First, we have to define the jar and give it some shape. | |
 |
The shading is added using a mixture of burnt umber, Payne's Grey and a touch of light red. While it was still wet, some extra was added around lid edge to darken. Side handle shown simply by painting in the shadow. | |
 |
A
light wash of raw sienna painted over all of the jar to give it an off-white
china look.
Masking fluid is visible on lid and front edge. |
|
 |
A strong rich blue mix was made from winsor blue and ultramarine. The pattern is painted in and edging darkened before first paint dries. | |
 |
When painting detail, magnify the image on your computer. It helps! | |
 |
After painting the pattern on the side, the left was lightened slightly by lifting some paint with a tissue. | |
 |
Fine detail added after first was dry using a rigger brush. Masking fluid removed from jar, sparkle can be seen on lid and top edge, where the preserved white paper now shows. | |
 |
Progress so far. Next step is to paint the apples. By the way they were delicious. | |
