    It looks beautiful! Making the background a darker green really made it pop. The way you approached the jar makes it less scary. If I ever get enough practice with watercolors, I think I might try a glass jar. It no longer feels impossible. Thank you for a lovely video.

    I loved the way you broke down the individual sections to look at and address. I tend to get overwhelmed with looking at the entire subject at once. I want to try painting glass now. I just need to find a great reference photo to work from! I'm excited now!

    Amazing. I’m sure I don’t have the patience or the ability to see such detail, but it was fun to watch. I’d like to try it some rainy day! Thanks for saying it took about 3 hours, so I don’t get frustrated with the time it takes.

      Thanks for your comment! I like to know how long a drawing actually took, otherwise it's easy to get frustrated because you think you're going too slowly when compared to the sped up video. You should give this a try! I'm sure you could do it.

    My, I learned so much from you today. Now I see going slow and using a small brush works much better. I like the way you divided the jar into sections , I think that will help too. It amazes me that watercolor can look so realistic. Thank you for this very helpful tutorial. This is my first time to see you paint, now I'm a big fan!

    This was great! Question: how (what did you use) to remove the masking?
    I really enjoyed the music - it captured that “in the zone” feeling so well!

    • @SusanMonroeArt
      @SusanMonroeArt  Год назад

      I’m so glad you like it! I used a rubber cement pick-up to remove the masking fluid. I’ll leave a link to one on Amazon in the description. 😊

  • @user-wl7po9pg7r

    Hi Susan! Great video and a lovely painting! May I suggest one thing? Please do not use music in the background. I know everybody does it, but it is so refreshingly different if someone not following everybody and does it right. Music on the background is basically a sound pollution, especially in the context of our everyday lifes where every day is saturated with sound pollution and unnecessry information. Thank you!

    • @LilyAmongThorns
      @LilyAmongThorns 10 дней назад

      Or at very least only use music, very softly in background, when there is a long stretch of nothing being said.

  • @StorytellingHeadshots
    @StorytellingHeadshots 8 месяцев назад +1

    This was a beautiful demonstration. Quick question do you trace the original picture to get the guidelines to paint over? If so, do you use charchol tracing paper or something else? Thank you!

    • @SusanMonroeArt
      @SusanMonroeArt  3 месяца назад

      I use the grid method to transfer my drawings. There's a video on how to do it on my channel. Thanks for watching!

  • @pjpony1234
    @pjpony1234 6 месяцев назад +1

    Not trying to be critical, but your reference photo needed to be on the right side as it obstructed the view of the left side of the jar. The painting turned out beautifully done. Glass is a major challenge for me. Going a little bit slower would make learning from you easier. Most serious painters can handle a 45-60 minute video. Thanks for letting us see your work. 😊

    Would have been better to show the drawing of the jar and the masking off as well. I WOULDNT KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE MASKING FLUID

    • @SusanMonroeArt
      @SusanMonroeArt  Год назад +1

      I’m sorry my instructions on where to put the masking fluid were not adequate for you. There is a separate tutorial on how to draw the picture that can be found here: ruclips.net/video/a3b_UgaFU0U/видео.html
