Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this video, I’ll be showing you how to paint a mystical moon and tree on a mysterious, misty background.
This is a good lesson for beginners and up!
I’m painting on a 12x16 in stretched canvas, but you can paint on any type and size of canvas you like.
The brushes I use are:
• A one-inch flat brush
• A 5/8-inch angle brush
• A 3/8-inch angle brush
• A half-inch round natural bristle brush
I’m using Liquitex Basics acrylic paints in the following colors:
• Mars Black
• Titanium White
• Primary Red
• Prism Violet

Thank you for watching!
You're process of instruction is fabulous! I so appreciate your awareness of your audience. You make me want to continue to explore painting. Thank you!
+ceegee57 Wonderful!! I hope you do :D Thank you for your kind words, too.
I love your step by step painting technique. By you explaining each step and making it look simple, that in turn has helped me overcome my "I can't do that" frame of mind. Thank you.
I've been struggling with finding my 'style' of painting, I tend to use a lot of brush strokes and it can look quite messy. You are so good at describing what you're doing, it really is helping me to enjoy putting paint to canvass rather than struggling with each stroke. Thank you so much.
this is the first photo I ever painted with Jane and it turned out good for a first try thanks to my amazing teacher
My daughters and I had a painting party last night. We used another artist's video as a guide. We had great fun, but I think we all agreed that we didn't need the unnecessary and irrelevant repartee between the artist and her cameraman.
I
We still had great fun, and were pleased with our results.
But I think I can learn a lot more about painting in acrylics watching your videos
Thank you for encouraging me to get back to what I love most--creating art!
Janet
I used to paint over 20 years ago but fell out of practice. Your channel and methods make me seriously want to pick it all back up again! I think I'm going to try this beautiful moon and tree for my daughter. So glad I found you!!!
Thank you! I'm so excited for you to start painting again!
Just want to say, I recently found your site, and LOVE your style and your teaching ability. I have spent years 'wanting' to paint, and after watching your Mystical Moon video, I've actually put brush to canvas. I feel like I am in kindergarten; at age 68, it is a good feeling to have something brand new to do. Thank you for your inspiration.
You're so welcome, Glenda! I'm glad you decided to jump in and give it a go! ♥ Keep it up!
I have watched many tutorials on painting with acrylics and I have to say your's is one of the best. Which discounts the saying "those who can Do and those who can't, Teach. You can Do and you can Teach. Thank you Jane
+dancescoot You are so sweet! Thank you so much
I just watched 3 other videos on who to paint for beginners and none of them hold a candle to how well you explained the paint, texture, and how to hold a brush. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Great tutorial! You're a wonderful teacher and provide a lot of helpful information.
+Naked Eye Studio Thank you! I'm glad you like it :)
You are a superb teacher and I have learned so very much from you. Thank you so much and please don't ever stop love you Jane
You demonstrate so elegantly and allow beginners to retain the concept and understand exactly what you are doing
TKU ❣️🦋🥰🌟
Jane i have never painted in my life. I cant even draw a stick person seriously. My daughter had some brushes here and paint so I watch your video and thought I would try. My husband came in and ask were I bought the painting he could not believe I did it. You are great with instructions and I love that you explain why and how to use brushes. Thank You . I can't believe I can paint.
Thank You for making these videos. I have seen a few and decided I would try Mystical Moon. After watching it a couple times I winged it instead of painting it step by step with the video and am very happy with the result. This was only my second painting, obviously this is all new to me and I've learned a lot from your videos. They are well made and full of great information, and You are gorgeous which makes them even more pleasing to watch. Thanks again!
Hello, your explanations could not be better, there is much love in your work .
Thank you for sharing your knowledge .
+Gerardo Perez Costa Thank you so much, Gerardo!
Simply beautiful and it looks so easy but I know it takes practice.....thank you
this is probably the most helpful video on painting I've ever watched
Wow! Thank you so much
I LOVE painting with you. This is one of the first paintings I did 4 yrs ago when I started painting. I loved watching it again & will do over. Thank you
Jane, the really turned out so well done. You make painting look fun. I over design ideas for paintings to the point that I never get out the paint. I feel that I have done it so many times in my head that I never get to the canvas. This was fun to see how it all came together.Now, I know that you answered a question about Bob Ross. You also mentioned when you were a young girl (a few years ago) you and your mom watched Bob Ross and Bill Alexander. I did the same many years ago. Bob Ross had such a soft, pleasing voice that would always put me to sleep. I wanted to watch, but after coming in from working outside, I would relax, watch him, and then fall asleep and miss part of the program.Confession, After starting work at one thirty this morning on an emergency call, after a thunderstorm, I came back at noon, sat down to the computer, turned on this video, and you guessed it,. Your soft, calming voice put me to sleep. The video was interesting, but I was warn out from the early morning job. I will need to watch parts of t his again. This was a great demonstration. thank you.
Yay!!! I'm getting closer to being Bob Ross! :D Thank you, Michael
I just did the mystic moon painting. Love how you take the time to explain everything and you are not speeding through the paint process. You are showing us the brushes and how to use them. I have a hard time with trees and the brush strokes. I will be painting with you more often!!
Thank you so much, Suzanne!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Never give up on the things that are hard. They'll get easier the more you do them
I love the music during this video....it helps concentrate and be at peace while watching. Thank you. I seemed to absorb information so much better with calming music playing.
Thank you, Sharlene! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yes, some mellow music really helps get into the mindspace needed while painting
Hi! I just found your channel this evening and I have to say you're an incredible teacher!!
I'm going to ATTEMPT the awesome rainy window painting. I really would love to learn to paint and find my style, but for now all I can barely do is just paint what you guys teach.
Just wanted to thank you and say I'm happy to have found your channel😃
Thank you so much, Christina!!! I'm so glad you found me and I would love to see how your paintings turn out! If you're on Facebook, you can join our group. It's a super supportive and wonderful group
i just started painting and i been playing it off for awhile cause i thought il be hopeless at it, since i know absolutley nothing about paintin but you made it less daunting then it appered to me and i learn alot from this one video so far, so many thanks, loving the videos!!
I cannot thank you enough for creating your channel. I have wanted to paint ever since I was a child and I now at 52 getting to do this dream. Thanks for all your tutorials

