Starry Night at Stonehenge Step by Step Acrylic Painting on Canvas for Beginners

[@clairesmith1964]

I'm lucky enough to be able to visit stonehenge anytime. It's a truly amazing place. You would love it. The countryside is beautiful. I'm lucky to live in a beautiful country. I love this painting

[@evatoney6493]

Jane I love how u see the world!! It's perfect and so fun to do!! Keep making these beautiful fantasy skies and your creepy trees!! You rock it girl!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so, so much, sweet Eva

[@valsawicki9266]

Went to Stonehenge a few years ago... did not expect to be impressed... however was blown away amazed...truly unique and worthwhile... historic presentation was really well done ... so glad you are doing this painting ... brings back lovely memories with a unique twist

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Val! I'm glad you like it, and I hope painting it helps preserve those lovely memories for you too

[@lazychef5169]

So wonderful to see our beloved Stonehenge depicted with such a powerful sky, thank you Jane. You are such an inspiration :)

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Sami!! That means a lot to me

[@n3Cr0ManCeD]

Yet another wonderful tutorial. You're a natural as a teacher. If you're not already a teacher by trade, you could be! Update: I've been having a lot of fun with this technique. Thanks again!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much! Yes, I love teaching people. I think doing these videos pretty much makes me a full-time teacher by now, lol.

[@kittahlove4548]

I never ever thought there would be an actual painting tutorial of Stonehenge. Wow. Thanx alot.

[@georgehardwicke271]

Hi Jane, I'd been waiting for your next tutorial and was pleasantly amazed and pleased that you did ' The Henge' as I live about 30 miles from it. You all over there , me all over here , it's like you done it just for me. You're the best teacher on my IPad. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to paint. Thank you ,thank you thank you xxxx

[@georgehardwicke271]

P.s I'm Julie Hardwicke, George is my son .

[@PaintingwithJane]

Haha!! Thank you so much, Julie!! I'm so jealous. I dream of visiting "The Henge" some day. It's a places I've been fascinated with my whole life.

[@michaelparry1383]

Jane, again another great and fun painting. This brings back memories when my wife and I had the opportunity to visit Stonehenge many years ago (1971). Back then they would allow you to actually walk between the stones. That day it was a very damp and grey day. It was kinda spooky because we were the only ones there. There were no other people (well, those that we could see anyway - oooooooo). I really like your painting. You demonstrated so may great techniques on the sky. the simple highlights on the stones really set it off. Those little bumps on the top of the vertical stones were carved to fit into hollowed holes on the bottom surface of the cross piece stones to lock them in place. Many centuries ago, this was the first full sized, heavy duty, Lego set. Great work, Jane.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Wow, Michael! I'm so envious of your trip. That's a dream of mine, and I know I'll never have that same experience

[@baynerw]

Jeez o peet Jane, keep up your passion for educating us on painting and you will be able to afford to go one day and a youtube artist celebrity may allow them to let you walk among the stones, so you could paint them. Hey! Doesn't hurt to wish good on someone else, right? Time keeps ticking Lady. Go for it.

[@PaintingwithJane]

baynerw Oooooh, you just gave me a new goal!! Thank you

[@lindahorton9488]

Breathtaking, and as I watch, not nearly as scary to accomplish as it looked at first. I believe my oldest grandson is getting this for Christmas...he likes this kind of ethereal imagery.

[@PaintingwithJane]

What a lovely gift, Linda!! I hope you have a wonderful time painting it

[@muhannadals3349]

You don't know how happy I am when I see ur videos. I appreciate your work. You are a star & my favorite artist and teacher. Wish you more & more success.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Aaaw, Muhannad, you're always so sweet. Thank you so much, friend

[@Katdmcm]

This painting makes me so happy I have been hoping someone would paint Stonehenge and everything that you’re throwing in with it is wonderful thank you so much

[@alinserea4179]

Hi my friend. Congratulations on the wonderful video you shared. Very interesting, thanks for sharing, keep in touch. Wishing you much success with your work,💞.❤,❤.

[@andreequaziz2126]

je suis française et je n'arrive pas à tout comprendre de vos leçons. mais je regarde avec des yeux émerveillés toutes vos oeuvres. c'est absolument génial. je peinds aussi et vos tutos sont précieux. merci.

