WCW087 {Easy Shadows} January 26, 2022

[JBgreendawn]

Hi, And Welcome to this weeks edition of Watercolor Wednesday the challenge.
One thing that always catches my eye as someone who is still learning "how-to" color things is when people do shadows well. Know what I mean? So, I thought this was a really cool example as I knew to do this with pencils and markers and was thrilled to see that it will work with paints too. ( the trick here is to make sure that shadow is dry before you paint the color)
Have fun with this,
The Keyword for this challenge is WCW087

I started by painting pots but once finished I didn't like the result so there are 2 pictures one from before and one with the final card

After the shadow dries, do you do wet on dry for the whole pot? I think 'yes' but thought I'd better be sure.

I didn't let my shadows dry so that it sort of feathers out the shadow and isn't a harsh line. I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks, Ang.

Angie, I wish I had not let my shadows dry because they were left too dark and with a line. So, though she said let them dry on the video, I think you are right.

Shadows were an interesting concept to paint especially on multiple round objects - I shall not fear the shadow LOL

This is a GREAT teaching video. Thank you.

[JBgreendawn]

I let mine dry.
I did the shadow wet on wet let that dry, then did the color over the top as wet on dry.

(some of them I did color twice)

Stacy, great choice in video. I liked that is was short, so I could watch it multiple times, and really clear. Beyond the shadowing, the hungry paint brush bit was new to me and super valuable. Here's my card.
