Angela Fehr Watercolour | Paint more colorful, interesting darks in watercolor; Abstract Demo with Angela Fehr @angelfehr | Uploaded March 2019 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Don't just add black or near-blacks to your painting, and then walk away! You can create darks with depth and complexity, lift out colour and add more colour to create fascinating and velvety darks in watercolor.
If you avoid dark colors because you're afraid of overworking your paintings, this video will help you paint more courageously and embrace your inner dark side!
