Hello artists,

This week we are playing with fire. Figuratively. Or literally. You can try wood-burning, firing clay pots, or melting down metal for sculpting. Those sound like they require a lot of effort and money, so I’m probably going to stick to paint.

Here’s a video on how to render fire and glowing objects in acrylic paint.

Here’s how to render fire in black and white pencil.

You can also tweak the topic: fireworks, firefighters, smoke (because where there’s smoke . . .), candles, cannons/guns, dragon fire, someone getting fired, or an abstract representation of fire.

Go forth and create.
