Acrylic Floral Painting with Jane Slivka Free & Loose 

As well, your assistant is perfect, so supportive and knowledgeable. She supports you when you are struggling to multi-task!! 💕

Thanks, Jane -- I'm watching this video for the first time today, and it's so inspiring! And the information that you give is so helpful (especially since I'm still beginning). Love your loose style, and your color mixes...along with your brush strokes!!!

First time viewing your channel and love this painting! I'm one of those painters that has trouble painting lose and this helped me see how I might possibly be able to accomplish something! Thank you and I'll be following you in the future!

I love your style! Your work reflects your chill personality. 💐

I liked and subscribed! I usually paint very precisely and realistically but now I have watched your beautiful artwork I may change my style to loose and juicy as you said 😂 thank you Jane for giving insight to another style of painting. Just love it absolutely stunning and vibrant!!! ❤️🙏🏻

I love hearing the comments from your videographer! I watch A LOT of painting videos, but I’ve never seen one that has comments from the videographer. She does clarify things to the viewer for you about colors, etc., which is great, but what really strikes me is the way it adds life and liveliness to your video. Good stuff!

Absolutely love your work and all you are saying in this video. It's a revelation to me. I care (and worry about the end result) far too much from the first stroke! You have given me courage and freedom and I can't wait to unleash the new me! Thank you 😁

I had to stop painting for a few years due to a rotator cuff operation and hip. Then felt frustrated with painting. I just watched this video and you really inspired me today. I have always had a hard time watching then trying to paint a exact flower or whatever. I somehow found myself going my own way with painting. I love how you loosely paint your flow is simply beautiful. Looking forward to a new beginning. I too like large canvases. Thank you. Enjoyed 🤗 Vicki from Canada 🇨🇦

Omg! This is brilliant, I love your approach and the result is gorgeous. It’s fresh and vibrant and effortless, though I know it takes some! This is how I would like to paint and I am excited to have a go. I messed up a canvas, so I will paint over it in red and just go for it! Thank you for sharing and hugs from the highlands of Scotland ❤

This is awesome and it was just what I was looking for!!!!

Yep, you’re right, Made me want to paint. I just started a loose flower painting while watching this. Thank you ❤

Love all your work and thank you so much xxxx

I love your work , I used to get frustrated and upset with my painting because I felt like I failed , I do enjoy painting but still find like I’ve lost a connection sometimes on how to paint my subject , I’m getting better but it’s been a struggle and still a challenge but I’m relaxing more these days . So many things you said in this video really resinates with me about painting , thanks for this awesome video.

Cannot tell you how glad I am to have found your videos. I’ve just started with acrylics and tried a vase Of flowers in this style 😱 would never have thought of drawing the flowers practically black but it works. I’ve def turned a corner tonight. Thank you so much ❤

Your video was so inspiring! Thank you.

I'm so glad you showed up in my feed! This is beautiful 💕

i NEVER THOUGHT OF COLORING THE background first and sucH a color! then to watch you go back over the background when your done an the different colors you got- makes the painting beautiful!!! i am just starting out but i had to give this a try-THANK YOU!!!!

Love your style and instructions.Soo glad I found you.❤

Wow! Just found you! Haven't even finished watching the entire video..but.. AMAZING!!! Love your style! Can't wait to try

This was my first experience watching your fabulous lesson of the BIG floral. It was terrific! I'll be back to see more in two weeks--can't wait. Thank you so much for presenting this.

Wonderful, Jane! Thank you so much, I'm so glad I found you and your channel!

I absolutely loved this lesson. I am so hit or miss with pieces I paint, plus I can't seem to get that loose stroke. I fuss and fret over details and then don't always like the results. I look forward to trying this, but I'm sure it will take me much practice to get close to the look, if ever. If I can just get better at it then that will be worth it all. I will def go check out your classes online, as well. Thank you for the wonderful lesson and pointers.

