(This is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 is here: • How to Paint a Spritz ... )
I’ve been working on a Spritz cocktail painting inspired by one I enjoyed in St Mawes, Cornwall.
This subject offers an excellent opportunity to practice capturing reflections in water and exploring how coloured liquids can challenge our visual perception.
While painting the background and the surface around the glass might be relatively straightforward, the real challenge arises when we start painting the cocktail itself. Your mind will naturally begin to second-guess what you’re seeing. Thoughts like, “That’s too dark for a lemon,” or “The straw should be white, not grey,” might pop up.
You’ll be craving a cocktail yourself after tackling all these tricky reflections!

Great video ❤ Happy to see you back again with another detailed lesson 🙏🏻
I just love your brush work! Thanks!
thank you Wills love this. So wonderful watching you painting and the way you mix your colours so beautiful.What is the beautiful piano piece in the background it is so lovely . Thanks Isabel
I love your style of painting--the looseness and abstraction attained by the scrubby brush strokes. It adds life and movement to the traditional still life form. I have had success with your tutorials, which are so clear and thorough, helping me loosen up my style (which has been my aim)! Thanks for the new upload! Now the test is to transfer what I am learning to my own subjects. Easier said than done. 😃
Good one Steve, so pleased you’ve been finding the lessons helpful. Yes, gotta love a scrubby brush!
Love this channel.
He’s very cute and charming. Which doesn’t hurt!
Thank you, I love watching you paint.
So pleased you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video. I love you style!
Thanks so much!
Great video. Being able to see the subject and the canvas simultaneously, (while you paint), is Very instructive. (Also, the subject and the palette.) I'm watching your course on acrylic portrait painting. You talk about "smoking out" the edges, which I've had a hard time with. Thank you for being so articulate. Also, great editing!
So pleased seeing the reference has helped. Having a portrait format on the subject lends itself to the split screen. For smoking edges it’s all about keeping both paints wet to enable the blend, glad you’re enjoying the course.
Thank you again Will, your color compresion is phenomenal!
Cheers Vicki!
very welcome and very interesting and helpful, thank you Will
That is interesting about your choice of burnt sienna from a different manufacturer. That’s the kind of extra bonus info I love from experienced artists. 😊 In addition to a great painting demonstration, of course.
Yes, the W&N Burnt Sienna has such an ace undertone.
Wonderful demonstration. Thank you.
My pleasure Carole
Thank you.
Thanks for the video. But what is your secret to keep the paint from drying up? I use the same paints and they are dry after 5 minutes on the palette but you just keep using them. Is it just cold and humid in your studio or is there anything you do different?
Hey Verena, it can be a number of different things that alter the drying time, you might find this article helpful on the blog:

Ja przedłużam czas schnięcia przy pomocy żelu do ultrasonografii, tej wersji bez soli. Trzeba ten żel umiejętnie dozować, więc lepiej najpierw poćwiczyć. Nie znam nic lepszego jako opóźniacz schnięcia. Można też mocno wodą moczyć płótno w czasie malowania