[@lucybonal980]

This is absolutely, the most amazing, BEAUTIFUL sky! Thank you Jane for another fantastic lesson. You are the best!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you SO much, Lucy

[@debbaize4271]

Thanks. I learned today what I am doing wrong on my splatters. You explained it beautifully. You are a great teacher. You explain the techniques so well. I have learned so much from watching you.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help. Splattering seems like it should be so easy, but it's really easy to struggle with, isn't it? lol.

[@debbaize4271]

Yes it is. I kept getting big blobs and the string effect not really what I wanted. Lol

[@PaintingwithJane]

D Rose Make sure your paint isn't too wet. That can make that happen. Also, remember to hold your brush straight up and down, not angled toward the canvas. See if that helps!

[@annadavis4205]

Love it !Drove by Stonehenge on the way to hospital in the middle of the night to have my son almost 30 years ago seemed so surreal so quiet and magical and It made me less scared lovely painting .Think I might try and paint this and give it to my son thankyou so much I love your work.

[@suecap4985]

This one took my breath away. Can not wait to paint it. Thank you for all you do💗💗💗

[@PaintingwithJane]

Aaw, Sue, thank you so much!

[@angels.435]

Jane, I just wanted to let you know that I have learned more about painting from watching you than I have learned from all the art classes I've ever taken. I love all your videos. Big fan! Thank you.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Aaaw, Angel, thank you so much!! That really means a lot to me

[@paulahislop222]

After a good few hours, lots of remodelling and a whole heap of resilience I have finished my version of this. Jane, you made it look easy and your instructions were brilliant but even so it was a challenge, especially as I have only been painting since Christmas. The way you presented it gave me the confidence to carry on and I am really pleased with the result. Thank you so much for caring enough to share your talent with us like this.

[@KBats]

Excellent tutorial. I've been painting with acrylic for a few years now, but I've never managed to achieve the depth I was looking for in space/skyscapes. I have an abundance of mediums that I'm still learning to use correctly, and this painting of yours is a prime example of how vital a medium can be to achieving a particular look without slaving over your canvas for months on end. Your technique is highly versatile, and will work well for a number of projects I've been considering. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@PaintingwithJane]

You're so welcome, Kate! I'm glad I could help you out! I'll also be doing a video soon about different mediums. Hopefully that will be helpful as well :)

[@kulcuthbert1]

OMG I went to STONEHENGE back in March 2016 - its only a two hour drive from where I live ! and you've painted it beautifully Thank You Jane for the lesson .... x

[@PaintingwithJane]

Oh my gosh, thank you SO much, Kul!!! Being that it's a real place, I was a little nervous at first, lol.

[@robincote9191]

Jane this is beautiful ,stunning and elegant at the same time. You went above and beyond thanks for sharing this !! your teaching is very clear and easy to follow too.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Robin!! I'm so glad you like it

[@MayYourGodGoWithYou]

Think I'll try this in acrylic first, see how I go and then repeat for myself using oils as I prefer using them. Have done a number of your lessons using oils and they have all come out really great, even had a couple 'taken' by friends to 'display for me' on their walls. You are a great teacher. Thanks.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Karen!! Let me know how it goes with oil. I'm curious about the glazing part.

[@MayYourGodGoWithYou]

tried to find your facebook page but it's not coming up, says page has been removed. I did a painting of the pyramids with a sort of similar effect in the sky and glazed it using first a pink glaze and then an orange glaze over the sky with a yellow ochre glaze over the sand. It has some out beautifully but I can't work out how to upload it to show you the effect. It is all done in oils although the original canvas was first painted in black acrylic, easier than finding a black canvas locally.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Karen Blackburn facebook.com/PaintingWithJane/ Here you go :) Yes, I always just paint the canvas black first. Nothing wrong with that :)

[@ΦαιηΙωαννου]

So beautiful!!!! Lot's of love from Greece. You are a wonderful teacher!!! Don't stop , keep on creating !!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much!!! You keep creating too, friend

[@kohkenny6179]

Ah ha Stonehenge, one of the greatest mysteries ever. Great art piece and nice funky green hair too.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Hey, thanks, Kenny!! :D

[@krisalasky6897]

This was by far the hardest painting I have done with you yet. It came out amazing! I only Painted over it twice LOL you are the best teacher ever!!!!!!!

