Watercolor Bowl Painting Details

About every thirty minutes you want to spray your paints, to keep them wet. And, if you're using a paint you want to spray it even more to keep it wet. And, it's starting to bring up the paint into the solution. Now, we're going to paint the shadow area. I'm going to use a smaller brush and paint pretty dark. Now, if we want a soft shadow we won't let it dry completely. If we want a hard shadow, then we want the background to dry completely. It's best when you're doing a darker color to work the outsides and get the clean smooth edge that you want. And, then fill in the inside. Now, we can go wet and wet and make it even more interesting. Drop a lot of color. Now, there's going to be reflection off the bowl. So, we don't want to get too close to the bowl when we add darker color. This texture that I'm leaving in there will be more interesting, than no texture. And, it will look like the tabletops texture.
