Now what we're going to do is the light area of the inside of the bowl. We're going to paint it with a light gray. It's mostly going to be flat, but we do need a little definition. So it will define as it goes up the side of the bowl. So we're going to make a gradation right there and then soften it. Also, we're going to reshape some more on the bottom of the bowl so that it's rounder and it looks more correct. So just adding some paint there. Remember, water color is additive. You can add on top of it and add to the edge.