[@dreamlessforever]

I have never seen this approach to space painting before but it is absolutely incredible! I was having trouble with it for a long time with the different way others have done it. you really made this easier, or maybe I just interpret your method better. I love your work, thank you!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much, Joan!! I hope this technique works better for you. Let me know how it goes!! :D

[@debbieeng2973]

I love the way you explain everything and the way you teach . makes me so inspire to paint

[@brittbrat1988]

This is very beautiful and slightly therapeutic to watch the transition from plain black canvas to a work of art. Thank you

[@cindychambers1588]

You have put a LOT of work into this as you do all of your paintings.. but I'm sitting here in awe as I watch you do this. This is just drop dead gorgeous Jane! Thanks so very much!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Oh, sweet Cindy. Thank you SO much, friend

[@donnnafox2820]

[@trishadullu7844]

Absolutely gorgeous sky. Love every bit of it. I think I am gonna stop at the black n white part for one painting and make stone hench as another 😉. So for me it's two in one. Loved it. Didn't realise it was ab hr long video untill it finished.

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you, Trisha!! That sounds like a lovely idea

Just wanted to say thanks for this tutorial... I just started out with acrylics and have been trying to find a way to paint the "cloudy star" effect. I can't wait to get started. Thanks again!

[@PaintingwithJane]

You're so welcome! I'm glad I could help

[@yetigirl40]

LOVE this!!!! I think this design, if I can quickly master it, is going to be my Christmas gift for a couple of people. Thank you for posting!

[@Starred111111]

I really love your work, Jane! I adore the way you explain things and relate them to each other. You're a wonderful artist and person😊

[@PaintingwithJane]

Aaaw, you're so sweet. Thank you

[@mar7542]

Hello Jane. You are great. I followed you and I tried to paint something similar to your stonehenge. Thank you very much, this is my first painting and thank you from my little country, Costa Rica

[@scottcombs6993]

I didn't have any brushes really suitable for scrubbing, and I was in Walmart, and of course I browsed the art aisle... They have a pack of 8 assorted stencil brushes that really look like they should scrub nicely for under $4. Just an FYI for everyone!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thanks, Scott! Yes, stencil brushes work well. Just make sure you don't scrub the same spot before it's dry, because it really will remove the paint!

[@terezatosovska1472]

Very beautiful painting! I tried to follow this tutorial and it turned out amazing. I also learned so many new things. You are amanzing, Jane, thank you very much!

[@kelymknowles1]

As always, Jane, you do such a phenomenal job of teaching. I really could have used someone like you when I was learning! This turned out very well. Reminds me of the Northern Lights painting. This technique is one that everyone will need, it's an extremely useful technique. I use a lot of glazing in some of my work. One of the pieces I have been working on recently is a diptych with, now, over 200 layers of glaze on each piece.

[@mayralopez780]

Hi, Jane, my son is painting... is his first time. :D Tks!! im happy!!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Oh, I'm so happy to hear this!!! I hope he has a wonderful time. Let me know how it goes :D

[@mayralopez780]

[@olelefufele7716]

I was at Stonehenge this summer and omg, now I really want to paint it! You inspire so much!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Lucky!! I want to go there so bad. Have a wonderful time painting!

[@Liasisws]

I did this a few years back and stopped at the galaxy...I turned out so awesome. Now that I forgot how to paint galaxies I am going to do the Stonehenge part as well! I just need to wait for my black background paint to dry :-| Thanks for all you do, you're my favourite teacher!

[@deborahjang4922]

Beautiful!!!...and so is the Painting!!! :) ....another one on my list of paintings to try and do!! Thanks Jane :)

[@PaintingwithJane]

Aaaw, shucks, Deb

[@anitacondon8734]

Jane, I love this tutorial!!! While it is nice to have the beautiful silhoette of the Stone Henge in the foreground...I miss seeing the spectacular work you did on the sky formations and colors. Speaking of those: Cloud, Nebula, Auroras...I felt so intensely drawn to them every step of the way as you created them with your brushes. As you explained in detail the ridges and "ribbon" effect of them turning, I saw it just as you did and even sometimes previous to your explanation. Your techniques are wonderful, your teaching style is very understandable, your talent is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing ths with us. Moving on to your personal style; I love the way you accentuate your beautiful eyes. The color in your hair on this video is so beautiful as well.

