Totally loved your video! I learned so much. It's an honor to learn from a pro, not many willing to show how they do it. I hope you make many more, like tips on how to repair screwups, lol. I have a hot rod but can't afford your professional work, so at least now I can say I learned from the best! Will do a lot of practice before I start, thank you!
Very nicely said !
Yes please! I'll stay with you! I'm excited to try my hand at it.
Wow. I can't get over how amazing it is that a person can get lessons like this from a real professional for free. Thank you for taking the time to do this. You're awesome and amazingly talented!!
This is a real pro. Not only good at striping, but explains brush technique, paint prep, and brush care and use.
Thank you so much for teaching me to restart my interest into getting back into doing this. Lost confidence years ago due to bad teacher. You inspire me to move forward
Absolutely……the best…..tutorial on the internet. VERY well explained Jen!! I started striping about 30 years ago, for a brief period…I was terrible at it, and haven’t done it since then. Turns out, I was holding the brush upside down!!! Now, 30 years later, I’m going to give it another shot!! I’m pretty decent at lettering with quills, but striping for me was a challenge. Now I know why!! Thanks for rekindling my interest Jen!!! You’re the best!!
I love how you explain thoroughly. It helps me be sure I understand what you mean. At first I was just checking it out. I was hooked and entranced after 2min. Awesome video.
Thank you. This is one of the best tutorials on RUclips. Learned a lot. I enjoy watching such controlled elegance of motion coming from years of practice and dedication to your art.
I'm totally gonna watch this in it's entirety. these videos are always amazing!
Like you're not good enough allready!😅
@@TheRemyleon I'm no where near Jen's ability. I love watching her works
@@villapinstriping I didnt had the time yet to watch the full video but I really going to take some time for it to "watch and learn"! Don't be so hard on yourself,I learned a lot from you too but yes,her skills are insane!🤩
Your channel is also amazing!
@@Brazpastrop Thank you
I can’t believe how much information you pack into these tutorials!!! I have been airbrushing for quite a few years and always wanted to learn how to pinstripe…. I’m gonna suck at this for a while. But at least I now understand the basic do’s and don’t’s…. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!,,,
Wow! An hour ago I had no clue about pinstriping, and was hoping to get a start. I feel like you've already taught me so much, even if this is just the tip of the iceberg of all your experience. In any case, I feel more like I want to have a proper go, so thank you so much for giving me somewhere to start!
Very well done, tutoring aspiring artists & old timers alike is not an easy task.
You posses the talent, patience, & soothing voice to walk your students thru the intricacies of this lost art.
Sadly in this day & age people have been conditioned to posses little or no patience to master such a discipline.
Trust me I love technology as much as the next guy however, a desktop & a plotter can crank out a decal & earn you enough to get by. Or produce a hand painted 1of that has true artistic value for a nice sum.
I admire you for body of work & the love for the discipline...you are a Master of your craft.
Love & Respect.
Just letting you know Great video in my opinion. Just beginning my journey and you taught me a lot in the 45 mins. Will definitely be checking out your other videos to see what I can pick up
This is very much depending on the setup. Stability, support and being relaxed in a comfortable position. I used a pen on a tv and , just like Zz top Billy gibbons I had a go at it. And now I'm part of a community. Great upload! Thx!
I love how thorough and detailed you are with your explanations. Thank you so much! This was great. Very much appreciated.
Super excited to start this journey into pinstriping! I have always been fascinated by this, and I finally broke down and ordered paints, brushes, and solvents. Found your tutorial, and you are the most beginner friendly video I have found so far. I saved it to come back to all of this later, and relearn as I work toward this.
Thank you for being so informative!
Thanks Jen. Mastery of brush control is one thing, creating designs is totally the other.
Thank you for the information. I just started pinstriping. I've watched a few videos already and by far yours was the best one out there. I'll be watching more. I've seen your work on your Facebook page and it is incredible.
Absolutely AWESOME Jen!! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible knowledge!!!
