Ever felt frustrated having worked so hard on a painting — only to find it still looks ‘flat’?

Is it the proportions? The perspective? Perhaps the composition?
Whilst these all play an integral part, the most effective method of making your drawings appear three dimensional, is understanding how light logic works.
If line drawing creates the proportions, handling of tone creates the form.
The theory seems simple and the changes in technique small, but applying the principles of how tone, light and shade work, will improve the illusion of form in every drawing you do — regardless of the subject.
And the exciting part about it is, once you ‘get’ lighting, the principles never change.
In Part 1 of this 2 Part painting video demonstration we look at the theory, the drawing and then paint a simple form focusing on shadow, light and edges.
You might find it isn’t your drawing technique that’s wrong, but your lighting…

Your "morning class" makes my life so fulfilled.
404 people dislike apples. 🙁
May I ask what was the purpose of painting a yellow background? Will I have the same results if I skip this phase?
Amazing video. Helps me to get started with acrylic painting
thanks for these lessons… I've already painted the cherry and now the apple, and I think I'm improving from one to the other.
worlds longest pencil lead in the intro
should I wait for the previous paint to dry or go straight?
I'm still confused about how to make gradations with acrylic paint?
Ugghhh…I tried this and the apple turned out as a ball. I realize what I've done wrong and plan to try again.
I watched your video about gel vs flow mediums, your simple explanation made me subscribed to your channel!

I think I'm going to try emulating this painting soon! Or at least use this technique for something similar. Great video, thank you! 🙂
Hi Will. Recently discovered you and bought one of your online courses and it was fantastic! I have a question for you in this video. At minutes 20:10 you seemed to be blending the transition edges between all the mid-tones so effortlessly. How did you do that? Did you just basically blend the edges on the canvas with your brush or did you mix the colours separately on your palette then apply it on those transition edges? Btw, thanks for another brilliant tutorial!

Ok let's go
Hello I'm just curious to ask what is the white board thing that you use to put the acrylic on?
Bravo et merci 😊
very well done
A Legit artist without faking it's work of art.
Thank you for making this. I haven’t painted in 15 years and was nervous to pick up a brush. This was the perfect way. Really appreciate the video and for helping me get back to painting. I’ll be continuing to watch your videos! Thanks will!!!
at the end when you were blending, was the paint already dry that you were blending into? or wet? im having a hard time with blending as i dont know if it should be totally wet, dry, or somewhere in the middle
Love this vid and how you are teaching/explaining it all. I wish I'd started here 1st!
Hi! What is the pencil you are using ?
