FULL Watercolour Demo - PAINTING LATE AFTERNOON SUN - BOATS ON A BEACH - and contre jour!

Why is contre jour - painting into the light - favored by many watercolor painters? Here is a classic contre jour painting demonstration of simple boats on a beach. It's late afternoon on a summer's day. Can we get that feeling of a summer's day painting?
