Impressionist Poppies Step by Step Acrylic Painting on Canvas for Beginners

In this video, we're gonna get together and learn how to paint impressionist poppies with palette knives. This is a good lesson for beginners and up.
I’m painting on a 12x16-inch stretched canvas, but you can paint on any type and size of canvas you like.
The used:
• A 1-inch flat brush
• A small pointed palette knife
• A 2 1/2-inch narrow palette knife
• You'll also need an extra paper towel
I’m using Liquitex Basics acrylic paints in the following colors:
• Titanium White
• Burnt Umber
• Mars Black
• Cadmium Red Deep Hue
• Naphthol Crimson (can substitute Cadmium Red Medium Hue)
• Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue
But you can use any colors you like.

I am over 50 and have never painted a day in my life! As of today I have completed 2 of your paintings and OMG they turned out so good. I am totally shocked! You are an amazing instructor!! You make me feel fearless to do things I once was so afraid of! Thank you so much Jane for doing such an awesome job! Please keep doing this!! Once I get more paints (colors) I am going to keep following the paintings you are doing. I personally would love to see more underwater paintings (including coral, fish, dolphins, whales, ect.) I love the water, sunsets, pretty much anything to do with water (both on top and underneath). Please don't stop!! You are making new artists daily!!! *points to herself* =D

[@donnamarchese2457]

I love your videos n your artwork. You keep it as simple as possible which makes it so much easier to follow. Plus you speak to your followers so everyone understands what and why your doing things. It's all so appreciated. Thx for another great video.

I've always believed that just because you can do something doesn't mean you can teach that something to others. But you are a great teacher! So many videos on KZbin and I've never watched an entire one until I found vidoes!! Thanks much

[@PaintingwithJane]

You're very sweet. Thank you so much !

[@kashifsaif4774]

Thank you for a very informative video, and detailed work. You are by far, my favorite. Why? One, you didn't try to be a comedian. Two, no distracting music. Three, Stuck with the subject matter. And you are down to earth! I'll keep coming back for More! thank you, Juliana

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Julianna

[@barbaralions814]

Thank you for the clear instructions on how to use the Palette knife. you are a superb teacher.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Barbara! I'm glad it was helpful :D

[@jdorosco1857]

These poppies are wonderful. I'm glad Kelly Donovan mentioned you. you're such a good teacher :-)

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, JD! She is just the sweetest

[@susanhepburn6040]

What a fantastically helpful video! I'm apparently 5 years late to the party but just wanted to say a very big thank you.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@sylviajames25]

I attended a workshop recently on pallet knife work and struggled to get the feel of it . I just found your demo and loved it so much I'm going to give it another try , thank you for explaining so well.

[@guapitatessa]

Beautiful! thanks for sharing it to us. Your tutorial painting is good we anderstand your explanation. i hope I can do that.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you! You can ♥

[@SoFloSoFawny]

Finally! Someone who goes slowly and shows the detailed technique of how to hold that pallette knife and roll it and how to load the paint! Much appreciated Jane! I've watched many other videos on pallette knife painting and I think you are the best teacher for a beginner like me! THANK YOU!

[@angelestevez5725]

Really a very beautiful floral. Congratulations Jane.

[@studioknit]

Gorgeous!!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Kristen! Hope you're doing well

[@judithkehoe5995]

What a wonderful lesson! I love how you present all in such a way that a beginner can follow!!! Thanks so much - I can't wait to get started now that I see that, yes, I can do this too!!!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Judith!!! Yes, you CAN do it!!! Have a wonderful time

[@JeanBenefield]

Thank you. You are a GREAT teacher. I can't wait to watch all of your videos!!!

