Impressionist Poppies Step by Step Acrylic Painting on Canvas for Beginners

[@ConnieB143]

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

[@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.

[@crochethappy3786]

I have been watching artists on youtube for years, and you have the absolute best instructions.. What is usually missing is closeup technique, which you have done here. Thank you!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much!!! That makes me so happy to hear

[@crochethappy3786]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@nicoleheisterman7475]

I love this painting and painted it today on Remembrance Day. Thank you for sharing - you are a great teacher! Thanks for teaching palette knife technique - it is so fun and no details to sweat about just lots of great colour and texture... super inspiring!

[@PaintingwithJane]

You're so welcome, Nicole. What a lovely thing to do today. Thank you, friend

[@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!

[@larrysvision7084]

I think I'm in love with pallet knives! And your easy-going impressionistic rendering is brilliant!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Larry!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@inapickle806]

I'm just starting to paint and have been looking at tutorials for help. I loved this painting when I saw it and I'm really proud of how it came out when I tried it. I learned a lot of techniques in this one video and am way less intimidated by the knives now. You made it easy. Thank you so much!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Audra!! I'm excited for you to start your journey in painting :D

[@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.

[@DiegoVansante]

Finally someone to explain her thought process, and shows how to move the knife when painting. Love it! Excellent instruction. Thanks.

[@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 ♥

[@luigidinapoli4766]

Excellent. I have worked with wood , carving, and painting song birds as a hobby. I have just started painting and have decided on flowers. I have studied most of the painters that are on line, but have found yours the most interesting. Thank you for showing me the way.

[@studioknit]

Gorgeous!!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Kristen! Hope you're doing well

[@lovesick20101]

Jane you have been such inspiration for me to complete the impressionist poppies with palette knives, I signed it and will hang it on my wall. Thank you for your time and kindness, I really feel good about this, it looks so cheerful

[@PaintingwithJane]

I'm so happy to hear that, AJ!!! Keep it up. Soon your walls will be covered in paintings

[@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!

[@Devkinandan]

Jane, you are wonderful. I painted this and it came out fabulous.. can't believe...I painted it. Just because of you.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Yay!! Congrats :D I would love to see. Are you in our Art Monster group on Facebook? facebook.com/groups/ArtMonsterSquad/

[@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

[@Susiequigley]

I love how well you explain everything in detail so us new to painting are sure to understand it. I have really enjoyed learning from you. I painted your Summer Flowers on the Fence the other day on a piece of canvas paper and my 19year old daughter like it so much that she framed it for her room! Made me feel great! So thank you for being a great teacher.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Susan

[@sarahthompson6353]

Thank you so much, Jane. Your lessons have been an amazing gift in my life. I suffered a life altering brain injury almost 10 years ago. I lost my life ... But, I have finally found another life ... Another path that I'm drawn to ... Perhaps I would even say 'compelled to' follow. The long and the short --- I am learning so much from you, Jane. Namaste

@Jane I cannot say thank you enough for the explanation of the direction and way to hold the palate knife.I have seen a few loads but not like this being as simplistic and easy to understand. Now I cannot wait to use my plastic set I have had yet no idea on how to use them! Thank you💜

[@tryandfeelme]

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 !

[@donnapaliotti6397]

I finally got around to painting this one today. It was so much fun!!! I love using a palette knife. I'm very new at it but each time I use one, I love it even more. You make it easy. Thanks Jane!!!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Donna! I'm so glad you enjoyed it

[@angelestevez5725]

Really a very beautiful floral. Congratulations Jane.

[@helenharper2219]

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.

[@yvonnerobertson9522]

I've done this painting different styles different colors etc. Tonight I learned nothing less than liquitex basics will work. I mixed in some cheap craft paints. It's not awful, but it's not my standard for this painting. Paint and learn. Thank you Jane.

[@lynnhamilton2567]

This is GR8! I can't believe how much depth you achieved by changing the color of the reds! I look forward to watching you create again soon!

[@connieostroha8423]

Jane, you are such a good teacher! You make everything to understand. I do understand that when I try your techniques because of my inexperience I’m not getting same results,but your explanations make me believe that with practice I may eventually get there!! 😊

[@judithtetley6672]

You are a delightful tutor. Your gentle voice and clear instructions instil confidence that anyone can paint with a palette knife. A lovely step by step guide for me to try my first ever painting with a palette knife....keen to have a go now...thankyou !

Thank you so much, Judith

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

[@cathytully9029]

Hi Jane 😊. Did you know that your voice is very nice to listen to? It makes a world of difference!! I always read the other comments trying to find something that wasn't mentioned tee hee. Your recovery of the falling pallet knife was awesome. Not even a blink...you make me smile. It's still amazing that I met you in real person time!!! I'm back in Calgary and setting up my painting room here and looking forward to painting this one. Still nervous of the pallet knife; like when you where doing the stems I thought it might pop right through the canvas. Looking forward to next week's video.

[@alidalittle491]

So great Jane and as it is such a clear simple project and well done tutorial, it is very encouraging to be able to accomplish a piece that looks great. Thank you so much. I loved the 'walk in the rain' and am looking forward to doing this one. Could you do something with brighter colors as well? Again, thank you!

[@dianarush3383]

Hi Jane - I enjoy painting with you. I am a beginner, but you are easy to follow, and my projects look great to me - glad I found you on the 'tube'.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Diana! I'm so glad you're enjoying painting!

[@tomhoffmann6742]

You explain and walk through techniques very well. I learned about about continuing a painting with a wet background so the texture doesn't set up and make it difficult to add the rest. That was very helpful. I understand that clearly now but would not have thought of it. Thanks!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Tom! I'm so glad you found it helpful :D

[@inspiredcaroline24]

So it's 3 years, almost, since you painted this absolutely beautiful poppy canvas..... I can tell you, for me, it feels like you could have done it yesterday. The abstract look and stunning colours give a contemporary yet ageless quality to it. Thus it will always be relevant! I learnt so much from watching you. Being into mixed media, I do use palette knives but didn't realise how different edges and uses of, make such a difference. My mother really wants me to do poppies for her and as I am no artist per say, I desperately needed some hints and tips. Your video has given me that in bucket loads, lol. I certainly think I can now at least try. Thank you very much for sharing your creativity and experience. Your poppies are truly delightful! C👌🎨🐾🐾

[@MrsPatJones]

Excellent instructions and showing of techniques. I hadn't a clue how to use a palette knife but now I do! Very inspiring. thank you

[@mikespeartree1]

I love these beginner's projects. You make it seem so straight forward and yet the results look really impressive. Thanks for your careful instruction and wonderful creativity.

[@micheleguthrie6891]

What a wonderful instructional video! I've never painted with a palette knife before, but you make it look so easy that I had to give it a try. It's taking a little practice, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Thanks so much for opening up a whole new way of working with acrylics to me. You're a excellent painting instructor!

[@julievickers45]

Hi Jane can't wait to have a go at painting these poppies with a pallet knife. I think you are amazing. Your videos are so easy to follow what a brilliant teacher you are, hope my painting resembles yours a little bit I will be so chuffed.. Love julie x

[@gailrochefort-potts8431]

Love your painting style and your way of teaching.... I really like working with the palette knives, funny I feel I have more control with them. Keep making the palette knife paintings please! First time I put paint to canvas was your city scene.... I left out a lot of changes in colour but I like it for a first time and can't wait to try the Poppies now.

[@carolineturner3148]

I love this technique and will be trying it. Thank you for explaining the use of a palette knife in such a way that my mind somehow comprehends it!!!! The Poppy is a particular favorite of mine! Thanks so much for sharing your love of art! It's just beautiful.
