Determine which direction your light source is coming from, and paint the ultramarine shadow lines on
the opposite side of the object.
Experiment with the amount of water in your ultramarine mix so that it’s not too watery and doesn’t show
up, or it’s too intense and doesn’t look like shadows.
Liquid control is a big part of watercolour painting. Have toilet paper or paper towel handy to dab your
brush onto in case it’s too liquidy.
