Glass Bottles: Watercolor Tutorial

I remebered painting the glass bottles a while back and decided to try to paint one without a reference in front of me this time and also play with different colours. I think I still need practice to get the right reflections but it was still fun to try to attempt. Hope you guys find this useful and enjoy painting along!

Nia, is your name the same on Skill share? I’m considering signing up for your tutorials but I’m a beginner. I’m not sure if your content will be too advanced?

[@doratiscareno5856]

MY VERY FIRST WATER COLOR WAS A GLASS MASON JAR WITH FRUIT NEAR IT OMG...I NEVER BRAG BUT IT CAME OUT AMAZING...HANGING IN THE LIVING ROOM MY ART TEACHER LOVED IT ...B4 i attempted it... i was actually discouraged not to try it by other students....since it was my very first Water Color I nailed it...👏👏👍 Retired ARTIST 47 YRS PROFESSIONAL REPRODUCTION ARTIST WATER COLOR Acrylic Professional Photographer

I can not wait to paint this one.... 👍

@@yvonnehusic9879 my name on Skillshare is Eugenia Sudargo, you can go to the link in my desc box for it. There are some classes for basic techniques which might work for you, but yes, the food illustrations are more advanced and detailed, but the pace of the classes are much slower than my KZbin videos. You can try out the trial first if you're unsure :))

[@carolyndaughton3373]

This is absolutely beautiful! I love the transparent look when painting vases. It requires so much talent and your explanations are very helpful. Thank you.

[@susanjerrell9220]

Agree!!!! ❤ this!!

[@Nianiani]

Thank youu! It was difficult to depict but I'm so glad it came through haha

[@jacquehranica2150]

Fascinating and so much talent

[@MoiAussie1]

Thankyou so much, I really enjoyed following this tutorial. I couldn’t achieve the lovely green you did, I had to use DS perylene green and med hansa yellow and it was less green glass looking but I loved the yellowish counter top I think it went beautifully. I will try more coloured glass now it’s easier than I had previously thought💚

[@tpw9099]

Beautiful!!!! Thank u great instructions

[@connieowens2982]

I love this composition and could stare at this painting for a long time! Great job!

[@Nianiani]

aww thank youuu!

[@catherinegill2488]

Lovely! Thank you for showing us.

[@Nianiani]

No worries! :D:D

[@suew4609]

I don’t think that the yellowish table hurt your painting at all. It looks lovely to me!

[@AppelmoesArtandPhotography]

Oh that’s so nice! Thank you for sharing.

[@Nianiani]

Pleasure :D

[@jengoodwyn2715]

I really, really like the yellow and think it brought it all together! But like you said, it's up to personal preference, and I always agonize about colour and palettes as well. I love this tutorial!!

[@Nianiani]

Thank you so muchh! Yea I feel like sometimes I don't make the best decision with colours >< it's always a stuggle... I'm glad you liked it in the end though :D

[@dollyru]

You are the best. I followed many if your painting tutorials. They all turn out beautiful.

[@susanmiddlebrook5882]

This is gorgeous! I love how you painted the transparent glass in each bottle. The colors are so beautiful! Painted glass objects show forth the glory of watercolor in such a way that nothing else does. I love your work so much. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Nianiani]

Yeaa the flowiness and transparency of watercolor definitely helps with that :D

I love it! This gave me an idea for a Christmas painting, finally! I've been struggling to figure out what to paint for a family member who has a Southwest theme and color palette in their house. I didn't feel like painting the Grand canyon or the delicate arch in Utah (those were suggestions.) This way I can make the glass whatever color I want to match their aesthetic. Thanks Nia.

[@Nianiani]

Yessss! Great idea 😁 you can customise it to their colour palette
