How to Paint Light & Shadows in Watercolor | Still Life with Flowers and Fruit

Описание: In this step-by-step watercolor demonstration, we paint a simple still life featuring red flowers, a blue vase, and fruit while focusing on how light and shadow create depth and form.

Understanding where the light is coming from is one of the most important skills in watercolor. In this lesson, I demonstrate how to observe light direction and use shadows to turn flat shapes into three-dimensional objects.

We focus on:
• Identifying the light source
• Painting cast shadows for realism
• Creating form using light and dark values
• Simplifying objects into basic shapes
• Building depth in a watercolor painting

This lesson is part of my watercolor class series where we focus on building strong fundamentals in a relaxed and encouraging way.

Remember — watercolor gets easier when you learn to see light and shadow.
