Thank you for sharing this important info on shadows and making them interesting! I never thought of shadows as being more than just gray or dark areas until now. You help me “see”!

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

You are so welcome!

Perylene Violet is my favourite for tree shadows.

I've been trying to apply your landscape painting advice in general to my work - it's definitely been helping with loosening up, but I had not considered when to use warm v cool in shadows, I'll have to test it out in the future! Maybe it's just the Australian summer but I definitely struggle to connect the shadows up because I find things tend to dry so quickly.

Unbelievably handy tip. 🥰as a beginner, I was doing grey shadows. I painted a ball with blue and green shadows while I watched your video. Game changer ❤️thank you so much.

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

Wonderful!

Hi Matthew, thank you so much. This is super super exciting. I am soon to paint shadows and definitely was going to paint grey because that is what the picture has! so again thanks so much.

Molte grazie per questo interessantissimo video! Io spesso uso una specie di grisaglia per le ombre, dove la compresenza di colori complementari mescolati sulla carta e non sulla tavolozza crea un bell'effetto, naturalmente tenendo conto dei colori che devono riflettere quelli provenienti dall'ambiente. Grazie!!!

[@helanna9843]

Great observations.

[@davecampbell511]

Maybe the most interesting, helpful and creative video I have seen for a long time. Thanks Matthew!

[@montygemma]

Thank you for the video. I take a photograph of the sky and landscape separately as well as a photo of the whole' also a quick study on site' I find this helps. Video is a good source as well.
