YouTube Video: Acrylic Painting Demo--Artist's Mannequin

In this 21 minute video, I demonstrate how to paint an artist's mannequin in acrylic. Emphasis is on mixing, establishing, and applying a range of values, especially the creation of highlights and shadows from tints and shades in order to create the illusion of a monochromatic 3-D form. I hope you'll find the tone conversational but informative.

This demo or tutorial is very specific to a challenge I had given my Art Foundations students, but my intention is that you find it helpful for teaching your students to paint any cylindrical form.

Emphasis is on creating, applying, and blending values with special attention to highlights and shadows made from tints and shades in order to create the illusion of 3-D form. I try to keep the tone conversational, but informative.

This demonstration or tutorial was very specific to the challenge I had given my intermediate students, but hopefully it will have relevance for you in other contexts.
