Shadow mapping -in watercolour Part 2 of 3

in art •  8 years ago 

I've spent all morning playing with the shadows. Did you catch my first post Shadow mapping- in black? In the second part of this 3 part series of work I have used watercolour to capture the dancing shadows of my herb garden.

The process


Shadows traced using watercolours.

You'll have to explain this one to me!

Last time I shadow mapped I found a dark clad assassin in the leaves. Ouch, still got the scars

Yikes!

Nothing can hide from your art.
And no one post your you can hide from my eye :)

Wait for the next one, you may need sunglasses!

I have never seen this technique! I have to try it now.

I've never done it before. I was photographing the shadows that the fern was making this morning and I thought 'I'll put some paper under that and draw it'. I'm not sure if shadow mapping is a term, I just felt it described what I was doing the best!

It's a term now, thanks to you! Haha
It was a fabulous idea.

really im not a painter, but i think i could try to catch some shadows with camera and do something with photoshop n friends after this

Definitely, glad it had given you some inspiration!

Inspiring!

@opheliafu I love the tints you use.
Always light and bubbly ^ ^

Thank you, glad you like them @englishtchrivy , I love bright colours :D

BRILLIANT!
I saw this yesterday but had about 40 tabs open! Finally swinging around to comment.
@opheliafu - you inspire me every day. I am definitely going to try this soon.

Fantastic, it's so relaxing to do. My tip; do it on a day with no breeze so the shadow doesn't move!
