Golden vase for 24! Try not to stress as this one looks weird during most of the process. Start light and keep building up those layers in the vase. Take note of the very specific places I leave highlights in the glass. Maintaining those highlights will make your glass vase look great no matter what your shadows are doing. I think the shadow "glow" on the table is my favorite part, so watch that part a few times to grasp the wet into wet effect. I can't wait to see how you do with this one! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: For this project I am using a split primary palette- cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, perm. rose, ultramarine blue, cerulean, indigo and sap green. The colors I'm using today are - cad yellow, cad red, ultramarine blue and sap green.

Brushes: round 4 & 10 Princeton brand.

This one is gorgeous! Kristin - I’m not able to access the YouTube link.

I was *just* wanting a flowers in vase tiny painting earlier today as I was thinking about painting my daffodils in a glass jar! I cannot wait for this!

Kendra

Wow, this is so beautiful. Way above my skill at the moment but so beautiful!

I just joined and I am very much a beginner. Two things I'm struggling with: 1) To me a light wash is by definition watery, and then I have trouble controlling it. 2) I'm not understanding what makes a shape look like a reflection rather than just a blotch or a streak.

Barbara- for #1, try tapping your brush on your paper towel first to blot up some of the water when using a watery mix, or go down in brush size if the belly of the brush will still deposit too much water onto your painting. I’m constantly tapping extra water off of my brush onto my paper towel for water control. You also don’t always need to rinse your brush in water before picking up paint of another color, this can bring in too much water, it’s ok if your colors get a little messy on your palette. Or just scrape your brush along the side of your water jar to release some of the water first before picking up more paint. ❤️

Kristin has some excellent water control videos on YouTube, and the “technique”classes every month are also excellent for building skills and answering questions. Just keep painting! ☺️

Thank you, Laura. I started over tonight trying really hard to have "just enough" paint on the brush, and the first couple of washes are much better this time. It's also true that I avoid getting my palette messy (the individual paint compartments, that is). Translation: I've already learned a lot.

Kristen. I have struggled to hear you in the previous videos. My volume turned up all the way. Now that you have a new studio it is even worse. Your voice is soft. Is there any way you can increase the volume? Please. Joei

Kristin Van Leuven

Hi Joei, I’m sorry to hear that! My settings haven’t changed and when I listen to the videos back on my phone, computer and YouTube they sound very loud to me. What type of device are you watching and listening on? It could be that your volume setting on the Patreon video is low and you’re turning up the volume in the device only

This was lovely to see the water and stems in the water. This was another fun month!
