How to paint a detailed walnut
Nuts are often a feature of the holiday season. In my family we always had a bowl of them in the living room ready to be cracked and munched on with a cup of tea, or some mulled wine.
But have you ever REALLY looked at a walnut shell? They might not feature an array of different colours, but they are SUPER detailed.
And that makes them pretty challenging to paint.
But their 3D effects are a lot of fun to paint too, so in this tip video I wanted to show you the process I go through to paint a 3D looking walnut.
Hint: get your tonal balance right before you paint all of that detail!
Have you ever tried to paint a walnut or something similar before? How did it go? Got any tips to share yourself?

Thanks, very claire your explanación!
Beautiful walnut – looks good enough to eat! I like the way your video tips are all about the painting, rather than the artist – as others seem to be. Thank you.
Beautiful! I am working on Christmas cards now!
Very helpful! The layering of colours and then the detailing. I’m going to work right now:)
Wow! Thank you so much for the tutorial Anna!!
