You?ll never look at glass; cut crystal or reflective surfaces the same way again!
All artists are keen observers, and in this Book and DVD set, Joyce shares her secrets for sharpening your senses and transforming your observations into striking images - creating paintings that truly capture the magic of light's interaction with glass.
In the book, Joyce goes through 11 short exercises and shows you how to begin painting the shapes and values, working from dark to light - building luminosity, one layer at a time and capturing the textures of light and glass with a new resonance and realism!
In the DVD, Joyce paints a still life scene of cut crystal and coloured glass and in doing so captures the real mood and atmosphere of glass without focusing on capturing the precise detail. She explains that the secret to successfully painting crystal and glass is to understand it. You need to find the direction of the glass, paint the shapes and think about the movement of the glass and the movement of the colour coming through the glass.
Learn how to paint reflections, refractions and distortions such as the glossy texture of ice, the shining facets of cut crystal, the radiant hues of coloured glass and the flattened sheen of reflective surfaces.
Joyce?s bright, enthusiastic approach makes her an excellent teacher - and brings this subject to life for you to follow in easy stages. Let the splendour of light and vibrancy of colour guide your hand as you paint breath taking crystal and glass paintings!
