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!
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.
FINALLY! Now I understand what's happening when I paint eyes in my portraits or when I paint gemstones. The camera often deletes this information, thanks so much!
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.
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. ☺
Your video is excellent and at last, for me, the penny has dropped and I now have a clearer understanding of how to paint the different light source effects using opaque or transparent painting styles. Thank you
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.
Thank you for this great video, Light and Shadow is a big topic. The "ankering" at the end really did an additional effect that strenthed the illusion to create the effect.
Jason, I go back to this video several times because it is so great to see the big difference between opaque and transparent. Thanks so much! I love it! Blessings. Be safe.
This is such an informative video. There's a wealth of information here. This information is very relevant in painting eyes as well. And reflective objects in general. Thank you so much for this video.
All I have to say is WOW!. Not only are you a talented artist, but the best instructor I have found on TH-cam. Thank you so much for uploading and sharing your knowledge. You have a very devoted fan in me! Keep up the great work.
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!
Only person that I seen who makes sense in explaining how to paint so people could understand. That is complinent from person who read huge number of painting instruction books and watched video over the years and first time sees understandable instraction that people can actually use and no some misterious puzzle as usually.
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.
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! :)
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!
Hey, Jason -- you are such a talented artist and instructor. Have you considered a professor position at a college? Or perhaps producing a painting course on DVD? What a resource you are and your presentation style is thoroughly engaging. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for the video and sharing your technique. You are clear and to detail in teaching. I do appreciate the time and effort making this video. Could you please teach us about edges and when should we use a hard edge vs a soft edge or a lost edge. I would really appreciate some clarification. Thanks again and please keep the videos coming. You are a wonderful teacher. I just subscribed to your channel. I would be happy to contribute and help you if you decide to make full lessons. Specially still life. I love to paint still life compositions. Take care. Blessings.
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!
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! :)
Thanks for watching! Yes, this is the alla prima method, but the principles of where/how to place the lights and darks remain the same whether it's painted in one session or with glazes.
You are a very good teacher and i love the topics you choose to mak vids. I got a request can you pls make a video on a very frequent problem tht i hv bn facing recently. No matter how many layers i use even with very good brushes on every layer i keep getting those hair like brush marks all over i m failing to get smooth looking spread can you pls mak a vid on this explaining elaborately it wil help me so much 😐 I hv restarted makin paintings aftr 3 yrs nw n i just cnt put a finger on whr m i goin wrong nor th issue..seems i hv forgotten 😒
Thanks for watching! I can make a video on this topic for sure. :) In the meantime a fix I can give you is to either try a very soft brush like and inexpensive sable brush or try using a medium with stand oil in it which self-levels and makes a smooth surface. Hope that helps! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 stand oil , Heard it for the first time i will definitely go buy it asap i got daler rowney brushes only. Meanwhile i am actually lookin forward to ur vid on proper smooth finishing .thank you for ur reply.....🙂 i dnt hv any natural sable hair brush yet tho

Thank you for these amazing videos. You have inspired me to pick up the oil paints and brushes again and try and conquer past mistakes with the medium
That is awesome! Thanks so much for watching and for the nice comment. :) I'm glad you've enjoyed my videos.
Beautiful painting. Thank you very much
Thank you so much the only thing that my art teacher kept saying was to do more shades but you actually explained it
I'm so glad my video was helpful to you! Thanks for watching :)
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!
Good point! I find this phenomenon tends to happen with larger objects though like vases or drinking glasses. Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you! I am brand new to oil painting and this answered some questions for me. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks for watching! I'm so glad this video was helpful to you. Enjoy! :)
What an awesome demonstration!! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)

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

Great idea! I do hope to get back to uploading new videos sometime soon. I will add the cloud demo to my list of ideas. Thanks for watching! :)
You should show an example of an object painting in the style of alla prima and the same object with the indirect style using glazes
Thanks for watching! Yes, this is the alla prima method, but the principles of where/how to place the lights and darks remain the same whether it's painted in one session or with glazes.
