PREPARATION: Prepare 12 x 16 masonite with DecoArt Slate or Dove Gray using a fine pored roller brush. Apply 2-3 coats. Do not sand the final coat. Transfer Information First Transfer: Trace the entire design in PENCIL only. On the first transfer, transfer entire design except glass and berries. Second Transfer: After the first stage objects are dry, transfer the balance of the design. The container must be proven for symmetry. Fold it in half, matching the sides of the objects, with the pencil side out. If the objects are not symmetrical, decide which side looks more correct. Erase the incorrect side and retrace using the remaining side. Transfer all objects using the fold line as a drafting tool. The fold line must be parallel to the line drawn on the oval as explained in the video. A Few Gentle Reminders: Dutch Old Master with Urn Review Blending Notebook lesson or Video Review Proving a design prior to transferring Apply thin coats of paint two applications rather than one thick coat. Don t rush. Build the foundation of the painting well and the final development will be easier and more effective. A color is neither right nor wrong in itself. It is how it is used that determines if it is correct. Always test your value within the context of your painting. Palette right does not mean picture perfect. Only judge in relationship to the painting. Color is a partnership with its surroundings. Develop objects in the following order: Form is the first consideration based on right hand light source. Decorations, characteristics, markings Harmony adjustments - glazes, accents, tints Dimensional adjustments - Values, hues, and intensities Texture. Shines and Shadows are last. Allow the painting to cure in the mind and eye for a few weeks before applying the final varnish. Until the fat varnish is applied, adjustments may be made. Dutch Old Master with Urn - Page 6
Palette Set up and mixing The original piece was painted with Genesis Heat Set Oils. There is a conversion chart included if you care to use traditional oils. TW: Titanium White Y: Genesis Yellow R: Genesis Red O: Orange (or mix R + Y) QC: Quinacridone Crimson UB: Ultramarine Blue RS: Raw Sienna BU: Burnt Umber Blk: Mars or Carbon Black PB: Pthalo Blue 05 Set of Grays: Values of Gray 02-08 Set of Flesh tone: Values of Flesh 02-08 Mixes: Violet: Warm White: UB + QC TW + a small amount of Y How to use the codes on the value placement guides Each object is placed using 1, 2 or 3 steps. The first step is the form, the second and third are embellishments. The codes for the values are:... = Light (L) and/or building up to Highlight (HL) /////// = High Dark (HD) and/or going down to Dark (D) xxxxxxx= Low Dark (LD) blank = Medium (M) Abbreviation Archival Winsor & Newton Genesis Value Placement Guide These guides are illustrated throughout this lessons and will show how to create the form of each object. The light source is from the upper right, slightly in front. The light areas will be on the right and above the center line. The dark areas will be on the left and become gradually darker as the object recedes from the light. Mixing Formulas Formulae for mixing is given throughout this lesson. You will find that the mixes for the hue are given first. This is followed by a colour that will raise or lower the value. Once the value and colour are mixed, the next addition usually is meant to either brighten or dull the colour. Finally, a colour may need to be mixed into the pile that will adjust the temperature.

With Warm White add highlights as indicated on video. Add Blue Tint pass through light in the lower left. Keep the glass overall very subtle as it is in the perimeter of the painting and should not be bright. Transfer decoration to Urn With UB + Black, add decoration to urn. Keep transparent so the values underneath glow through. Glaze Grapes with Yellow then add accents with QC, QC + UB.Add WW highlights in upper right. Add pass through light with Blue Tint in lower left section. Third Stage Painting - Shines and Shadows Add shines to all objects using Warm White. Plum - start this shine with Blue Tint then add Warm White. On Red Pear- start this shine with Red then add the Warm White. Add shadows starting with a transparent Black (add thiinner). Strenthen with opaque Black. Add Blue Tint on left side of objects as reflected light. Varnish with Final Coat Varnish following manufacturers instructions. Dutch Old Master with Urn - Page 10