Love your videos so much, Jane - your technique, your personality, your teaching style! And, oh, my, the looseness! Yes, this is what we all want so Thank you so much for encouraging us! Cannot wait to see what you do next! Love from Massachusetts❤❤❤❤❤

That was SO much fun, and so stress free. Thank you very much I'll be painting tonight and I'm not nervous!

Hey you Painters! There is some real good advice and explanations in this video, like "Don't work in little sections or a little bit at a time". Some of my habits have been getting in my way while I've tried to achieve perfection. Goodness, it takes me weeks sometimes 'to get things perfect' to look the same as what I am copying. I will (try) to stop doing that.

Wonderful!! I learned so much!

Another gorgeous painting! You are so inspiring. I long to paint looser, but find it a challenge, but your videos are definitely helping me. I loved your advice about putting the reference photo away after sketching in. Thank you so much!

So excited to find you here on RU-vid today!!! I saw you painting live at the Sun City Center Art Club a few years back and painted a number of paintings on my own after that. I have been away from painting for a while and spent a good bit of time doing pastels, then garment sewing in 2020 and lately quilting. I am now back to painting and so happy to be reminded of my favorite painting style - YOURS!

So true, I’m learning not to fall in love with my paintings. I try to be more free flowing but always end up being so normal aahhhhhh. Just go for it I must tell myself. So enjoy your guidance, love your style thank you. London England 🥰☘️💚

If I was painting and got to the state where you were at 20:13, I would have been so disgusted with myself and would be wondering what the heck I was doing? Wow! This is such a great lesson. Thank you again. (I can't seem to stop making comments because I'm so very much impressed!)

That just happened to me! I was painting a little girl playing on the beach and fell in love with her hand scooping sand with a bucket. The proportions were off but boy did I try to make that hand work. I finally took it out.

Jane you have truly inspired me to paint more people in my paintings by just putting the paint down on paper and not do much worry about messing up. Not to judge and be emotionally involved with paintings. I was able to draw a man and woman in a painting I created . I love it. Thank you. Waiting for more classes.

Omg…. Just love your painting……I quit painting because of my family’s criticism…..I want to be just like you….also….I LOVE your pretty hair….hugs from carolyn in Columbus GA…..I loved the red background soooo much

I painted this and am so happy with it. I’m really looking at photos to paint in a different way now! Love your philosophy that big brush strokes take bravery, and paint simple things beautifully.

Love watching you paint!!

Absolutely beautiful, love the way you handle your brush, great colors

Thank you! I love your process and you explain it so well. Great advice. Can’t wait for more.

A wonderful teacher! Thank you once again for sharing your methods and inspiration!

Omgoodness! You are a breath of fresh air to me, I’ve wanted to paint flowers for such a long time and the way you paint so freely is just so beautiful! I’d like to invest in those brushes. Please could you get back to me on the sizes again, obviously they are for larger canvases l realise that. 🙏🏻

Hello from Cape Coral, Florida. I’m just learning about acrylics, I am used to working with water miscible oils. I love florals; when people ask me what is my flower, I just say they are mystery flowers. No identification necessary! Thank you so much for this beautiful lesson. Your work is amazing.

Thank you for the lesson! Love from Thailand!

Love your technique! Love your channel. Keep it coming! ❤

Wow Jane this is AWESOME and I am amazed once again, on how freely you paint. I am going to give this process a try. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely in love with your style!! Amazing work! ❤

Wha-how! What a great tutorial!!! I can see that you are such a free spirit with so much ability. Thanks SO much for your tips and for sharing your talents!! Enjoying you from Mexico!! 💞

Thank you so much for sharing! This is just stunning!

Hello from Australia. Love, love, love your tutorials and the way you teach❤

I just found your videos. I paint fast and loose in my work . I'm finding so many techniques while watching you that are using me into new directions. Thank you for posting your videos. I love watching you work!

I love your work ❤ I can't wait to try this technique!

Thank you so much. It was exciting watching you paint a loose interpretation of a floral painting … my favorite!

