The issue with the rubbing motion is that your watercolours won’t have a glow that you get when you use the least amount of strokes as you can

Thank you. So funny , I was thinking of this today. Even when I add more , I realize I don't let it dry in between. So thanks for reading my mind, youtube.. lol

@NikkiHess 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! And I used to do the same thing, it's so hard to be patient and wait for it to dry.

Awesome. So Beautiful Just a side note..I was taught that the colour of the object will reflects in the shadow.. close you left eye and just look at any object with just your right eye and you will see the reflections. I did it and you can see the reflection.🎉

What if u do a different fruit and use a different color so I can learn which colors to use to make it darker? ty

@NikkiHess 9 ай бұрын

You would apply the same methods :) If you are working with a red apple, you'd add a little blue or black to darken it. I really recommend experimenting with your paint colors. I feel that's the best way to learn once you have the information.

Looks great however I don’t see a reflected light. 🤔