I love how you have so much love for the screwdriver! My tool box has tons of tools passed down from my grandpa to my dad to me, and I have a dedicated antique wooden screwdriver as my stir stick and general multi-tool in my studio lol.. great videos, thanks for posting!🍻
Wow, Jen - I would not be overstating when I say you are an absolutely excellent, natural teacher. If you were new to making a tutorial, it sure didn't show here. I literally felt like I was student in a class. Nice job. About 10 years ago, I was given a new set of Mack brushes as a gift. After watching this vid, I am finally ready to get them out and begin to learn how to do my own pinstriping. Thank you for this tutorial, I'm sure I'll watch it several more times.
Love this!! You explain everything so well and with so much detail. Even the logistics of it, like where and how to place your tools.
There are many "iffy" videos out there and it's a joy when I find something as good as yours.
Your page is a gem. Thank you very much!
Cheers from Portugal *
Thanks for this! Your designs are among the most interesting and beautiful I’ve seen and your willingness to share tips & instruction is amazing.
Found your site last night, instantly subscribed. I've been painting, albeit not pin striping, for most of my life. Brush maintenance/care was one of the first lessons I learned. Quality brushes can last many years, I have some that are over fifty years old. Today I learned your mineral oil storage trick, WOW! I no longer have the steady hands but I may still try pin striping for the entertainment value. Thanks for sparkling an old interest.

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Y ou are a good teacher and explain what to do and why I learned alot.
Thank you thank you Jen! Great explanations and demonstrations. Wonderful person, awesome talent, such a gift to us.
Great to watch someone working from the right side of their brain since I do too. Watching you has helped me immensely, but you were right you did forget to explain something in your video. I was waiting to hear what you use to clean your metal canvas when practicing. Your videos are awesome and thanks for going out of your way to produce them! 😉👍🏻
Beautiful video, full of information. The close-up shot shows very well how you make the brush work. Thanks.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You're an amazing artist. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm from Brasil and we don't have too many pinstripers here. You can be counted on hand fingers. Is not easy to find materials, inks, and brushes here. I start a small store to help people find what need for pinstriping, here in Brasil. But not easy. In baby steps, this amazing art grows here. I really enjoy all your tutorials. You're not a great artist, but a good teacher too. ;-) Greetings from Brasil. Sorry about my bad English.
Are you in Sao Paolo? pm me.
Thanks Jen. I have thought about your video a bit now that I've watched it, and I think it is good quality. I learned more in this lesson than I have learned from quite a few other Pinstriping videos. Like, caring for your brush and using glass as a practice medium etc. I restore old bicycles, and I need to be able to do simple lining on lugs and forks etc, no big hot rods, but being able to get a good line on a curvy surface is important.
I'll be watching your other videos, and thanks again.
This was exactly what I was asking for in another video of yours. All my questions answered here!
Thanks, I enjoyed it.
JIM 👏🌹
Thank you for this!! So many are just “watch me do this and I’ll give you tips” but this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
Just started my pinstriping journey! Hope to meet you some day and shake your hand and just say thank you for sharing all of your knowledge!
great vid! I wanted to get into it in art school but the teachers were only interested in copying the big name painters than developing skills or styles...then I went digital, but now I want to get back into painting and trying to resisting starting big and doing this practice over and over!
Thanks Jen for taking the time to make this awesome video👊🏻
Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos. I've been dabbling in pinstriping and lettering for years, but it's always helpful to go back to basics and look over the shoulder of a master. Just talking through what you're thinking as you're working- like the lift in the middle of an S-curve, and the wiggle at the end of the line - are things that you don't get from watching timelapses and seeing finished work. Lookin forward to more!
For a mineral spirits substitute, I switched to Eco-House extra-mild citrus thinner - It's not non-toxic, since it's still a solvent, but it smells good and cuts way down on the fumes. I still use the 1-shot reducer for thinning, but for traditional oil paints I use Eco-House for both thinning and cleaning.
Grabbing your brush and trying this really makes you appreciate artistic ability. These artists are rare and skilled.
Twenty years ago plus started to pinstripe wood wagons. Wish I would have a mentor like you to even learn how to start. Hope this is watched by young industrious folks that are starting out.
