- The Secret to Amazing Watercolor Shadows
In today's video, I'm showing you how to achieve AMAZING Watercolor SHADOWS in your artwork! I recently started doing an underpainting of the complimentary color to create the shadows and it has made a HUGE difference in the overall depth of the painting. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions or would like to see something specific!

I learn several new things with this video but in particular LET IT DRY, CALL IT DONE. 😊
Could also start a series where you teach us color theory basics?
That is a great idea, I love it! Thanks!
This is a great help for me to get better shadows! Your ways of darkening orange and changing values and hues over the orange are really helpful. I've been making my shadows and highlights by using more pigment for dark areas and more water for light areas. Also, I've used some complementary colors and a dot of black to darken colors. But you've opened my eyes to a great technique! Thanks. I'm going to go practice this right now.
Great tutorial. I love the idea of under painting with a complimentary color. I can’t wait to try. Maybe you could include what specific colors you use as you paint?
Always learning something new!
Very useful! Thanks. I really struggle with shadows.
I love how you explained the Why of this. It makes.sense. am learning watercolor, and learning how to break things into shapes
Really beautiful. I am glad I found you on the internet.
I’m switching from acrylics & these hits are so helpful 😊 your explanations are great too
Love your videos. This is how I paint many things now,!!!!

Thanks for explaining how to use complementary colours to create shadows. I find it quite intimidating to do shadows this way, but you explained it very well, I'll give it a try :)
Thank you so much! It definitely takes a little practice getting use to it but in the end it is worth it!
Great info!!
here from your tiktok! you’re such a great teacher!
Aw thank you so so much!
Thank you. Creating depth seemed harder for to achieve in watercolor; before I watched your video. In terms of shadows. Of course you would have to keep in mind ,to use more translucent colors (which are many in watercolor)
Of course, I'm so glad it was helpful! Translucent is the key! Thanks so much for watching!
Your transformation from the initial sketch was amazing! I love these types of videos. Thank you for making an easy to follow tutorial. 🖤🎨🍊

Thank you 😊. This under coating is a great idea and it does help your items to Have more death to it. You would real have to study shadows more to discover which way they would hit an item. Excellent idea 💡 👏. Thank you 😊. I would like to see more of this. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸.
Wow Mallery 🙂 What an informative video for beginners like me 👏
(p.s. I wanted to ask, what kinda camera do you use to record your videos?)
