ABOUT THIS CLASS

This demo will focus on locating and manipulating light in watercolour for a narrow street scene - in this case an alleyway. We will understand how light moves and bounces on different objects as well as how we can change or modify the lighting for composition.


Using ink and watercolour, we will aim to recreate the alleyway scene in our own way while staying 'true' to the scene itself.
