There are many different ways to approach shading in watercolor, depending on the subject and the effects youâre going for. Weâll be exploring the most important ones together so you can gain clarity on what colors to reach for in your next paintings.
In this class, weâll work through a series of sphere studies step-by-step, giving you the chance to really focus on how light, color, and value come together to create believable form.
Before we jump in, Iâll walk you through essential vocabulary and the key light and shadow areas youâll need to understand for effective shading.
This is going to be a great session to strengthen foundational skills like protecting highlights, building a full range of values, and gaining more confidence with your water control.
