In this video tutorial I demonstrate how to paint water droplets in watercolour in 3 easy steps.

To paint a water droplet you need three things: 1. A highlight on the side the light is shining on. 2. A shadow inside the droplet on the side the light is shining on. This is counter intuitive but it is caused by the refraction of light through the water. 3. A cast shadow behind the droplet away from the light source.
