Shadows in watercolours can be so hard, but with simple changes we can suddenly elevate our shadows to something else.
In this simple watercolour shadow technique video we'll be sketching a beautiful barn in the Cotswolds - but our focus will be on making the shadows come to life.
With this simple watercolor technique your shadows will no longer look flat or dull - instead, they'll really come to life, pop out, and you'll be so much happier even with quick and simple watercolour and ink sketches.
So, no longer fear the shadows or the flat and dull shadows. Just use this simple watercolour shadow technique and have some fun sketching loose!

  • I like using a drop of clear water into the shadows to infuse a bit of light...done at the right time it will not create a huge bloom, but a subtle way of breaking up a boring shadow. Like your videos and work very much, thanks.

    • It does certainly have a cult like following 😂 and a lot of people who hate it. I would argue that art is a bit too intrinsically personal to be able to say anything is overrated, as if someone personally loves it then I wouldn't want to take that from them. I've, personally, not found anything yet which can produce the same effects and joy for me - though very happy to take suggestions! Just one silly man's perspective of course 😁😁😁 neither right nor wrong just thoughts 💭
