LAG members were very pleased with Howard Kaye’s live demonstration on painting shadows in watercolor.  Howard painted several examples as he shared some of his tips.  Shadows can simply be a darker value of the object’s color or a cooler tone mixed with adjacent colors on the color wheel.  Cast shadows change color with the surface color it falls upon.  For yellows, adding a little purple provides a good shadow color, and can be highlighted with a dot of bright yellow. Multi-colored shadows with similar values adds variety.  For whites, a neutral mix works well for shadows, with a touch of reflected colors.  There is a soft edge where an object’s surface color meets its cast shadow.  Human teeth in shadow look best as a light grey.  These and other tips were better seen than described here.  After all, a picture is worth a thousand words!
