Today I'm demonstrating how to paint light in watercolor. When painting in watercolor it can be difficult to get the right strength of contrast to really make the light bright in your painting. Today, I'm addressing that issue and leading you through my painting of a nocturne see.
If you would like to purchase some of the brushes I feature in this video you can take a look at my Amazon Affiliate link: www.amazon.com/shop/m.white.art

    Great lesson! Looks like you started using masking tape for your paintings. Did you walk away from moistening both sides of the paper?

    I should have mentioned this in the video, I tape down nocturne scenes because I don’t do a wet into wet first wash. I also tape down plein air paintings so they don’t blow away.
