How to Paint a High key Painting. Hello Everyone, This time we are taking a high key picture as a reference. High key is a picture which has lots of light and the contrast and the shadows are very minimal. As watercolour is a medium which is transparent. We cant go dark to light so we will from light to dark. Step 1 We will start drawing light shapes around the main floral shapes through our brush leaving the main flowers as they are the lightest and have white as their local colour. Step 2 We will add more dark values in the middle ground still leaving the white flowers. Step 3 We will paint the first White flower comparing the values. Since the light here is a cool morning light the shadows will be warm. Step 4 In this step we will add the dark values in the background carefully maintaing the shapes and drawing of the flower and will simultaneously work on more white flowers. Step 5 The last step is adding details after the big shapes. ...
Very beautiful painting, really cool.

You did very well painting the people in a way to show the moment. The way they hold themselves. Do you use models, or the people come from your imagination?
