Painting Pink Tulips In A Glass Vase
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Learn to create subtle light effects with temperature and value contrasts
- Learn to work with a limited palette
- Get experience working on Rough paper
About This Lesson
The challenge in this project is in making the pink blossoms look like tulips and making them look three dimensional. For delicate blossoms, it takes some subtlety, especially in color changes to make them look right.
The subtlety is partially created by the soft light coming from above and to the right. It is a delicate, subdued light that falls on the tulips themselves and it contrasts with some brighter light that seems to be falling on the table cloth.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Brushes – 1 1/2″ Flat, 1/4″ Flat, Medium Round, Small Round, and Rigger .
- Colors – Permanent or Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Raw Sienna, Cobalt Blue, Aureolin Yellow or Lemon Yellow
- Watercolor paper – preferably Arches 140lb Rough Paper cut to about 11″ x 7″ or so
