Watercolors Week Four - Shadows

my painting
This week's watercolor lesson was about painting shadows.  I arrived after the lecture, so just took a stab at it, with occasional comments from the instructor.  My sample painting also had a lot of white in it, which I really haven't learned to approach as of yet.  I did have fun mixing paint pigments though, and each lesson teaches you something.  I am stretching way out of my comfort zone this summer, and I'm proud of myself for that.

The sample painting I was assigned to copy

Our instructor gave us a handout with paint "recipes" she uses to create shadows, and emphasized that while they are darker shades, shadows reflect the color of the object they are projecting.