Thank you for your time
I've had a mack 00 and can of one shit for like 8 months now and never understood what people were telling me but your video makes total sense thank you so much
Excellent instruction. So many things taught during each step and what to look for.
Thanks for showing some of your techniques. Very similar to what I used to do for architectural renderings in gouache. Its impressive that you don't rely on a maulstick or curve set for those beautiful long lines. I tried one-shot (lacquer) years ago and thought it was great paint, but not really usable for 'oil' painting. Great coverage, similar to Flash paint, which I think they stopped making ( a very opaque latex solution, made in France, as I recall, pricey). Its not the paint, but the acquired skill and you have it! Really nice to see.
Great video Jen thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. Really appreciate it. Thank you.
You are an amazing teacher. Explaining every detail! Awesome!
Thanks for sharing this, girl! I"m still learning and your videos are like a classroom! Big hug from Brazil!
Jen love your vids. I'm a southpaw as well so your ez to follow working from left to right never would cross my mind thanks
Just found your channel, wow,you make it look so easy, always wanted to try pinstripingII but never had the courage to try,I will have to try now that you show the basics 😉 well done 👏
Great video, so much skill and expertise packed in! Many Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such depth you are such an inspiration!
You do amazing work Jen thanks for sharing your knowledge.
thanks so much you are so cool to watch and learn you explained everything so well i just bought my first brush now i need some one shot to get started 😀
Thank you Jen your video was the best and very informative on supplies,techniques,clean up, storage. I’ve been looking for a good teacher and your the best ! Thanks
Amazing video. I haven’t really done any art in six or seven years and before that it had been fifteen years or so. And my artistic juices are flowing ounce again
Awesome. Nice to see another left handed excelling in a right handed world.
Thank you! I learned so much. Can’t wait to practice.
I`ve seen many tutorials of pinstriping,but yours is TOP;and thank you for clear speech - very important for an old german guy with poor English!
I was an art student and i love the art work that gkes on the custom hot rods currently imnjust using a pen as i havent got brushes
Happy New Year Jen. Personally I love the longer detail videos. You can fit this type of info in a 3 min video. 😁 As a long time follower I see how busy you are and thanks for taking the time to help others. One topic I would like your protective on is a lettering video. I guess more so on types of brushes you recommend and technique on using them.
Thank you Jen, really appreciate your work and your help, respect!!, regards from Sweden
Wow someone who actually teaches,thank you
Very awesome video you made. As someone wanting to get into pinstriping just to start doing my motorcycles and not have to rely on some one else I'm super excited to see videos like this.
One thing I was longing to see was as you were demonstrating simple line work, straight long, c-curve, s-curve etc was what you were doing between strokes off camera with the pallet, brush and reducer.
Thanks again, God bless and God speed
This was so detailed and more than helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you!! 😊
This video was awesome!!!! Thank you so much!!! I’m just starting to learn and this was priceless information!
Like any specialized craft it's cool to see how different artists may do things a bit different. The person I learned lettering from used auto trans fluid to store his brushes in to stay moist and keep the hairs from breaking. Nice to watch your technique and learn different methods that may suit me better!
we all do things slightly differently lol i hate the feeling of trans fluid so i stay away from it, but thats me
This is the best instruction video that I have found on the web! Thank you! This is like a really well thought out crash course. If you were to sign up for courses at your local community college what she covered in this one video would be two weeks at least of classroom time
thank you
You are an excellent teacher. The little;e wiggle on the end of the line to keep it the same width as you lift the brush is a GREAT TIP!!! This is often a problem for me. I really enjoyed this and you have explained everything really well. Thanks
I just started to try striping so I can outline flames I put on my hotrod. I watched other instructional videos (not enough)then dove right in. Yes I now have some cartoonish sloppy outlines. 😂
I really enjoy your more laid back approach to instruction. I’m looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks 👍
Amazing information. Thanks for taking the time to show folks, including my 12 year old son.
Love this you shared tips no one else has mentioned. Subscribed and will watch more of you
Thanks for the Master Class Hot Rod Jen, you rockabilly.
