Friday Live Painting Session: How to paint silver in oils

If you find reflective objects, like silver, tricky to paint, then today's stream is for you. I'm doing a demonstration of painting silver in oil paints.
HINT: If you can nail two things, you'll find painting silver objects a lot easier:
1. Values
2. Edges
That makes silver a great practice subject.

Hi Paul. I watched the first half of this live and had to leave for an appointment. So watching the rest now. Thanks for recommending chroma magic and the value scale. I’ve gotten both and use in my painting already. Love your videos and so appreciate your time and generosity in doing them!

The lightest part of a painting is always where the light is most direct, usually the highlights
