Hi I'm Cinnamon Cooney The Art
Sherpa and today I want to show
you how you can create
this gorgeous Lilac's
in a jar painting.
Get your paint get your brushes
get your Q-tips because you
can paint this.
Let's go!
Let's work is really fun
project.
I have a 9 by 12 canvas
board that had painted black
with black gesso but you can
use black paint over
here have acrylic paint.
I have green,
yellow, white,
dark purple,
a bright pink,
and another little bit of
white. I have bunches of Q-tips
funneled together some loose
ones and I have number
six sprites for acrylic
painting.
Let's go ahead and start
putting this in.
This is kids chalk that I just
sharpened with a regular
hand-held sharpener.
But listen if you don't draw
Don't worry about this because
I also have a traceable that
you can get for free up my web
site. And tracing is OK.
I'm going to be about three
inches from the bottom of the
canvas and I'm going to make a
little bit of a soft smile.
That's about oh gosh
four inches across.
And then I'm going to make a
little matching frown.
That's an easy way.
To get kind of an ellipse.
And that's the top of my jar
here.
We're going to do two straight
lines down.
That are just a half inch long.
Another little.
Soft smile.
Your Jarre should have
shoulders similar bring a
little line out.
And a little line out.
And then just straight down and
that's all it takes to get
those in.
I find it also helps to kind of
sketch in my stems before
I paint them so that I know
what the curves are so when to
come up here to the upper right
corner and sketches stem down.
And that's going to be one of
my main showy flowers.
So you have sketched the little
stem now.
And then I know where that
goes.
And it's going to make things a
lot easier on me.
And this guy should have a
little friend that comes and
ends here so let's come right
here.
Just make a nice little bend.
These types of flowers tend to
have bends in their stems
because they're so heavy.
With blooms curve another
little bloom right there.
And just for balance I think I
like another little
one right here.
So let's paint in the first
part of the jar we have to
paint in for the trick of
making the stems look like
they're inside glass.
So it's a really easy trick
that anyone can do.
Take a little bit of tape.
Number six Ruby celebrate
when you get a little paint no
water can put any water in my
brush.
On the edge of the bristles
here. This is called dry brush
and when your brush doesn't
have any water on it and you're
going to just carefully over.
Your tracing lines your white
chalk lines.
Sketch.
This is light pressure.
The opening of your jar.
Song down.
Make.
All these outer lines
just sketch.
Sketch.
What you're going to be doing
is going to be sketching these
airlines.
Or your job.
Once you have those sketches
you can rinse out your brush.
Come over here.
There's a little bit where drag
off the extra water.
You know green.
Can add a little yellow.
On both sides of the brush.
And this is going to be
confusing at first but trust me
I have a plan here you're going
to fall along.
Your stems.
Leaving about you know
three inches at least at the
edge. For flowers to fill and
when to grab a little yellow.
Come and paint in this fellow.
Oreo
more yellow.
So I'm just using the
edge of my brush to create this
line.
On this when you get a little
more grains it's a little
darker and that'll work OK.
Now let's get a little
evergreen.
On a brush see what's on the
edge there.
Well let's make a little line
that comes off about an inch.
Offer stem.
And then make a nice diamond
shape for the leaves.
Just paint that right across.
Throwing that all in.
Hoping.
You can get a little yellow if
you want to.
Woman add a little highlight
with the yellow.
To make it very colorful.
And that's a nice little leaf
that should have a little
friend down here.
I don't even worry about
sometimes putting in the stem.
Because many reeds a stem
that's really delicate we
wouldn't see it.
All one right here.
These are just the leaves that
you would see.
What's coming here.
Well.
A little stem.
Well again you're a little
diamond shaped.
Last.
Little league fees.
Now a little.
Great Ill highlight to make
that weren't interesting.
Even have a little bit of
relief here.
So that's sort of fun isn't it.
The.
Just a little bit of one right
here.
So this should have what your
jar dry.
When checked to see if your
paints dry.
If it's dry out your brush.
Here's how you make it look
like the stems are inside the
jar.
My. Dry off my brush with a rag
in the coming get some white
paint again on my dry brush.
Right here.
On the smile line I'm going
to go right over these green
stems.
Then and they are in the jar
now I'm going to grab a little
more white.
And I'm going to bring a couple
of reflections down one to.
O'Hare.
You can Tom right across here
where there reflection.
There's a reflection right
here.
I like to say that there's
another little shoulder
reflection that happens.
So I go stroke down.
Another little Sturk down.
And then a soft dry brush
stroke across.
One another little.
Couple of dry brush strokes to
show that this glass.
Is here.
So this is about doing dry
brushing over this.
And that's what helps you
really define.
Really easy glass and
not actually ever painting
glass you're painting the
reflections that end up on
glass.