[@kelciawheeler986]

Jane I just love the way you teach. You are so easy to follow and explain in detail so I can understand every word and feel like I can do what you explain and I thank you so much for your talent and sharing your self with all of us. I was a beautician in my career. I retired to Vermont but when working I had the Wyeth's for clients for 26 years. I was around artist for years and never in a million years would I have believed I could paint. But meeting your video's I might just be able to do it. I must admit I am trying late in life turning 71 on Earth Day. You are such an inspiration and I am regretful I found you and your talent and sharing.

[@sharonpotempa8914]

I would love to see a beach scene with palette knife. I love your work. tks

[@PaintingwithJane]

Oooh, that sounds like fun, Sophia! Thank you for the suggestion :D

[@dianec4356]

Thanks, Jane! You have inspired me a lot for painting with Pallet knife. Very clear direction on how-to do it. Appreciate your time and effort!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Diane ♥

[@sharonburge6517]

diane C love it she is very good

[@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING]

I came back to this one after a few years to refresh my memory. The first one I painted six years ago won first in class at the county fair and later sold. I've sold a few 4x5s based on Jane's poppy tutorial, and someone who saw one at a friends home commissioned three of those little ones. So, back here for a refresher course. Thanks again, Jane.

[@proudmomof3847]

You are by far the best teacher! I like the detail in the technique that you explain with so much clarity!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me

[@WedittsPlaythings]

My second attempt on this one was much better than the first. Glad for the palette knife practice!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Wonderful! I'm glad you're keeping at it. Palette knives can be really awkward at first, but they're such a fun tool to master!

[@WedittsPlaythings]

Tried it again substituting Ultramarine blue for the burnt umber. Will do this combo a second time, too. Lots of palette knife practice! Thank you for providing these tutorials.

[@hinakhabalooch]

love you..God bless you...very nice and easy 😍😘

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Hina!!

[@kelymknowles1]

I really love it when you do paintings like this one and the rainy umbrella one. They demonstrate your depth and maturity. Leave the corny kiddy stuff to the art sherpa. Thumbs up on this one!

[@valentinagenova439]

I paint with you these beautiful poppies! For the first time I am very pleased and happy with the result! Thank you very much, Jane!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Fantastic, loved it. Just what I was looking for, can,t wait to give it a go.Excellent. You talk gently as you paint and you dont rattle on and on before or during.

[@almasliaqat4480]

Such beautiful painting and so simple instructions. You have an art of teaching. Kindly post more paintings by palette knife.

[@janhurp410]

Hi Jane I have managed to paint a similar painting to yours. A friend has asked to buy it. Is it ok for me to sell it please?

[@PaintingwithJane]

Go for it, Jan! Congrats, friend

[@janhurp410]

Thank you so much. Thanks for your great tuition and inspiration too. Much appreciated ;) XX

[@ruchishetty5027]

I think so I am the youngest subscriber of your channel bcoz i am only 10 I am interested in painting a lot

[@PaintingwithJane]

You might be! Do you paint now? If you start practicing young, you're going to be an amazing artist in no time flat! I think it's easier for kids to learn how to paint sometimes. Adults can block themselves with fear, but kids just go for it! That's what I want you to do. Just go for it!

[@vikivictoria7343]

Who would dislike this!!!

[@PaintingwithJane]

lol! Haters gonna hate ;)

[@joannawentworth3655]

Very inspired by your impressionists poppies. You are a very good instructor. I think I will paint poppies all this month. Thank you

[@EricRush]

I'm back to watch this again, a refresher course. People liked the poppies I painted a few years ago. Tried again recently and discovered I had lost my groove. Trying too hard. Watching this again reminds me to loosen up. Thanks again, Jane.

[@berthapatino6146]

You are a very good teacher of art

[@dorothynorris4371]

Thanks for the lesson. I painted with palette knives in 60's and 70's. I loved it--have bought the metal and plastic ones. Also, love the use of paper plates and paper rolls. We did not have these. Again, thank you. I will be watching you and returning to things I love.

[@anthonybattams6693]

What a beautiful painting I was totally in trenched watching you paint mesmerising

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Anthony! :D

[@philippam1122]
