Adding shadows to painting is one of the hardest thing to do despite the fact that shadows actually give life to the painting. Thanks for the helpful video.

Really helpful, Emma. Thank you! You wouldn’t believe how often I hear you in my head when I’m painting “and blennnd it out”!

[mutzireitz]

Finally answers about shadows I needed. Thank you.

This was really helpful. Follow the line: best advice. I'd love a video on adding shadows to something like a vase of water that is holding flowers or maybe on the leaves of plants without flowers.

Thank you for this video on shadows and light sources. I think I needed more instruction on those topics. This really helped. I'd love to see a video on light and shadow on detailed flowers, too.

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. You don't realise how important shadow is until you see a painting tutorial like this. It really brings paintings to life and gives them that 3D effect.

I started my youtube channel because I was also passionate about my craft..my ex boyfriend told me to my face that it wasn't good content that I needed to shorten them and take stuff out and I stopped making videos..my channel just sits there empty..yeah it sucks I had fun learning a new skill..like editing and uploading ..please don't give up..you have inspired me to buy some cheaper watercolour supplies and try my hand at it..I hope someday I will make more content for my channel
