Hi there, Liron here!
Today we’ll look at CAST SHADOWS and how to paint them correctly.
Key idea - the SURFACE usually matters more than the OBJECT casting the shadow.
In the video I show you a couple of things:
1. Carla Rogozinski’s beautiful paintings - these got me thinking about the shape of case shadows as a video idea, in the first place.
2. For better cast shadows - give precedence to the SURFACE on which they are cast, and only then the shape of the object casting them.
3. PERSPECTIVE & the viewer’s point of view plays a key role in this. The lower it is (and everything flattens more…), the more these “bumps” are important.
4. Soft VS hard edges in shadows, and how they’re affected by plain changes.

    So I picked up watercolor painting about 4 years ago at almost 50 years old. I've been learning through various videos, books, trial and error, and a few online classes and have been progressing relatively well. I've even sold quite a few paintings and taught a very successful beginner class of my own! Then a couple of weeks ago I found your videos. What a tremendous difference your instructions have made!!! I think I've learned more in these two weeks than I've learned in years of practice, reading books, watching videos and taking classes! I love your style of teaching and demonstrating. You break the techniques down so well! Thank you for your videos! I've subscribed and will join your Patreon today!

    @@LironYan oh yes, please help. 🙏😊 i bought the colors you recommended to realize what I am doing wrong and will now continue your course. But: If I am using the colors I already have: How can I see the difference if it is a warm or a cool color? Yellow seems to be easys. But the blue colors and the greens? 😳

    Hi, Thanks for the video, forgive my naivety, Just a point about the shadow on the nose, would that shadow on the side not exposed to the light be a form shadow, not a cast shadow? I think im getting confused! Love you videos. 🙏🏾

    On the actual nose would be a form shadow, but the nose itself can often cast a shadow too! On the lips / cheek (:
