This one includes not only must-know information (and terminology) in relation to Light Behavior, as well as an essential exercise for beginners getting started with watercolor which will help you with water control, but also a full tutorial on my favorite shading techniques (Analogous, Complementary and Glazing). 👩‍🎨

I also talk about how light, 3D form and value are all related and why this is important to understand in order to shade/develop values in a believable way.
