White Jug - Quick Paint Tutorial (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Here’s the second tutorial in my Quick Paint series!

This time we’re painting a simple white jug. It’s a bit longer than my first Quick Paint tutorial, the watercolour pencil, but it’s still designed to be painted fairly quickly without getting caught up in lots of detail.

White subjects are always interesting to paint because we don’t really paint the white. Instead, we use subtle changes in colour and value to describe the form, while allowing the white of the paper to do much of the work.

In this tutorial, we’ll use just three colours to mix the greys and violets that give the jug its shape. We’ll add a few little rusty marks and imperfections, then finish with the cast shadow.

The idea behind these Quick Paint tutorials is to paint more, fuss less and build your skills along the way. They’re great when you feel like painting but don’t want to commit to a larger, more involved project.

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below my message here, including 6 progress photos of my painting. Download them all at once by clicking on the 'download all' button or click on the zip file at the bottom.

I hope you enjoy painting this one with me!
