In this step-by-step video tutorial, I guide you through the whole process of my painting “Stella Maris”. I teach you how I painted golden objects with a straightforward technique that conveys the illusion of realistic metallic effects with watercolors and mixed media. You can apply this technique to every object that has metallic shimmer effects! I also teach you how to add depth to the elements of the composition. I also talk about my mixing process and in which order I paint everything to ensure a beautiful result. You can follow the whole tutorial to recreate the complete painting or you can paint single parts like the statue or fishes if you like. As always, you get my material list, sketch to print out, and reference photo!
