Acrylic Still Life Painting Tutorial - Terracotta Plant Pots

BLOG: https://willkempartschool.com/how-to-... DOWNLOAD THE REFERENCE IMAGE: https://willkempartschool.com/how-to-... Morning class, I’m Will Kemp from Will Kemp art school and this week we’re taking inspiration from around your home. In this beginner acrylic tutorial, I go through the steps of how I think through my colour composition from choosing the coloured ground to introducing the pigments to slowly building up the piece. I really liked this little collection of terracotta pots, they were part of a cottage garden potting shed I’d visited recently and I loved how it had the strong orange of the terracotta next to the muted oranges of the red brick which was then broken up by the cool greens on the leaves. On the website, I’ve got an article that talks through the thought process of how I approach this piece and a reference image you can work along from but for now let’s grab a brew and any remaining biscuits you’ve got left and let’s get painting. You might have always wanted to capture the corner of your sunlit living room or an interesting collection of books stacked up on your coffee table or a section of your garden or patio with all the vibrant greens and spring colours But when faced with a new painting subject, where do you begin? How do you decide on the pigments to use or what’s important to focus on? The tendency can be to just get started and ‘work it out’ as you go along. But without adopting a systematic approach to your painting, you can be faced with frustration with your colour mixing, wasted time on your drawing and an unsatisfying end result, I want to show you an easier way.
