Happy Day....Jane is back....love this background....so many possibilities.....

[@yolandamartinez9799]

Love the way Jane explains each step !

[@BrandiWineRn]

Thanks Jane for pointing out some of the things esp as beginner I wish ppl would have told me! I struggle even today with over working my paintings and I know better . The perfectionist inside me sees a spot and needs to try to make it perfect right then that moment ugh🤔🫣 lol ! Also learning that every painting has a ugly stage and let those moments happen . Thanks

[@patriciabroussard2698]

Girl you are very encouraging about no worries about if you make mistakes It's uplifting,thank you, Oh an your saying softly when painting certain things softly, softly, softly staid in my head in my other paintings, I'm really new to painting on canvas I painted on wood for years an really liked it but I like this so much better. So bless you an thank you again for that soft voice of softly softly when blending or just painting.

[@rosaphillips5380]

Jane I just have to say I follow several artists on KZbin but when I see a painting I want to do I’m happy when I figure out it’s one of yours. Your voice is so comforting! Believe it or not on some I have to mute the sound and just watch. Thankyou

[@isabelleandre8989]

So glad to have you back.

Welcome back Jane! You’ve been missed. I hope you’re doing well. Thank you for another great tutorial. 💜💜💜

[@27jegs]

Thank you for reminding me how to blend, matt medium, with water it really is a challenge. Used to watch your videos years ago but then took a break. Glad we are both back together again. Looking forward to a lot more acrylic tricks.

😊 Hi Jane....loving your videos...watching from Australia

[@malgozata1875]

Hi Jane. Wow! Thank you very much for showing how to blend acrylics. I have been watching others, but your video is most complete, again. Thank you.

[@wendyschlegel5031]

I've missed you! I was thinking about you the other day. I was hoping you were still making KZbin videos. I love this painting. I have a thing about birds. Your hair has grown quite a bit. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@bettycooper1399]

Oh my goodness, this really touched me and I'm so excited to try tonight when I get home! Thank you!

We all need our weird little ugly time, don't we? 😊

[@winey2139]

Wonderful! I could listen to your voice all day.

[@sandrahooper2572]

It is good to see you back, Jane. I am sooooo looking forward to the oil painting videos. I have been doing acrylics and want to try my hand in oils. In fact, I bought some oil paints, now I need to know how to use them. lol. I’m 67 so I’m not looking to be a famous painter, I just want to have some fun with painting in oils because I do like the fact that it will give me more time and not to have rush before the paint dries. What you are planing to do is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

[@michaelcody3829]

Thanks Jane, just discovered your videos, thank you, very lovely. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺.

Thank you for sharing . Lots of detail information needed as a beginner Thank you

So glad you are back!

[@helensowers4667]

Hi Jane it’s been a couple years for me. I hope you are doing well I have loved your videos I have followed you for 5 years now. I am getting back to painting now. Your voice it still so soothing. Your hair has grown out so much looks great

[@bettybatrez8311]

So glad I was included in this session. Good technique demonstrated! Thanks!

[@jmpa33]

You are a wonderful teacher!

[@deborahrech7429]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial! Very useful techniques thoroughly presented. I have never gotten the blending results in acrylic that I wanted. I don’t work fast and thought that was why. You gave me tools to work at my own speed using as many layers as needed to get the results I’m after.

[@altheamcnabb2829]

Ive been away from painting for awhile. Ive been wanting to do something to practice...and this is it, Blending. Thanks. I can do this on several canvases to get a nice layer down of backgrounds and get some needed skills back as well. Althea

My granddaughter (she’s 8) and I watch you together!! SO HAPPY TO CATCH YOUR LIVE!! You’re our FAVORITE ON KZbin!!

@@PaintingwithJane just KNOW that you are truly amazing. I want to tell you that my g-kids have always seen me “create” whenever I could fit it in. Maddie loves ALL of it as long as it comes with a pencil, pen, or paint! We pick one of your videos, and paint! It’s that simple. You’ve helped us BOTH see the beauty in whatever our end result is. Believe it or not you are teaching people to love their own personal style which gives birth to artists. 🙏🏿 🙏🏻🙏🙏🏾

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, friend. I'm honored 🙏

[@Loris-Crazy-Life]

JANE omg your back!!! Oh God and I’m still around lmao. Funny thing, I started oil painting about a year ago!!! Can’t wait to chat with you again!! Went and looked at all your recent work and my lord you’ve just really come into your own, regardless of medium choice!! Love it all!! Bless you babe, your rocking it!

[@smitharegy2632]

Helped me to make beautiful paintings

[@cheryljantz9001]

Thank you so much Jane! I’ve watched it through and really enjoyed it! Will attempt mine later!

