Week 8 Painting Acrylic Landscape Challenge - Exit Glacier Inspiration

[@paulavetter4492]

I can tell a good teacher by my consistently good results. I was concerned that this landscape was beyond my abilities, but Master Jansen proved me wrong! Listen, follow his advice and techniques, and watch your works come to life! “It’s only a board and some paint” I’m beginning to trust the process and loosen my brush. Love the results.

[@danielaschuler9840]

Thank you for your wonderful picturs! That‘s really great! 👍

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you too Daniela!

[@sheilapye5317]

A beautiful fun landscape David!! Love how the tones just come together so nicely. Thank you for your encouragement & inspiration.

[@JansenArtEducation]

You are very welcome!

[@lanorefulgham6469]

I just love your advice- “Let it go- just let it happen “ I have a “lot of opportunities for improvement- “ thank you for sharing- beautiful work

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much 😀

[@aaronbaron3155]

Nice to see a different kind of paint technique 😊

[@ritabarfield7029]

Another one of my favorites. It’s mesmerizing to watch you mix exactly the right colors to make the mountains and water and especially those rocks become so real! Thank you for sharing all that wonderful talent! Rita

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much Rita! 😀

[@geoffc1862]

You kept changing the channel of the river as it exited the base of the glacier! 😅 Another good one to watch and learn from. Thanks David.

[@JansenArtEducation]

You know us artist...LOL. We are fickle....LOL

[@geoffc1862]

@JansenArtEducation Have you spotted my comment on the colour theory video - the subtitles and transcript don't make sense, in English so I can't follow it. Is there another version?

[@JansenArtEducation]

No there is no other version available. KZbin provides the subtitiles for the videos.

I watched this beautiful video twice. Thank you so much not only for giving us envy to paint but also for your kind and lovely explanations in each video !! God Bless your art journey David !!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you very much! Very different technique but a lot of fun to paint. Thanks for the comment! 😀

[@juels_71]

Such fabulous painting David, this is definitely my favourite type of painting style. I felt you really let yourself go and enjoyed yourself doing this scene. Really enjoyed this challenge 🥳

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much Julie 😀

[@dustyrhoads2326]

Beautiful! I was fortunate enough to go out on a glacier in Alaska in 2018 and it looked just like this. The colors are very much like I saw.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thanks Dusty! I saw them back in the 90's. Love them.

[@brenroseartsoul6713]

You are so generous with your skills. Thank you so much.

Another beautiful painting! Thanks for sharing video! 👍

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much Tim!

[@loreleibell6287]

I began watching you last year, I guess. I watched this one and at the time nothing was open where I could get paint and other supplies--unless you count WAlmart, which was out of nearly every dang thing (yes, I was THAT desperate). I'm working my way through these again. I'm also doing my own series on our park here, in northern Ill. where we are park managers, it is a re-planted prairie and it also has a water lily pond which I've got to paint. So glad to have found you, David a year or so ago. I'll be going/have been going through your landscapes and will be painting a number of them!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much Lorelel😊 Landscape are fun!

[@realitycheck4086]

Thank you for your generosity in giving these lessons. So inspirational. Blessings.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much!

[@kellydavis501]

Super do!! I'm so fascinated with your techniques. I stay up at night watching your videos. I have said throughout my teaching "If you get it in your head, it will come to your hand." Well, I gotta get a bigger head to hold all the info you give us!! Thanks again for a great lesson.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Wow, thank you Kelly! It is a very fun technique. I am trying to become more casual. We will keep them coming since your getting a bigger head. 😃

[@nadaa9995]

As always your lessons and your painting in a sample technique give an amazing inspiration to paint . Thank you so much for your inspiration 🌹 I am so happy that I paint the sea painting from your lesson last week😄I am so happy about my landscape painting this time .

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much Nada. 😀

Another fabulous video. Thank you so much David.

[@JansenArtEducation]

My pleasure!

[@lesleyfox6934]

Hi David, I loved watching you paint, I am only a beginner and you inspire me to have a go. I know I am too realistic and would like to become looser and more impressionistic. Thanks again I look forward to the next one.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much Lesley. It was really difficult for me to let it go, but once you can, it is a lot of fun! You can do it!

