In this lesson, Helen demonstrates her technique for painting metals (copper, brass, silver). She emphasizes the importance of a single light source when painting metals, explaining how this light source provides the strong contrasts necessary for visualizing and rendering metals. She outlines her unique approach to painting metals. Unlike painting glass, where the highlight is added last, Helen teaches us to begin with the highlight when painting metals, marking it as a crucial step in achieving a realistic appearance. She also stresses the importance of keeping the highlight color mix vibrant by mixing it quickly.
This video is a valuable resource for artists looking to master the depiction of metallic surfaces.