I can’t wait to try this! Wonderful video . . . Thanks so much for showing us💚

Okay I loved this. This feels more like my style. Thanks this was lovely and your instruction.

Thank you, so inspiring from one who has lost her mojo I just want to get that canvas, paint it orang and let rip. From Australia.

Magic and inspiring. Thank you

Thank you Jane! Great tutorial!

Beautiful! Thank you!

OMG this is just what I needed to see. Thank you.

That's amazing!! So beautiful.

Jane, I love that, it is so stunning. I just love your work, you have given me the courage to try something like this. Gorgeous and the colors are magnificent, thank you so much.

Thank you so much for such a wealth of information and u are 100% right about overworking or trying to make it perfect vs single brushstroke and being loose!! Keep all that info coming!

Thank you!! Just found you and I really enjoyed the process and your thoughts on art. My biggest takeaway is "don't get attached". Also my biggest struggle is that I get too attached to my work and I want to keep every new painting for myself 😂😂😂

Wow! I loved this video. I adore your free approach, which is the opposite of how I have fussed over details and overworked paintings to within an inch of their lives. I'm going to watch this video again and paint along and see if I can't free myself up a bit. You're an inspiration. thank you!

Excellent, love it !!!

These demonstrations by Jane are so enjoyable and informative. I am loving them. Thank you so much

So awestruck with your talent & info! Thank you!!!!

Love this painting--at every stage! I love the free and loose method that you teach Jane. Thank you for the inspiration!

My brother and I paint every Monday. We just found you. I think your going to do great on RU-vid. I want to learn a freer style of painting. Love your style.

Love your style so much!!!! Please keep making these tutorials!

Very inspiring, I'm learning to paint and this was awesome to watch, thanks!❤

You are an aspiring artist’s dream! I was super excited to see this new video. In your teachings you cover a lot of reasons for my “apprehensions” while painting. Don’t get caught up in the details, keep moving, allow oneself to be loose. Aside of great demonstrations on the canvas, you really understand what goes on in the head. Love your work, and I look forward to more. Thank you so much! By the way, as you “keep moving” on your painting, Jane does a good job of announcing the colors you may have picked up. You are a good team.

Thankyou so much for such a calm informative beautiful video, xxx from zambia

Jane, Jane, I am extremely impressed with your knowledge in the matter of loose [ impressionist ] artwork. Amazing. My work is realistic, its good. Its ok, can draw well. A coach keeps tellling me how REAL I am. But I dont know where to go or what it means. So I see you with your knowledge and expert tips here. Yes, now I know where to go and be loose. Excited to try this type work, because I know I can go push beyond with some type direction.... Will keep learning daily and its fun. I feel a breakthru is coming. Great job teaching and work. Thank You.

I really have enjoyed watching your painting come alive with interest and color! Watching from Seville , Spain, thanks so much for sharing!

Oh my! First timer here! I’m loving what I’m seeing! Subscribed and looking forward to more content !!!

Estoy encantada de conocerla a ud y su precioso trabajo, el jarrón con las flores no podía ser más hermoso. Soy venezolana y llevo 5 años viviendo en Miami, tomando clases de pintura y trabajando en casa, pero aún sin encontrar mi estilo. Haberla conocido ha sido maravilloso y creo que finalmente he encontrado lo que me gusta. Mil gracias por brindarnos y enseñarnos de forma tan desinteresada su trabajo el cual seguiré atentamente. De nuevo muchas gracias.

Thank you Jane - you've inspired me.........I'm from South Africa

Love the way you paint ❤❤❤

I think I found my new favorite. Channel! Love your style of painting.

Love your Way of painting and sharing the process 🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🙏

Great session love it

I really enjoyed this one! I've been watching your online videos too. I'd REALLY love to see one like the beach houses you can see behind you on the other free demo you did. I love that painting. I have been in a painting rut, and I have to say, you have indeed inspired me. Thank you! Love from outside Charleston, SC.
