Step 1. Reinforcing the highlights
I often add thicker, impasto paint to the highlights. this helps to increase the illusion of three dimensions. Keeping the highlights thick and the shadows thin and translucent.
Step 2.Finishing the cup (2.02min)
Adjusting the drawing and finishing touches.
Step 3. Emphasizing the negative shapes (5.44min)
Looking at the drawing and the tone of the negative spaces. This can help to subtlety guide your viewers eye around the painting.
Step 3. Glazing the cast shadows (12.45min)
Adding a glow of reflected light to the cast shadow.

12 years agoI’m confused about the term glazing: when you are glazing here, is it like watercolor where you put a thin layer of color over another color? Or….are you using a glazing medium + a little of the pigment? If you’re using a glazing medium, which one do you use and do you add water to it? thanks so much, I’m learning quite a bit from this lesson! Sarah

12 years agoThis was fantastic. Painting is like colouring. If you colour inside the lines you have realism. Outside the lines is more abstract. How about a lesson on portraits or a figure, an abstract lesson/realism (I love Voka) and more impressionist type paintings. Let’s paint outside the box! Not that you have loads of time, I know. :) Thank you so much.
Hi Will,
The painting is finished! I think it turned ok. I learned a lot! Will you be producing more classes soon? I hope so, I really enjoyed this.