[@SllyGrrl74]

This was a great tutorial that my friend and I came across. We are regular PWAT attendees (a little over a year now) and have been wanting to branch out on our own a bit because their choices can be limiting and it gets expensive attending 2 classes a month at $35 a pop. I would definitely say this is more intermediate than beginners though, if I wasn't already experienced with some painting techniques I think I would have cried after a while lol, that being said your instruction was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed this. All in all our results did not come out nearly as beautiful as yours did but we were very happy with the finished products in the end. Will definitely be checking out more of your videos in the future!

[@NerdyForge]

I know this video is 6 years old but wanted to say thank you. First time painting a nebula/galaxy and while mine didn't turn out as good as yours, mine isn't the focal piece either. I've been working on a 7 layer, laser cut MDF, picture of Goku (anime in case anyone isn't familiar) and wanted a nebula style background that Goku overlaps. There are sections over his shoulders and between his hair that show the background. Got to say, your method just clicked with me and for my piece it turned out wonderfully. Subtle yet the added detail I was looking for. Thank you very much for creating this step by step. Helped me a ton.

[@marineloulou6656]

hello Jane Magnifique travail !!! Merci pour les leçons!!! 😘

[@PaintingwithJane]

Je vous remercie tellement, vous êtes les bienvenus.

[@galakari]

Oh! Theses colours! Loved it even without the stone henge - although I love The Stone Henge and the mystery around it! Love and light from cold Norway

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you so much! Ooooh, Norway is a place I need to visit!

[@galakari]

You are welcome, Jane! Up north we have the most awsome arora borealis! And lot's of nice places, fjords and mountains! But best in the summertime though - freezing cold in the winter!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Lady Whitefang I might have to come in the winter just to see the aurora

[@galakari]

Yes, it is pretty awsome! But I hate the snow and cold weather. Cars get stuck in the snow and everything goes a bit slower... I long for summer allready... Lol But that's me... I'm looking forward to your next painting tut though! (y) Take care!

[@NataliaBolel]

Thank you! This is the best night sky tutorial I have ever seen!

[@ArtistBrianSheffield]

Good to see the progression to more complex work. FYI. when purchasing pre-manufactured canvas you will have a line when scrubbing on the edges of the canvas due to the frame being squared on the backside. To eliminate this find a local frame maker that can eliminate this problem by having a sharp edge on the very edges and rounding off. With three quarter round stock this problem is solved when stretching the canvas and gives work to a local framemaker that helps support a local business and keeps the money you spend at a more local level and enriches the local community at large. Beautiful piece:)

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thanks! I just wiped a damp brush across the back and that tightened it right up :)

[@malaakrahal7819]

Thanks a lot for your information, your explanation so great . small things make a huge difference.

[@PaintingwithJane]

You're so welcome, Malaak. Thank you

[@mollivier7688]

Beautiful and great tutorial. I'm thinking that your process makes painting Northern Lights doable. Thx so much. MO

[@PaintingwithJane]

Thank you!! Yes, you could use a very similar technique! I did a northern lights video last year, but a totally different technique. I'll probably do another one sometime soon :)

[@randyangelshaug5141]

( Not to mention the painting is beautiful! ) You have an easy way of telling us what to do , how and why. I just really enjoyed it. Now subscribed I will be watching more. I love the fluid and pour painting I started doing about 3 months ago but I still want to paint with my brushes! My son in law would love a painting like this.

WOW! What a beautiful painting Jane, thank you so much. The ribbons of colour are stunning. I learned my lesson doing stars, the first time I did some I imagined the brush I was whacking was my ex :) I ended up covered in paint ha ha ha, that was a lesson learned in more ways than one :) ! I am more gentle now. I must get back into painting, I'd love to end up with one similar to this. THANKS Jane xxx

[@PaintingwithJane]

lol!! Yeah, don't picture the ex unless you want stars on ALL of the things! Haha. You haven't been painting? Aaaw, friend, you gottat get back to it! I would love to see what you do with this

soon, I hope :) xx

[@heatherfadden6569]

Amazing !!! This video, I love it!! No glazing medium yet but I'm doing it. It's almost done and when I get the correct supplies I'm wanting to do this on a bigger canvas !!!! Another one that is tops Jane !!

