Oil Painting Demo: Translucent vs Opaque Objects

[@thepaintslayer624]

OMG... this is the single most helpful tip I've ever seen for wrapping my mind around painting solid vs translucent objects! It was like an ah ha moment... Thank you!

[@walcottfineart5088]

I'm so glad my video was helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@mbod8485]

Thank you for sharing. I am so impressed with how you get to the point and deliver the information in a clear way. Love that you showed the differences with just the paint and no extra mediums.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks for the kind comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@HeleneWheatfield0549]

I've just finished painting my photo of a bowl of red globe grapes & some green grapes for my weekly, online class challenge and even though the photo was right there, I found translating to paint, how the light works on them very confusing. I loved watching your demo & listening to your explanation; it has solved some of the questions for me. Many thanks, that's wonderful. ☺

Very useful tip - explained simply and clearly. Perfect for when you do not have a reference object/light source, but you need to know how to express a translucent object.

[@SimpleManArt]

I'm new to painting and came here expecting to see you use a medium with your paint to get translucent colors. And while I think this might still be possible, your video unexpectedly opened my eyes to the fact that this can be achieved with the colors alone. That got you a new subscriber and a like. Thanks for the insight, sir.

[@condeerogers5858]

Thanks for a great teaching. You are a great teacher. Have you ever thought about teaching how to paint a complete painting for those who need help in completing a painting? There are many teachings on youtube and I think, if you have time, you should too. Your style is different and you would probably have a great following.

[@walcottfineart5088]

Thanks so much for the nice comment! I may eventually move onto a complete painting video. Mostly it's a factor of working out the logistics of it. My equipment is somewhat primitive so it's hard to get good video of me actually doing a painting on my easel. I did manage to do my pastel demo, but it didn't really show everything the way I wanted. We'll see! :)

[@condeerogers5858]

Look into starting a Patreon account. I will support you when I can and I bet your other subscribers will too. Just a thought.

[@walcottfineart5088]

I have looked into that! I need to consider it more, but it is a good idea. Thanks! :)

I always mention, you're like a professor or librarian. We WANT you to succeed because we selfishly want to pick your brain. So people are more than happy to throw in a few bucks to keep this going, much cheaper than taking a class in a classroom!

The shadow of the translucent object should have a light spot. That's at least what I've observed in the shadows of marbles. Thanks a lot for the tutorial anyway, they're always so useful!

[@walcottfineart5088]

Good point! I find this phenomenon tends to happen with larger objects though like vases or drinking glasses. Thanks for watching! :)

[@Tizaheijting]

Great demo! Will you do anything on clouds? I'm stuck as to what colors to use and brush techniques.

So wouldn't some of the light passing through the translucent grape appear in the shadow? Going out to the studio to try this and, of course, variations. Thank you so much for this!

[@walcottfineart5088]

That's a great question! It really depends on how thick the material of the object is. You wouldn't really get that effect from grapes probably, but certain types of glass would have a light area in the shadow coming through. Thanks for watching! :)
