Description
I usually paint shadows last in a watercolor painting, but sometimes it works better to do them first and then paint the other colors. This is one such example.
The colors are Quinacridone orange, French Ultramarine, Nickel Azo yellow and Viridian. on Arches watercolor paper, 300 gr/m² (140 lb) rough.
I have also created an exercise on my blog that uses this painting as a template:
