- While on our recent camping trip, I found myself surrounded by juniper trees that all had such unique personalities! This one in particular was standing alone in the middle of a clearing, practically begging me to paint it! So I did :)

what a wonderful teacher you are Jane ... thank you. I love that you're doing today's painting en-route in your little camper van ....
Thank you so much, Susan!!
I just want to say that I am so very grateful to you, you not only teach us how to achieve the results we want, you also teach us that it is okay not to paint everything completely flawlessly, you teach us at the same time (at least for me) a good way to deal with anxiety, not just for painting, but also generally.
And the only way to learn is to make mistakes, that´s a lesson I got to learn from my grandmother as a child, still applies in every aspects in your life :)
So, thank YOU for sharing :)
And I hope you´re having (or had) an awesome time on your camping trip! :D
Thank you so much, friend. That means a lot to me 💛💛
Love this tree and your color choices. Very soothing. Have an awesome summer!
Isn't that color palette gorgeous? So serene! I love it! 😀
Thank you both so much!!!
Camping was always my favorite thing to do and I hope you and Vince get to do a lot of it all Summer long. Love this painting! Thanks Jane!
Beautiful , thank you for sharing your love of painting and helping everyone to understand that it’s not as daunting as it looks . Thank you , I am going to watch a few more of your videos then I will paint one of your painting tutorials . Thank you 👍
Thank you so much, Lorraine! I'm glad I can help out! I would love to see what you do
This one is actually one of my favorites. Gorgeous
JANE OMG YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!! AND YOUR DOING SO MANY GREAT THINGS NICE TO SEE YOU SHINING SO BRIGHT!!!!
Wow! So little paint to make such dynamic landscape. Can't wait to try.
you look so beautiful today!!!!so relaxed! camping agrees with you
Thank you so much, Tonya
Jane, what areas of this beautiful country will you be visiting? It is so great that your are 'on the go' and capturing what you see. We all appreciate that you give us some of your valuable time to share parts of your adventure. We can travel with you and be with you for a small part of the day. This is a great image and pleasant painting.
Thank you Jane. Great lesson and a lot of fun, made my day. Thanks for spending time with us while out and about, camping is so inspiring!
I'm in love with this painting, that I started trying it on my own at home.
Just Finished this lesson! I love painting with you - so much inspiration given - which I really need right now. I like my little spring desert painting and am eager to start another one of your lessons soon!
Thank you so much,I love the way you teach ❤️ stay safe and have amazing travels
I love her voice is so calming
I have been following you for some time now and I thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, your talent, and your encouragement to us, especially newbies like me. I, too, am traveling this year in a small camper, currently in Utah and have seen plenty of odd shaped junipers, but never thought to paint one! I, too, am wanting to paint plein air, and am excited to follow you through your experience with it. Perfect timing for me as we explore our beautiful country and I try to capture the moment on canvas.
Where are you in Utah!? That's where I live!
I wish you a good time in the camper and have wonderful holidays. Thank you for your teaching I have so much fun!
Jane, I just finished this lesson and I love the result. Thanks so much!
I think you do the best skies, Jane...always so interesting.
I love that you are painting while camping.. I always pack a bag of painting supplies so I can paint while camping. I hope you consider a retro camper painting in the future.
I love that you are painting in the camper. We have recently gotten one too, and it's one of the things I look forward to doing.
Thank you for sharing your travels and painting. I love the use of your limited palette colors and space! Looking forward to watching this summer!
Thank you so much, Ida! I think we're going to paint some fun things this year!
I miss the desert and could always find something to paint. Loved your video. Thanks
watching this video with new perspective i really like the technique. it looks like a water color. I really like what you said encouraging experimenting. Sometimes I hear your words but they dont settle. i guess its part of the process of growing as an artist. Thank you for sharing. big hugs and love. stay well. Hi Vince.
Beautiful painting.. Love this one!
Jane, this is coming out so well done. I do think it is one of your very strong paintings. It is so great that you are traveling and able to capture your feelings on canvas. I had the opportunity to visit an exhibit at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art that was the "The Beyond". this was a great exhibit including many of the works of O'Keeffe and the works of many contemporary artists who were working in some of her styles. One artist, Cynthia Daignault had produced many 8x10 inch paintings as she traveled from one coast to the other. The exhibit had 360 paintings. These were very quick, fresh, and lively. She took many photos and then worked at the studio to complete this work. So, I feel what you are doing is so exciting and this will be a trip that is captured in the paint brush strokes. So well done, Jane. Thanks for sharing.
You have such a nice soothing voice. I would like listening even if I wasn’t painting along. 😊
Nice! I'm lovin' that sky.
Thank you so much!!
that looks awesome
So peaceful Jane... love the colours...and happy adventurous camping!!
Thank you so much, Avril!!
Lovely work as always. I think your channel is the most interesting one in my group of Favorites.❤ I love painters that engage my mind... you always do in terrific ways. THANK YOU!
Happy Travels to you both!
DeAnn, thank you so much!!! What a lovely comment.
Omg..this is so serene and gorgeous! I can't wait to try it when I have time. Thank you for another incredible video, Jane! 😊
You're so welcome, Michelle! Thank you so much!
I like the colour combination very much. we have such landscapes near our home .
I am really looking forward to the plein air. And loving the traveling Artist.
Thank you, Cathy! I'm really excited to explore plein air with you guys too!
Hermoso!
Jane, you are truly extraordinary and you looked so beautiful in this video. I love the painting and again I learned so much. Thank you !!!
