Lesson 3
Light on the snow
Paint a sunlit scene in the snow, observe shadows and reflected light, learn to find the right color for the shadows.

Explore the theory by studying the examples of different types of reflections and reflected light.
Lesson 7
Reflected light. Composition
The most important part before the watercolor part is the discussion of design decisions and their reasons.
