Bill continues his Still Life In Vase painting. Today he will add the base colors to the vase.

Points To Consider:

• Bill’s background is wet. He worked the paint deep into the canvas with his palette knife.
• He is using thick paint to form the vase.
• He “marbleizes” the paint by not over-mixing the colors.
• Bill is holding the knife flat to the canvas.
• He doesn’t press too hard so the paint lays on top of the background color.
• Bill can see the finished painting in his mind. He sees the lights and shadows.
• He paints the inside of the vase first.
• Bill used his small knife to round out the rim.

Happy Painting!