[@PaintingwithJane]

Awesome!! Thank you so much, Heather! I can't wait to see :D

[@bronzesnake7004]

BOING!!!!! Awesome boner (figuratively speaking) inducing painting!! So cool and calm also. My eldest son Michael has serious health issues and is disabled. He's a very highly skilled artists with pens, pencils etc, and he's also practicing with his new tattoo gun on oranges, and melons. I tried to get him interested in oil painting, which is my passion, besides music, when he was young but he wasn't interested. I finally convinced him to give it a shot, and I did help him, but very, very minimally, I simply guided the flow and speed of his hand as he began to use his brush strokes, and as soon as he got the feel I let go and he ended up creating an incredible landscape, which took me over a year to reach that level! I am obviously biased, but I do not lie, and I won't exaggerate, I didn't need to because the painting was truly that good and it was his first shot! When he realized it wasn't as difficult as we artists make it out to be, he dropped it! LOL!! He was around 10 years old when that happened. He's 31 now and is finally interested in painting, however he preferred the acrylics, which was absolutely fine by me!! For his first attempt I suggested he go with a black canvas, and so I gave him a Bob Ross giant 473 ml bottle of black gesso, and away he went!! So he started another landscape, this one had a fall setting sun scene which was just magical! I started searching around for acrylic artists using black canvases, and came across this site. We watched it together and were both amazed at the simplicity, and absolutely skilled beauty of the painting! This is a piece he can start off with, and work his way up. So thank you so much for actually posting an entire start to finish black canvas painting, I really, really appreciate it. So many others are posting five minutes of silent fast forward, and you have to pay for the full lesson, which I am absolutely fine with me. People should be paid for giving any lessons. This made your very generous full step by step lesson all the more incredible. So on behalf of my son Michael, and myself Jack - thank you very much! About to sub and like!! Which is ironic because I like subs! So...ya. Jack Canada

[@PaintingwithJane]

LOL, Jack!! Your message made me laugh. Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment. I'm so excited that you were able to get your son into painting! It sounds like art is in his blood. I looooove painting on black canvas, so I'm sure there'll be more :) I hope you and Michael keep making art together ♥♥♥

[@bronzesnake7004]

lol! Hey Jane.. I am so forgetful! What was your number again? OH! BOOM!! I'm going through your catalog of videos and I am just amazed at the different styles and subject matter! I see impressionist, post impressionist, some realism, and surreal you have it all!! How greedy!! lol! There's pieces which remind me of Van Gough, Seurat, Dali, Monet, Matisse, Seurat, Morisot and on and on! Quite amazing! You know, you have pieces which even bring literary masters to mind. Mr. Crow, is awesome!!! And brings up images of Poe! When did you start, are you trained or self taught? Where are you from?? Sorry, if these are too personal, I am just so enthusiastic with your work! You just don't see anyone with this level of skill, or the body of styles which you've created on-line doing free instructional! It's just not done! And so if these questions are too personal, no problem just tell me to eff off!! And I will! LOL! You've got a mega fan here young lady!! Jack - is coming to you from a secret location somewhere in the wiles of the Great White North in his stately manor, a six floor, 6,000 square feet multi level igloo guaranteed to hold up to at least one polar bear attack...almost for sure...ahhh...absolutely a possibility...ok, ok, a very strong maybe...alright, if a polar bear comes round to your stately manor igloo you are screwed! Yes, I have issues! Canada

This is just so stunning!! I'm excited and anxious to start introducing glazing into my paintings. 😊 I definitely feel more confident with your step by step instructions though. I think I'll be adding these mediums to my Christmas wish list.

Yay, Beth! Thank you so much. Have fun with glazing. It's one of my favorite things :D

First of all, love your hair. Not that my opinion matters a heck of a lot but you are an amazing artist.

This is such a beautiful fantasy background ... I'm Mesmerized watching you do this...:)

[@PaintingwithJane]

Aaw, thank you, Val

[@staciedecker9617]

I just can not do these clouds. you make it so effortless. This is a beautiful piece. I want to go where that sky is ;)

[@PaintingwithJane]

Oh man, I do too!!! Keep at it, Stacie. Scrubbing looks so easy, but just like anything, a little practice can really be helpful! Just grab a junk canvas and start scrubbing. Try it a thousand different ways with a thousand different brushes. You'll find the technique that works for you
