Description

Petal Shadow is a beautifully nuanced watercolour designed in collaboration with In The Studio With Michele Webber. This unique color was specifically created to add shadow to white flowers without overpowering their delicate nature. With a soft lilac bias, it can also be used on yellow flowers without the risk of creating unwanted green tones, making it an invaluable addition to any floral artist’s palette.

The combination of pigments in Petal Shadow creates a delicate and versatile hue that allows for soft shading and depth, perfect for adding dimension to lighter petals. This watercolour is ideal for floral compositions, where subtlety and precision are required to maintain the natural elegance of the subject.

Whether you're working with pale whites, soft yellows, or delicate pastels, Petal Shadow provides a gentle, natural shadow effect that enhances the beauty of your artwork without detracting from the focal points. Its transparent nature allows for smooth layering and seamless transitions between light and dark areas.
