Lessons
About This Lesson Series...
In this lesson series, we'll use acrylic paints to develop an interesting still life painting of blueberries.
Lesson 1 (1:03:05)
In lesson one, we discuss the materials and strategy for this painting. We begin drawing the blueberries with a graphite pencil using a grid for accuracy.
Lesson 2 (1:15:34)
In lesson two, we begin with acrylic paint, addressing two of the blueberries.
Lesson 3 (1:06:08)
In lesson three, we change the background and continue work on the top row of blueberries.
Lesson 4 (1:08:17)
In lesson four, we work down to the second row of blueberries and attempt to speed up the process by addressing several blueberries at once.
Lesson 5 (1:03:43)
In lesson five, we continue to develop the blueberries, concentrating on giving each blueberry its own "personality".
Lesson 6 (1:11:53)
In lesson six, we add more blueberries and touches of Burnt Sienna to the existing blueberries.
Lesson 7 (1:33:00)
In lesson seven, we complete the painting by addressing the last row of blueberries and the background.

what kind of paper are we using?
Hi from Palma Mallorca
I use a palette called a Majello palette,put a wet paper towel in the middle and it stays wet for over a month as long as the paper towel stays wet! Sometimes they mold!
You are missing a blueberrie
Hi, is there any chance of listing the exact colors used up front? I’ve just started watching and you mentioned not knowing which colors you will use but I am the type of person that needs to have my supplies all ready to go prior to starting. I would greatly appreciate this info. Thanks.
