Watercolor Glass Bottles: From Drawing to Painting

The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/nianiani07211
Hi guys! As requested by a couple of you, I made glass bottles. And I also made it super simple by using 1 colour. You can also add leaves or branches in the vase or glass bottles if you would like, but I wanted to keep this one simple with 1 colour, but feel free to customise further. Hope you guys enjoyed this one! I felt like I learnt quite a bit from this, and the process was also enjoyable for me, since I don't have to care about colour mixing :D Happy painting! ^__^

If i thought i want to learn more about paintings.❤

[@Tonyukuk1453]

184.000 wow

[@sevenover42]

the purpose of this comment is to let you know you're not just helping art enthusiasts but also students from other industry. i am an interior design student tasked to render a glass table and decided to watch this video for techniques and i ended up with a complete fine arts lecture on understanding glass and colors and controllinh watercolor around them. FANTASTIC TEACHING!

[@kristiw.1823]

Seriously - this was the most helpful video for something that I want to paint, but keep having trouble drawing correctly! I adore vases and glass and, even without botanicals in them! Thank you for the recommendation of starting with center points of a rectangle, to get the sides closer to even.

[@Nianiani]

Oh great! Glad it was useful! I'm also really bad at drawing in symmetry xD so I always try to find a way to make some sort of guides hahaha

[@mrittikajoya4038]

OH MY GOD!! This totally looks like real glass bottles.

[@Nianiani]

Thank youu!

[@aditisatav1480]

Look so realistic. I can't even imagine drawing such painting. Btw keep going cause ur artwork never dissapoints😀

[@Nianiani]

Thank you so much 😀 Give it a go, you'll never know :D:D

[@judyh3017]

I’m not good at drawing, so appreciate the tip to draw the rectangle as a guide. You make it seem so doable to paint glass with your clear explanations. Great video!

[@Nianiani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kathleen7849]

I've been obsessed with the paintings of glass recently. Also metal, shadows, reflections. Beautiful work as always Nia.

[@Nianiani]

Thank youuu! Yes this got me interested in painting glass :p

[@mitalipaul601]

You always leave me speechless with your paintings 😶

[@Nianiani]

Aww thank youu

[@hazelrolle5870]

I love those glass bottles will give it a try and see what happens

[@MMGARC]

Hello Nia! I'm always in awe as I watch you paint. The beginning was so helpful to me - I never would've drawn the square, but it really gave my visual mind a clear idea in seeing it as you did. Your vases turned out really beautiful. Thanks, Nia.

[@Nianiani]

Oh no worries! So glad the guidelines helped! It sure helped me haha

[@kimberlycorliss9616]

This is a great tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to explain what you're doing and why.

[@Nianiani]

You're very welcome!

[@renaroseferin8888]

Omg ! This is so realistic and also thankyou for the tutorial . it was really helpful for me And I really enjoyed the video 👍😊

[@Nianiani]

My pleasure 😊

[@juliec.]

Wow a drawing lesson and a painting lesson. How lucky are us viewers. Beautiful painting as always Nianiani. Thank you so much!❤️

[@Nianiani]

awww it's always a pleasure!! So glad the drawing portion was also useful. I guess it's a good thing that I'm bad at drawing symmetry so I can share the method xD hahaha

[@black_blossom1192]

So detailed and beautiful! I learned a lot of tricks, thank you :)

[@Nianiani]

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

That vase!!! Wow!!! And the new supplies

[@Nianiani]

Yaaas :p Loving the new colour teehee

[@carolyndaughton3373]

Wow....this is such a helpful video. I love the color you chose, and when you mentioned you use a color of your choice, such as green or brown, I instantly thought how great it would be if you did additional tutorials for glass bottles using those. Maybe a single colored vase with a flower or something. I just love watching you paint. Thank you so much!

[@Nianiani]

haha we'll see :p maybe on IG there are so many examples on pinterest and they look so prettyyyy :D:D

[@AnjaliDoney]

thank you so much for this video. im a complete novice and i wish i could show you what i painted thanks to this. it's not at this level but it's way better than i thought possible for myself. thank you 🖤

[@Nianiani]

Great job! :D:D

[@srushthideshpande9050]

OMG! I can't believe it's a watercolor painting. Such realistic depth.

[@Nianiani]

[@candidcrafter]

You did a great job! Its amazing how many variations of a hue there is from just adding water

[@Nianiani]

Yea, it's takes off so much pressure when you only use 1 colour :D:D

I just did my first glass jar this week. Wow! So thankful for your tutorial this week. At least I picked the right color! Appreciate all the helpful hints. Did you consider using masking fluid?

[@Nianiani]

Yay great job!!! You can actually use any colour, like greens or browns would look really nice as well. I did consider using masking fluid, but since some ppl doesn't have access to it, I decided to not use it for this painting :))

Hi.. I am also participating in it🤗

[@Nianiani]

Sounds great! Good luck!

[@rmuller366]

Stunning Nia! Wondered why you picked a cellulose paper though? I haven’t used it in awhile, but recently looked at a few things I’d done using cellulose and they weren’t so bad, lol. Super music too in this one. I love piano jazz. Calming and soothing. Thanks for the inspiration. You’re hands look wonderful. All cleared up. My legs continue clear as well. They love the summer. Blessings and Love!

[@Nianiani]

Yay! I love piano Jazz too :D:D Cellulose is just more affordable, and my sister gave me this sketchbook, so I use what I have hahaha but the difference I find is how bright the colour is with cotton vs the fading of colours with cellulose as the paint dries. Thats can can easily be built up with layers tough.also at Sometimes it's easier to create lighter values because it fades :p
