Playing with Colour and Light | Watercolour Forest Sunset Scene | Loose Expressive Landscape

Painting in watercolour feels like playing with colour and light - it is such fun to watch what watercolours can create for you if you set them free. In this video, I am creating a sunset forest scene based on a tiny abstract thumbnail sketch. Also, when I was painting this landscape, I accidentally discovered a new (to me) and easy way to create interesting-looking cast shadows that I will be using in my work from now on.
