Capturing glowing light with watercolor requires a few special techniques. In this video I will give you my favorite tips for painting light, including: 1. How to pick the right reference, 2. How to create an effective underpainting, 3. How to capture backlight and reflections, 4. How to highlight the "Edge of Light" and, finally, 5. How to organize your layers around key shadows without over-painting. In a bonus section, I will go over my watercolor layering process in detail.
