What you will learn
How to simplify down a reference photograph and add light and shadows. I'll show you how to create areas of interest by contrasting light and darkness next to each other. This will put you out of your comfort zone at times, but once both elements are together, you will see how essential it is to create contrast such as these in your painting to create convincing light effects.
Layering - watercolor painting is meant to be fun and quick. Learn how you only need 2-3 layers in order to complete a watercolor painting. I'll show you how to paint the light in one layer, and the shadows in the second layer.
How to use colour effectively to create areas of interest to portray the mood of a scene. Layering a cool coloured shadow over the top of a warm coloured area can have spectacular effects.
How to use tone, or light and dark areas to create depth and richness in your paintings. I will show you how to paint different kinds of shadows from smaller ones cast by objects and people to larger ones cast by buildings. The tone of the shadow is also crucial as some shadows are lighter than others in a painting, and it is important to have a combination of these in a painting.