OK. So that's perfect.
You have stems in a jar
that was so fun was that.
So another little trick that I
do.
Is I like to kind of sketching
a light shape for I
Q-tip in my flowers.
So one of the goals is I will
come here and I just want to
make sure.
That I fairly softly.
Create the little cone shape
I'm going to be following.
For my flowers.
I want them to be wider at the
bottom that is like three
fingers why.
Do income taper.
Different places up here to the
top rate.
Joe.
Just so I know.
What my flowers are doing.
That's how I get that in.
Now grab your first bunch of
Q-tips take a deep breath.
This is the fun part.
So I have a bunch here of make
sure that they're very level.
I don't get a lot of hairs on
my Q-tips because I use Q-Tip
Q-tips.
And I think that's why my
little dots are always coming
out really well.
So I'm a dab a little bit into
my purple.
And then I'm a dab a little bit
into my bright magenta
pink there.
Get a little bit of white.
There.
And I come put in the shadow.
So I've got the light coming
from up here.
Well I've got to do is this
little shadow.
At the bottom if you need more
purple more purple.
I get just a smidge.
The trick here is to just get a
smidge of light.
Not a lot because it's over
lightning you want your.
Lilac's to have the shadow when
I'm coming to the edge.
I actually rock my to back
a little bit to get less dots
but you can also switch to.
Using and I'll show you.
Some individual Q-tip.
To get that delicate finish
and the where you need it.
Or if you need detailing.
Into the flour to make it feel
more special.
When I have hairs like that I
can also just roll them like
this
when they get a little more
purple a little more my pink
a smidge.
Of Mine white come and make the
shadow again.
Around the base.
More pink this time I think.
Wait.
So I just try to think about
mixing these colors up to these
flowers have so many lovely
colors in them.
And I have lots of bunches
here. So if this bunch
weren't making me happy I can
always.
Always always.
Get another bunch of Q-Tips.
You see them rocking back.
Just a couple of white Q-tips.
Will come out to this edge
here.
I also like to bring out little
interesting shapes.
War era.
Auriga.
Just enjoying that.
Or in shaping up.
So that's something you might
not know. As you can reshape
this tool
super fun just stamping
it down making sure I've got my
chateau.
Or.
The more purple more magenta
a little bit away there.
Now I'm going to come put the
shadow interestingly enough on
that side on the left side.
So if you mess that up don't
worry about it.
Just painting.
Jazz painting.
You can do it.
You can totally do it.
You're just wonderful and
you've got this.
Art can be fun again.
It's just those up to the top.
The. Little.
Outliers here being
interesting.
Let's get the tops.
So then grab another little
bunch right here.
And now I'm going to get mostly
into my white but I'll let it
pick up some other color that I
have.
Maybe a dab of pink this time.
Tom.
Create this highlight.
Lots of white.
On this side.
I really like to get these
particular dots be a little
more open.
It makes it feel like there's
just a little bit of light
catching it.
Such a pretty piece.
Just on using just almost
these two. When I come to the
end but you can switch to.
Your individual Q-Tip braid.
Want.
So feel like you've got that.
Going to get a little pink on
one of them.
Erika.
Also enjoying the color.
Sometimes what's underneath
comes and.
Makes this up.
I also sometimes.
Turn.
My bundle to change Atlas
shapes.
Almost in this gorgeous
painting.
Look.
Gorgeous in a frame.
Hope you'll share it with me
and mine.
There we go.
Oh I've got some pretty pink
there's a mint dabbed out.
Sometimes you'll notice that
you have some really pretty
color and you want to go with
it. Definitely trust your gut.
Something makes your heart
happy.
Always always listen to the
word white.
Go a little light light
sketching. I did really helps
me keep track of
the shapes that I want.
My painting
squirrel hair.
I feel like it could use some
bright pink borate there.
And also just.
Add color.
Or you think.
A piece for being perfect.
That's where I think of being
improved getting some hairs.
So what I can do is if it's
getting too much I can
always switch to another bundle
and that's why I like to have
lots of little bundles here.
If a bundle starts to do
anything I'm not loving.
Just switch bundles.
Just and highlight right
here.
Like to bring in some in
different places.
Cool highlights.
Get some pink to finish stand
out.
Studio.
And if you feel like you lost
your shadow at any point where
you can just actually come
right back.
With your purple.
Quarterbacked.
Where you think you want it.
And guess what guys.
Think.
Just grab some magenta there.
I'm just having fun.
You have fun too.
Switch sides of the Q-tips.
While still pretty.
That was so much fun I'm so
happy to share that with you
today. I hope you're happy with
your result.
Be good to yourself.
Be good to each other and I
will see you at the easel
really soon but by
