    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

    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.🎉

    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.