[@melbavillar3264]

It is such a journey to observed how these paintings develop when there are times where it's hard to imagine how it will turn out; yet, at some point it transforms.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Hopefully it works in the end!

[@bettydavidson8701]

Love this

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much 😀

[@lynnjeffries7525]

my mum passed away in March this year and I have inherited her acrylic paints and brushes etcetera so I decided to give it ago. As someone who normally just draws and sketches and occasionally watercolours I found the acrylic paints very difficult to use, so I was searching youtube for help, your channel I now watch consistently and its helping me a lot. The things I have learned recently are not to fiddle with detail like I normally do, and paint MUCH bigger than i normally do, so Ive decided to day its go big or go home. Thankyou for your inspiration

[@JansenArtEducation]

Hi Lynn, Acrylics are difficult to use if you try to use them like oils. Most people complain about the drying time because they are trying to use them like oils. I don't, I have developed both oil and acrylic paint lines. They are different. Use different techniques. When I was an oil painter I used oil techniques. As an acrylic painter I use acrylic techniques. Oils can't do the acrylic techniques of shear, solvent etc. They have their own techniques. Both media are excellent and should be used with their own techniques.

[@tamaeas]

Thank you very much for showing us the amazing creative video. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. I can't say it well, but I feel that the old feelings I had had broken down and I was able to melt it.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you very much Tamae! "Of course" you can do it 😀

[@fatema.s.4577]

That's a lot, your upward creativity is inspiring, always thanks😊

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you so much 😀

Great teaching as always. Thank you sir. Lovely painting too.

[@JansenArtEducation]

You are very welcome Todd. Thanks much!

[@sharonstratis2846]

I found this playlist when I was searching for desert landscape tutorials, so I started with your #4 Colorado video. Been watching the playlist in order since. Couple of questions; why do you use wooden boards and not canvas board or stretched canvas, and have you thought of doing a series of desert paintings (Utah rock formations, Nevada mountains, Arizona plains)? Having grown up in New England, I find those landscapes super interestng. Love all of your advice!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@bonnarart]

Thank you, I enjoy watching your approach and details on painting!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you very much!

[@salvathijazi431]

Beautiful indeed

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you Salvat.

[@jeningle8288]

Im learning a lot, thankyou. Inspiring!

More wonderful art! Regarding thick paint and texture: Are you talking about 3D textures or optical textures? My full bodied professional acrylics always dry flat regardless of how much thick paint texture I lay in. Modelling compounds & gels are the only solution. Thanks for all your suggestions, information and explanations.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Actual 3D texture. It creates its own shadow and interest.

[@fadisamman5546]

Thank you very good🎄🎄🎄🎖️🎖️🌎

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you too

[@lynnjeffries7525]

one thing I meant to ask, the paints I got are Winsor and Newton and they dry very fast but ive heard of some that stay wet for longer like Atelier and Golden Open, do your paints do this? I have to use what Ive got but as they run out can I use the other type along with the winsor and newton?

[@JansenArtEducation]

Hi Lynn, First, there will be many who say go ahead and mix brands. I don't. I have worked as a paint chemist and colorist for 4 different paint companies over the past 35 years. I can tell you as we developed products we never tested them with other brands for compatibility. Acrylics have numerous variations and not all work with each other. Golden and Winsor Newton are excellent companies. Many will give you all kinds of advice and say sure go ahead. Do yourself a favor and write the company for the information. I would write the companies and ask what they suggest to slow down the drying time. Golden open is really nice, not needed for how I paint and will not work with many techniques I use here, but it is very nice product as all Golden products are. One thing I was reading about it several years ago was thickness. You can't apply the paint in real thick layers or it will crack as it dries. This was a warning from the company. I haven't checked lately, but you might look into it. If it is still the same, it will not work with what I show in this video. I worked with Chroma for 18 years developing products. Nice company. They manufacturer my mother's line of paint. I don't know their current formula's now so you will have to check with them. They are medium rich like Golden which is a good thing to help you adjust the paint to what you like to do.

[@lynnjeffries7525]

@@JansenArtEducation thankyou. As most of the colours seem to be Winsor and Newton i will stick with them as Im getting to know them a bit more. I did buy a couple of different brands to try as they were supposed to be runnier but I now think they dont actually combine that well.