Beautiful. Merci. 🥰 I love the new look. 🌹

[@cobyloewen3388]

Thanks, tech!! Listening/watching … will attempt later.

[@ilymarcruz13]

I'm so happy to see you back Jane! I've been an acrylic painter for nearly a decade now, and I learned soooo much after years of struggling with it from your vids. Keep up the great work and I'm excited to see how you approach oils!

[@maryclough730]

I was really looking forward to this yesterday, and wasn't able to join in, but through the magic of video I will be participating today! Thank you Jane

[@maryclough730]

This helped me tremendously with understanding when and how to use the matte medium!

[@PaintingwithJane]

I'm so glad!!

[@Someoneoutthere67]

Perfect! Love this! I have had issues with blending. This is just absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Just discovered you actually.

Excellent work dear

[@yvonnerobertson9522]

Yay! You're making tutorials again. I'm moving this month out of my travel trailer into an apt. So excited to get my paints unpacked and using them again. New brushes? Whoopee!. Welcome back. ( Anita Robertson) 😁👏👏👏

[@dianejordan1983]

So glad you are back Jane! I’m really looking forward to seeing what you do with oils. I’m mostly an acrylic painter and have learned a great deal from you, and have a whole set of water soluble oils and their mediums (I don’t like the smells of solvents) that I have been a little afraid to start using.

[@PaintingwithJane]

You can absolutely get solvents with little to no smell! I don't notice any smell at all with my oils.

[@janicedambrosio3412]

Yes. I am very interested in your on line oil painting course…

[@sydnegladding1077]

Great video. I can't wait to try it

[@MrCowmorrison]

When you take your breaks to let the paint dry how do you keep your paints on your palette from drying out?

[@NatalinoCasciello]

Ciao Bellissimo. Puoi dirmi quale medium usi? Grazie

[@rachelr3113]

Yay 🥰❤💕

[@charlenehanis2924]

Hi Jane Thank you for this tutorial Its GREAT! I learned alot. Is liquitex Red oxide similar to burnt sienna and PR 101?

[@PaintingwithJane]

No, it's opaque. It's the PR101 pigment, but it's not transparent. In Liquitex, look for Transparent Burnt Sienna.

[@charlenehanis2924]

@@PaintingwithJane thank you

[@zsuzsannaah]

Hi Jane! I love your soothing voice! What is your take on retardant versus matte medium to gain some time to work with acrylic paint?

[@PaintingwithJane]

I find retarders to be sticky. But also, I'm more interested in the transparency that the matte medium offers and less interested in the extended drying time. It's really a very small amount of extra drying time anyway.

[@anitaclancy9662]

When blending with the oil paint can I use acrylic with matte medium so the paint stays wet long enough to do the blending like the oil. I am not a good blender! thanks Jane.

[@anitaclancy9662]

Well I took the bull by the horns lol. I painted the background using acrylic with lots of matte medium. It was so easy!! And I loved how it turned out so I finished it with the silhouette ❤

[@anitaclancy9662]

I was trying to send my painting but it won’t paste on here 🤷‍♀️

[@claralettera2387]

will someone tell me how I upload a painting to jane

[@michellepoire9845]

hello! what do you mean by "matte medium"?

[@michellepoire9845]

is it the same as gesso?

I am so interested in your online oil painting course. Do I subscribe now?

[@PaintingwithJane]

Nope, not until April 1st, but do sign up for my mailing list! I will send out all info about the oil painting course there first! Link in the video description :)

[@t0raneko]

Oil blending is great, but the difficulty comes when applying paint over that beautiful blended background. I've been oil painting for 10 years and I get frustrated watching videos of people painting exquisite detail alla prima because I just make mud even if I keep my layers thin.

[@PaintingwithJane]

There's for sure a balance there where mud can easily be made. For me, the trick is using a delicate brush and thinning the paint down with solvet. Even still, though, you want to be sure not to fiddle with it too much. If it's a bit of a larger area (larger than a liner brush is wide), I find it's easier to wipe the paint out before applying the details. It also has to do with the thickness of the pain. If your initial layer is quite thick, you're gonna have a heck of a time getting delicate details on there no matter what you do. The trick is to keep the background thin. Like Bill Alexander (the original Bob Ross) use to always say, "thicker paint sticks to the thinner paint."

[@t0raneko]

@@PaintingwithJane Yes, all that and more. I regularly fall out of love with oils for that reason, even though they're my preferred medium. I feel my skills regressing from time to time and have to switch to acrylics if I want to ever get anything finished.

[@PaintingwithJane]

I know how that is! I'm actually in the exact same though exact opposite situation, lol. I'm painting in oils more because I feel like I'm lacking something in my acrylic game, lol.
