Australia I wish I lived closer to you so I could attend live classes. Thanks again for putting your time in for us.

[@JansenArtEducation]

We have it in our online store. We get it from Japan from our students there. I have no clue what the name is..,,LOL It is in Japanese. I am sure there are others, but I really like that one. Instant! Glad you enjoyed the video. So much fun to paint him!

[@karengaggin4669]

What medium do you use with the Acrylics to keep them open and workable for so long. I mix colors & they dry up & even using water it's so dry it just turns into a watery color

[@zeenatnoorali8079]

Wonderful

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@laurettamolles2057]
