In today’s video I’m sharing with you a painting I’ve been working on in private initially.
I want to share with you one of the most challenging yet rewarding stages of the process - adding the shadows.

I’ve been asked about this a lot in the past, and I want to focus a bit on that, the mixing and the application of paint.
I also made sure to include the names of the paints this time haha 😂
