The perfect 'how to' guide to painting cut crystal & glass! One of the main misconceptions about painting crystal & glass is that it's dull & colourless due to its transparency; however look closer & you'll see that it actually absorbs an array of colors from the surrounding environment, making crystal & glass anything but colourless! Joyce takes what may seem a difficult & complex subject & breaks it down into simple & manageable steps using the dark-light value method. This involves mixing a colour for the darkest values of the subject & then from that mixing the next three lighter shades. The variety of shades means that you can capture the light bouncing through the lighter areas & how when distorted through glass & crystal the colours & tints can be affected. Joyce paints a still life scene of cut crystal & colored glass & in doing so captures the real mood & atmosphere of glass without focusing on capturing the precise detail. She explains that the secret to successfully painting crystal & glass is to understand it. You need to find the direction of the glass, paint the shapes & think about the movement of the glass & the movement of the colour coming through the glass. Let the splendor of light & vibrancy of color guide your hand as you paint breath taking crystal & glass paintings.
