I am, at the ripe old age of 99, going t ake up painting again. What a marvelous little bird and you are a wonderful teacher. I absolutely think I could do that, with your wonderful instruction. Since my husband passed I absolutely have found the thing to fill in the hours. Thank you so much Mr. Nansen. Pat

Wow... The moment I saw your painting I felt I need to paint this....I always love those small beautiful birds.... Thank you for posting this.

[@JansenArtEducation]

My pleasure 😊 This is a fun one!!

[@jasonstreet_art]

I just did the same thing! Within 2 seconds, I thought I could try to paint that today! Try.. we'll see!

[@patriciarusso1148]

Such a sweet little wren! The way you are able to paint his eye so easily fascinates me. Always appreciate your great teaching and I am able to see your beautiful artwork completed. I think I have found a place in the kitchen for my goldfinch. My husband wanted to hang a painting I only considered ok & a practice session up on his bathroom wall. Did frame my painting and looks good there as we both decided! Only can thank you for bringing me this far in with my painting projects and Michael who has been encouraging & reminds me I do need a new desk chair so will be purchasing one soon. Have a great afternoon & an even better evening!

Grelt demonstration as always - really nice background with all the abstract interpretation of light and stuff as movements in relation to the energy of the little bird - lovely style showing a wonderfull understanding of relationship and the wonder of mystery and loose blurring edges in relation to a dynamic balance of freedom and control - so beautifull 🧡

I love how you get the mottling (I think because you used a retarder?) and your blending is amazing! I painted with you a few years back you are such an inspiration!

Where do you get the mdf boards u use to paint on

[@JansenArtEducation]

I buy large sheets of MDF from a wood supplier and cut the sizes. You can also find it from time to time at a home store. You can order cut panels of hardboard from Dick Blick or amazon.

Hi, I just discovered you a day or 2 before Christmas and watched a couple of videos. I've been watching and following other acrylic artists for awhile and I do like your technique, your paintings remind me of oil paintings of the old masters. I perused your website and was interested in your classes. I was wondering which one would you recommend to get a grasp of your technique as a beginner of this tonal method? You also have a Bob Ross thing about you. Thanks.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Hi Ken, The overall best seminar class we have is the S202 Art of Seeing. It by far covers the most information and techniques in the widest genre. It is also a never ending class, which mean it will never stop. I add to it each month and will never stop. I knew Bob Ross very well 😀

[@terrysharing]

Hello David. I've been watching for some time and this is my first time to comment. Can you say what ratio of the extender to paint that you use for your larger quantities of paint that you premix? I recently got my first set of Heritage paints and mediums along with some Fusion brushes and I'm eager to get started. I played around with the paints to get to know them and I'm thrilled with the pigment load and the rich viscosity. I've only ever used low end paints before so this will be a big step forward for me. A million thanks for your absolutely brilliant video instructions!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thanks, Terry! Consider joining our Heritage group on MeWe.com. Lots of help and suggestions there. I teach in that group every day. To make "global" acrylics I mix about 20% Extender into the acrylics and let it sit open for a couple days, stirring every 8 hours. This allows the water to evaporate out of the paint replacing it with the very slow drying extender. Snap the lid on the container when you at a consistency you like and it will stay nice for years. 😀
