Shadows Study


This picture shows a painting in watercolour on A3 paper which was completed in one hour and a half. The focus was to study shading in colour, and to experiment with impressionistic techniques.

The light source is located at the left. The highlights and dark areas were painted using different values of the colour (in this case yellow, red and green), instead of using black and white for shading the hot peppers. The darker shades also manage to suggest the wrinkled texture of the subjects.