Thank you so much, Ilona 💛💛💛
Thanks for sharing your inspiration, this painting is amazing. :)
That was a joy to watch. I'm still trying to learn to use the brushes correctly, and noticed that you rarely got any paint near the ferrule, whereas mine is often into and over it. Oh, my, I think that's going to be my best lesson so far. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much, Vickie! Sometimes I do get paint all up into and over the ferrule, lol. I don't worry about it. I know a lot of people actively try not to, but when I get in my messing painting mode, it happens :)
@@PaintingwithJane Oh...shoot. Then it's something else. I'll just keep watching and trying, and I'll go easy on the brush loading to see what happens. Trial and error and having fun.
awesome 👍
Thankyou for sharing your trip going into Winter here in New Zealand brrr!
Man, I wish I could bring my little camper to NZ. It's right up there at the top of my list of places to see someday
bonsoir Jane , superbe tableau, j adore vraiment ,!!!!!
Jane i've camped in a scamp slept front bunk against front wall great for two, and watched the painting great job.
Thank you so much, George! You slept on the top bunk?! I'd be so afraid I'd fall off in the middle of the night, lol!
Aww Jane I LOVE your little camper so much!!! You two enjoy and be safe!!! If u happen to make it down here let me know I would love love love meeting u in person, u would have a stowaway....LOL I cant wait to hear all about your trip and see all u find to paint!! This one is beautiful! Sending lots of love!!!
Thank you so much, dear friend 💛
Hermoso paisaje
Gracias
Saludo y bendiciones
Muchas gracias, Esther!!
Super Jane. It's very beautiffyl.😗
Thank you so much!!
I love to watch you paint and listen to your beautiful soothing voice and all the instructions you give I have always wanted to paint and never had the guts or the time finally the day has arrived and with your help and your tutorials its happening of course baby steps but a lot of fun.
quick question pls is magenta same as quinacridone magenta?
hello Jane! i enjoyed painting this desert. I m painting many of your videos ,but i struggle with the trees i found very difficult to make the relief and the texture. Also struggling with the thin lines, i found difficult to use thin brushes. Thanks for your work , i m wainting every new video!
Thank you, Dimitra! Please don't discouraged with trees and fine lines. Everything comes with practice. Those aren't things that I've always been able to do either. Keep working at it and just celebrate the little improvements you see along the way. I promise you'll get there! 💛
@@PaintingwithJane Thank you Jane! I love your spirit and originality! Cherching of tutorials all over youtube , you are the more positive person and incarnation of the philosophy that art is joy and relaxation! Painting with you, is as a paint with a good friend!Also i like your unique style, not only in painting but in real life. Have i wonderful summer!( im waiting for your new tutorial, i check very often.)
😍
You look so much like the main actress in the handmaids tale! Random but true
Ha! I actually hear that quite a bit, lol.
I wondered if you did lol I couldn’t be the only one to see it x
Another comment, Jane.....I don't think anyone can beat your trees.....
We're up in the Wasatch mountains. We spent 6 weeks in southern Utah in all those beautiful National Parks. We have a small fiberglass trailer, a Casita, back in Maine, but we are in a mid size RV for this long trip. what part of Utah are you from?
Question, what do you do with your pallet when you’re finished? Do you use the stay wet pallet? Please talk about pallet use
Hi, Valerie!! No, I don't use a stay-wet palette because I only put out little bits of paint at a time. I rarely have enough paint left over to worry about saving/wasting. When I'm done with a paper plate palette, I just let it dry, and I'll typically reuse it again and again and again. A glass palette, once it's dry, I spray it with a water bottle and then scrape it off with a palette knife. If you can get a handle on paint management, there's rarely a need for a stay-wet palette, unless you're doing a lot of plein air painting. Just make sure you're putting out very small amounts of paint. Remember that you can always get more paint! I hope that helps!
Jane, very nice painting. I will be interested in seeing you do some en plein air painting. I am also interested in giving it a try, but I wonder how the acrylics will do outside. I assume they will dry even faster in the sun and wind? I have only rarely seen any artist paint en plein air using acrylics vs. oils. By the way, I agree with others here that you look particularly beautiful in this video...must be all the fresh air!
Thank you so much, Chris! The cool thing with acrylic is that you have so many mediums at your disposal that can make it easier. That and the very nature of plein air pretty much demands that you paint a little differently than you do in the studio. If you're trying to capture the essence of a scene, you may only have a few minutes to do so before it really changes, so you have to work quickly. I'm really looking forward to exploring those things with all of you!!
@@PaintingwithJane Perhaps think about using Golden Open acrylics when doing outside painting? I've seen someone online use them en plein air and said they really made a difference. Of course, that would require you have to have whole separate set of paints just for your outside painting :-(
That was great Jane, so pretty. Do you ever give out the name(s) of the music you listen to? This was the first time I really heard it well. It's quieter in your home. Thank you!
Thank you, Peggy! Yes, I typically do, but the music I used in this video I got from a different source, and they don't really have names. It's just stock music. Typically, at the bottom of the video description, there's a title and link :)
Thanks for the reply!
Hello .
Thanks gor the lively video!
Wht does the matt medium do in this painting ?
Thank you so much! I prefer matte medium to water. I typically don't use a lot of water because the matte medium is more versatile, helps with blending, makes the paint a little more transparent if I want it to be, and keeps it wet just a little longer than water :)
@@PaintingwithJane Thank you very much
Does this mean a live stream is coming soon? Or something else?
P.s. I was your 5th like🤓
Yes, it's the release of the Tuesday painting session with Jane! She answers questions and talks you through the painting. You can watch, paint along or watch it later during your free time. Jane is the best!
Us Martians don't make mistakes.....
Just happy little accidents 👽
Jane, make palette knife only painting again. :-)
I'll see what I can do!
Very shaky! Hard to watch without getting dizzy.
She's in a moving camper. 😊
I know, I apologize. It gets better, and the next one won't be anywhere near as bouncy! Everything's a learning curve :)
