Misty River II - Step by Step Acrylic Painting on Canvas

In this tutorial, we'll be creating a serene landscape featuring a tranquil stream winding through a misty field under a soft, diffused moonlight. We'll explore techniques for capturing the ethereal atmosphere, including blending subtle gradients and detailing the bare trees to evoke a sense of calm and quietude. Join me as we bring this peaceful scene to life with acrylic paints.

A few years back my spinal injury found your channel. Always wanted to learn. You kept me sane through my therapy, painted all the time with your videos, I can outwalk anybody again and have painting skills/evidence on my walls. Stay stunning. ❤

Like an old master. En grise. The dead layer. Brilliant Jane. 👏👏👏

Jane, I do spend time now and then watching "Live" painting presentation. I really like how you merge the painting demonstration previously recorded with the active on line chat responses. This is the best of both worlds. You do great.

This is so great and the way you teach makes me think I could do this. I went from beginner acrylics to watercolor. I'm thinking I could go back to acrylics and try this one. Jane, I did paint your window with the raindrops! That was awesome!

[jeffiner]

I have painted one of your tutorials and I had no idea what I was doing. Brand new. You made it so clear I was able to follow. It's one of my favorite paintings and it hangs on my wall. I tend to forget that I painted it. It's your art that is beautiful. I love what comes out of your head. You are unique among art teachers for beginners. Your art is perfect for adults who want to learn. Thank you for being such a great teacher and artist.

I'd love a video where you share some of your favorite pieces.
