This is episode 4, painting 2 of our 30 Days of Art Challenge! This might not be a sexy image, but it's a super fun painting that gives us lots of opportunities to learn new techniques! In this video, we'll be using light and shadow to help us create a bucket that looks 3D. We'll also go over some techniques for drawing a realistic cylinder. Get ready to layer, layer, layer!
