Brass Pot

Learn how to paint a stunning still life featuring a brass pot, grapes, and a tangerine with instructor and Decorative Artist Louise Jackson.

In this online painting class, Louise will walk you through the step-by-step process of painting a brass pot along with red grapes, and a peeled tangerine.  In this online video lesson, you'll learn to create a shimmering brass pitcher with shadows and highlights. You'll also learn a fun and easy way to create a bunch of grapes using a spouncer sponge brush.

You can use watercolors as Louise does in the class or acrylics. If you haven't used Louise's watercolor techniques with acrylic paint, be sure to check out any of her acrylic classes. The "Pink Wildflower" class is a perfect introduction to this technique. There's even an "Acrylic Daisies" painting class you can take before doing this class.

In the instructions, Louise also shares the step-by-step process she used when she painted this using oils and alkyds.

In this video lesson, you will learn the following:

• how to create a dark-colored background quickly and easily
• how to use masking fluid to create highlights
• how to create a brass pot that has shadows and highlights that create just the right shape
• how to add a reflection on the brass pot
• and more!

When you have finished this class you will have a beautiful painting to hang on your wall, to give as a gift, or to sell.

What can I expect in this video lesson?

Louise's relaxed teaching style will allow you to relax and enjoy your painting journey. She has painted thousands of flowers in her 50+ year career and in this lesson, she'll explain each step of the painting process.

Louise paints at a pace that is easy to follow so you can paint right along with her. She'll show you how to paint every detail of this painting including every petal, leaf, and tendril. You can start and stop the video as often as needed, rewinding, and fast-forwarding as needed.