I am totally impressed with this young lady she totally knows her craft very well, I can learn a lot from her...
thank you :)
Very Good video explaining out how you start to get in to pin stripping is very helpful ! All the little things you tell us is great, as when just watching someone it is hard to figure out what is being done ! Just order one shot starter kit , feel watching you will really help me get started and see if I can do it! After some practices I plan on trying it out on my old truck ! will have to get reducers and mineral oil local, will be a whole lot cheaper ,paid $200 ,for three cans and 3 brushes in the one shot starter kit so took a long time to pull the trigger on get started ,not available were I live !
i'm glad you are going to start your pinstriping journey!
Thank you for sharing. You’re the first person I’ve seen paint where when you talk about twisting the brush, I could understand you meant twisting it between your fingers, and not just at the wrist. Thanks for helping it click!
you are so very welcome
Thanks Jen videos are awesome and very informative please keep Them coming 👍
Brilliant content, I will picking up my brushes again. Thank you
Cool 😎 👍👍. It’s good to see some old school! I wouldn’t have it any other way! Great job!
thank you. i enjoyed your video. ive done the rougher parts of the rebuilds, but keep looking how to do some of the finer parts. i enjoyed your video, and hope to lear those skills as well. thank you
Wow ,you make this look easy, thank you for sharing your talent, been wanting to do this since I was a kid ,15yo but life got in the way, so now at 76 I think I'll give it a go, again thank you.....
Fantastic! You are an excellent instructor too!
A few small nail holes around the rim bottom will help keep a clean lid. Mostly for if someone pours out of the can.
Make sure you are punching holes where the lid actually sits down in….double check….
Jen… your hands, the way you hold them, move them, artfully graceful ballet of human indecies completely captivating; focus moving from paint to hands. A graphite pencil sketch of your hands in course of art/work- art piece unto itself.
Knowing nothing of pin-striping this is what I saw.
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques.
Wow! thanks for sharing! Very instructionnal!
A Great Video... And you are a Great Teacher as well. Thanks for Sharing
Awesome video!!! I’m from Youngstown and the homies down at Youngstown speed and cycle turned me onto your RUclips!!! I hope to watch them all this weekend lol
Just bought my first can today, thank you Jen!
i think im in love! great tutorial HotRod Jen
I watched a previous video when you did Jim's Hot Rod. How incredible how very talented. Wow factor of 10.
Thanks for the excellent video, it was really fun to watch! Your technique of practicing on glass gave me the idea to practice on smaller pieces of mirror that I have been saving. If they come out any good i could save them and hang then around my shop. I'll be watching more of your lessons.
thank you! be prepared pinstriping on mirror is a trip! hahaha don't go crosseyed :)
I loved this video,,I really a beginner for this pinstriping art,this video is actually what I need it.,gonna start doing it,and I hope this makes me someone on a bikers world till I got my own chopper since I haven't get one but I love this world and gonna involved more.,can wait for another lesson from you Jen..big love from Indonesian fans
Thanks. I appreciate your videos. I’m 58 years old and wanting to finally start painting.
This was incredibly informative! Thanks so much!
Awesome help video explained so simply so anyone can understand and has given me confidence to challenge myself further and thank you Jen
I like the idea of practicing on glass, since I'm thinking about doing motorcycle parts, some jars could be good practice, too.
It IS a different brush, an old pinstriper one Bike week let me try, it was so hard without any practice. I do holiday windows, seeing if I could incorporate this a little. I had a friend w/ a gas station & used it, to learn. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Just subscribed. This was a great video I really enjoyed it I’m binging your channel today as it’s a miserable weather day in New England today
YOU'RE A GREAT TEACHER, JEN!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge,I'm trying to pinstripe for a while now but still consider myself as a rookie😅 you're an amazing artist!
keep at it ! i was very much a rookie once too
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of pinstriping !
Awesome can’t wait to get started
Hi Jen, would love to see a close up and a side view of your easel set up. Looks like it all folds flat to the wall. I like your style!
