That’s what we’ll explore in this tutorial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, a shade is created by adding black to a colour, but in watercolour I generally prefer a much more colourful approach. I’ll show you why ready-made black can sometimes deaden a mix and how we can instead use our primary colours to create wonderfully rich, deep darks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ll also look at shade in a more practical painting sense – thinking about how the colour of an object changes as it turns away from the light, becomes more intense or picks up reflected colour from its surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding this will become incredibly useful as we move into our still-life projects, helping you create shadows that feel rich, natural and full of colour rather than simply dark.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Begin With Billy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56864223625602,"sku":"colour-paint-5-understanding-shade","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4587\/4136\/files\/Understanding_Shade_thumb_448780dc-a7d0-458f-a111-a4f78da41a57.jpg?v=1788392527","url":"https:\/\/billyshowell.com\/en-us\/products\/colour-paint-5-understanding-shade","provider":"Billy Showell School of Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
