Stunning Crystal and Glass

Crystal and glass are the most popular and most difficult subjects for watercolor painters. Author Joyce Faulknor teaches how to begin a composition, painting the subject’s values from dark to light, building luminosity one layer at a time.

Ten step-by-step demonstrations cover popular subjects, including cut crystal, jewel-toned vases, Italian beveled glass, and more. Beautifully reproduced, full-color pieces demonstrate how to add flowers, colorful cloths, and reflective surfaces to backgrounds for spectacular effects. Try your hand at these fresh techniques and watch your work begin to glow with unprecedented richness.