You're so welcome, Bell! Thank you for watching :)
yes good lessons.
Rose girl Oishe it's not rall it's rell

Joanne Ferrat
My friend & I painted this one. You are right when you say the black can get away from you & take over the painting. But I still think our paintings came out okay. I posted a picture on facebook. Thanks for you wonderful videos.
30:00-31:37 changed the way I paint forever. I truly believe that small segment grew my experience by atleast a year in a mater of minutes. Thank you.
Awesome!! I love to hear that!! Keep it up ♥
Thank you so much for showing how to pick up different colours and create that amazing brush strokes.. now I can use this technique while practising other paintings.
+Riji Johnson You're welcome! I love to paint that way :)
Love this one Jane. Looks like a face in the middle of your moon. Pretty cool
+Elizabeth Kilbride Thank you, Elizabeth :D
Love, love, Looovvvve this! 👍 👏 😁 🌟 Thanks so much for your time and help Jane You're totally AWESOME! 💟 Art 👹 high five!!! 💟 😀
I love it
Ive learned sooooo much from this video alone. Big colorful thank you.
I just watched your Blazing sun. I've been looking for something to paint to put on my patio and the Sun would be perfect. my house is light yellow, and i use reds as my accent colors. Super excited to start getting things ready for spring. And I vote for a complimentary moon painting. Thanks again Jane, love your art.
+Pam Kiser That sounds perfect for you, Pam!!! I'll be doing a moon soon :D Thank you
Your art is great and you really are a great teacher as well as an Incredible Artist.
You are excellent. Many can paint, but they cant explain as frankly as you.
Thanks for this video! I just got finished painting this and considering it was my first time ever, I don't think it's too bad. Your explanations are so clear, especially for people who have no experience in visual art.
+Ashley Wutke Yay for first painting!!!! Congrats, Ashley. I'd love to see :D facebook.com/PandemoniumArtVideos/
The music is equally mystical, a superb video. Thanks v much.
Thank you, Beyoke
I just had to say thank you for putting up these videos. I know clicking like helps but I've watched almost all of your videos and I'm so excited to feel like maybe I can do a few of these at home.
+Lisa Rowett Thank you so much, Lisa
l love your trees i have learned so much from you over the years thanks so much Jane!!
You are a great teacher! I actually learned in your video! Awesome job. Many people make videos and I never get tips from them. Good job
I can't even draw a straight stick BUT, I am sure going to try this. I love it! Thank you for doing this. I'll share my end results.
+Debbie Phillips I can't wait to see, Debbie! Also, you're in luck. There are no straight sticks in this painting :D
I love the way you have done this painting. Not sure if you realized it but at about 10:21 into the video if you look at around the center of the canvas you can see a little girls face in the painting. So kewl.
This was the first painting tutorial I ever followed. I was happy with my result. I cannot wait to try this again now that I've got a little more experience painting. Thank you for your teaching style and videos
Thank you, Sarah!! Keep painting and learning, friend! ♥
You are great , good explanations . I love the tips . Your style of teaching is great
Thank you so much
Love Painting with Jane! Janes directions are clear, and the outcome is beautiful, especially non-artistic people like me :)
Aaaw, thank you so much! That means a lot to me ♥
Jane, awesome video. A friend of mine sent me a picture of a moon rise over the ocean from a dock in Florida and I had no idea on how to get started attempting to paint it. This certainly helped!
I cannot stop watching your videos. You have an unique style and it touches me in a way I cannot explain. I wish I had all this talent!
You're so sweet. Thank you so much!! Honestly, it's not talent. It's just a lot of practice. I wasn't a painter 3 years ago. Don't underestimate the power of practice
I love your tutorials! You are helping me so much!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
+Angela Lind Aaaw, I'm so happy to hear that, Angela!
Thanks for taking the time to really show and explain what to do. I’m just learning to paint and have never taken a class or anything but you make it so easy to understand and follow. It makes it possible for someone like me who has no experience to be able to start somewhere.
This is my first painting lesson. Thank you. It was an amazing lesson.
I wish I could sit under that tree and have a hot cup of tea :) .....lovely
+Ishwarya Mahe That does sound lovely, doesn't it?!
Beautiful! I love how you take your time and actually allow us as the followers to follow each step. So many videos go way to fast and its easy to get lost or behind.
+Chelsea Frustaglio Thank you, Chelsea! I know, that was one of my main frustrations when I was first learning how to paint. When I started making videos, I wanted to make sure that I gave as much information as possible. I'm so glad you like it :)
+Painting with Jane This technique is so amazing! Like you mentioned just try slapping some colors over your palet and you can create a beautiful canvas! I'm a late starter in the acrylic painting world lol. My mom and brother and late grandma are fabulous painter's. My mom and I started going to these small classes in town and I was hooked! I bought a small easel, paint, and brushes! I love to paint!
Chelsea Frustaglio Hey, better late than never!! I'm pretty late to the game, too. I've only been painting seriously for about 2 years. Keep at it
+Painting with Jane I love your art! Very talented 😊
Chelsea Frustaglio Thank you
I was very inspired by this but I fell in love with the sunset colors I was using and couldn't go through with turning it into night but id love to show you what I ended up with :)
Thank you so much! This demonstration was soothing! Will try it for sure.
Thank you, Bridgette! I hope you enjoy :)
hi Jane! you are a wonderful teacher! The first time in my life I painted! I never thought I can paint. Thank you!
I have so much learning from your videos. Thank you Jane. I wish I could show you my results .
Thank you, Dee! Join our group on Facebook! facebook.com/groups/ArtMonsterSquad/
Will do ... thanks

