Hi there, Liron here! In today's tutorial I'll teach you how to get the right contrast in watercolor, to enhance the feeling of light and shadow.

I used to have a tendency of darkening the darks to much. This would hurt the sense of light and shadow, and three-dimensionality.

With time I learned to balance this out, and I think this process is a good example of that.
