16.) Keep selected and add a new layer. We need to darken the bottom of our
pitcher some.
Set foreground color to Black.
Airbrush set to these settings..

Spray a line just above and into where the dark area is on the bottom of your pitcher.
Look at the screenshot below.

17.) Now go to Effects, Blur, Motion Blur set to these settings..

Click on the Deformation Tool and drag each end of that blur layer out past the sides of your
pitcher. Set the deformation. (we'll remove the excess in a minute don't worry)

18.)Now switch back to your Airbrush, same settings and fill in the bottom part of your
pitcher with black. But be careful not to go over your blurred area.  Go to Selections, Invert.
Go to your palette layers and make the shading layer your were working on your active layer.
Hit the delete key on your keyboard to remove the area that is outside of your pitcher.
You should have something that looks like this now..

Hide all other layers except your front pitcher layer and the black blurred layer you just made
and merge visible. Rename to front pitcher.
Save!!

19.) Okay last step on the front of pitcher. *L*
Your front pitcher layer should still be selected. Add a new layer and apply a cutout using
these settings..

For those that like to copy and paste the color code, the shadow code is #AE4F20
Close all layers except front pitcher layer and cutout layer and merge visible. Rename one
last time to front pitcher.

below to see where I have sprayed the dark color.

22.) Now change the color one last time to #EFC45D  Note the light area on the screenshot
above, close to the mouth of the pitcher. Spray just a little of this color there.

23.) Go to effects, Blur, Motion Blur and apply these settings...

Select none. Close all layers except those two and merge visible. Rename as inner rim

Now to make a small rim around our top. I know, I know, I said no more vectors but we
need a rim!! *L*

24.) Set your foreground color to #5D2821
Make your top layer your active layer.

Now, close to the top of your inner rim draw an oval above the same size as your rim is.

changing to Cusp where needed around the edge of your pitcher like this..

Convert to raster, rename to sm rim. On the layer palette lower the opacity to 38 %