Great video-and painting. You are a natural teacher. I will give the painting a try and I will work on the homework...maybe I'll do the homework first and then the painting!! Thanks again.
+Diane Tobin Perfect idea :D Yay, Diane!
I would love to see paintings shared and for you to talk about them. What a great idea!
+Chris Stone That's the plan!!! Thank you, Chris :D
Oh this was fun!! I got confused with you calling red pink tho and had to go back a few times and check I was using the right colors. Again thank you 👏🏼👏🏼☺️💕
This was my first at home painting, and I'm super thrilled with how it turned out.
Congrats, Kathy!!! Keep it up! :D

The moon is simply awesome with the brush strokes. I just started painting this year and the instructions are great!

You're so welcome, Caitlin! I hope you do decide to. Art is such a wonderful thing to have in your life
You are an amazing teacher. You have got me painting again, although not the best, I'm loving it. I love how you explain things in detail. I'm definitely a beginner and need the steps and the encouragement. Thank you for sharing and your help! Trying this painting tomorrow!❤🎨
Hi! Jane! Am a 15 year old kid...and am really amazed and astonished by yr paintings and videos....actually I hav recently started doing canvas painting with oil colors.....so I request you to please keep oil painting canvas tutorials ..please?

I absolutely love how you teach while we apply it to our paintings. This is only my second canvas, but I felt so at ease. Great job!
Thank you so much, Matthew! I'm so glad I could help you! I hope you keep it up
+Painting with Jane, it was slightly humorous reading the comment, for I didn't know I was signed in under my husbands account.
Matthew Jackson LOL!
Thank you so much and very much interested of painting. It's really a Big help for me to learn.
Great video and teaching style. Thanks
+bill king Thank you, Bill!
I love your work and I love this painting. I'm a beginner and I think I'm going to follow along with the background that you did here, but I sketched some elephants and I'm thinking about transferring them onto the canvas instead of doing your tree. Thanks so much for sharing your very great videos with us!!
+Cindy Chambers Thank you, Cindy! I can't wait to see your elephants!! :D
Absolutely love this, thank you for the fab videos, Mandy

+Dulce Morales
hi Jane I loved the painting of the moon and tree I can't wait to give it a go
I absolutely love this video. !!! Man, I'm in love lol. Thank you sooo very much. I'm just getting into painting with acrylic. Totally awesome.
Thank you so much, Theresa!! I'm so excited for you! You have an awesome journey ahead of you.
Yes I would love to belong to your blog. I will be painting this tonight and starting on my homework. That is so great getting homework lol. Thanks Jane.
+Cathy Tully Awesome :D Maybe my first vlog will be on everyone's homework ;)
+Pandemonium Art Videos will it might be a challenge for me...I called it a blog...guess it's a vlog cause it's on video? Lol. Do u use primary red because it's not transparent like cad red?
Nope, I used primary red because it's way more pink. You could use cad, but you'll get a much more true red, and it might not blend with the violet so well. If you want to use cad red, I'd use diox purple.
