Still thinking about colour, I did think for those who have done a lot of colour mixing and who may want more of a challenge looking at how to paint metallic objects may be interesting, I gave it a go this morning, trying to paint a gold ring and it was a disaster! so back to the drawing (painting ) board for me! meanwhile found this, there are lots of very generous people online sharing how to draw and paint do use them for when your teacher fails. This is oil paint which gives us a lot of time to blend whereas if you use acrylic of course it dries quickly so the same blending isn't possible unless you work quickly, it would work well I think in pastel.
Two things to note:1. you don't need metallic paint! it is just colours and tones. 2. note how much darkness there is, when he first puts the dark colour I thought that doesn't look like gold/brass, but be patient, in fact in shiny metal only a small area is light and your brain think s it is seeing lots of light shiny stuff.
of course this bloke is good, and makes it look easy, don't be hard on yourself if it doesn't look brilliant first time. but give it a go.
