How to Paint Coloured Glass in Oils - Foxton Friday Paint Along

Today's session will be all about painting coloured glass. The subject is a rather lovely blue glass vase - and I stuck a plum in there too since our plum tree is dropping lots of them at the moment!
The goal for this sesion will be to show that we can create an impression of the coloured glass simply by getting the colours right. So I'll be beginning with a colour block in, and then adding the minimum of detail to make the vase read as glass in the painting.

Paul, you are really the master of VALUE. It is impressive how you can make objects appear just by nailing the right value relationship. Congratulations and thank you for your teaching

[@PaulFoxton]

Thank you! There was a time I gave up colour altogetherfor a year just to practice value. That might be a little extreme perhaps, but the discipline was good. I do still struggle with it sometimes, but repeated value studies are the best way to nail it. With the chromaMagic app and an inexpensive Munsell value scale, you have an excellent tool kit to help you practice getting values right.

Thanks Julie

Just watched this. I wonder if you worked on the plum more. It looks more rounded and a bit plummier versus grayer color especially near highlight. The glass turned out loverly! Thanks for sharing.

[@PaulFoxton]

No, these are alla prima demos and the main point was to demonstrate painting the glass. I put the plum in becasue I liked the colour with the blue of the glass :)

Hi Paul, I just discovered your channel yesterday, thank you for these videos, the explanation and the tips, I find them very entertaining and helpful as a beginner painter. I was wondering if you could make the reference photos available for these Friday sessions so I could try to follow along?

[@PaulFoxton]

Glad youre enjoying the demos Peter. High res versions of the reference photos in colour and BW (with value numbers ) included matching hte Munsell scale are available to my online art school members - also the materials list for each demo. The school also includes a private online community, monthly critique sessions and a bunch of online courses, you can find out more about it here: courses.learning-to-see.co.uk/bundles/paul-foxton-online-art-school

[@petercsizsek2236]

Oh, I didn't know you had an online school. I just searched for it and the courses look great!

[@sketchartist1964]

Great demo. Let us know if you decide to sell any of them, might like to buy one or two.

[@bodaciousglass4600]

Please Paul have a sale but you’d have to ship mine to Australia ❤

[@PaulFoxton]

Global shipping is fine :) A lot of people have requested this, I"ll ty to get around to it next week!
