Light in the Dark by Laober Zhu in Dubai.
Light on dark is very difficult in watercolor. In other mediums, such as oil, it is the precise method of painting โ to go from dark to light. However, with watercolor it is the opposite. You start with lighter colors and continue to add paint to the canvas. So keeping some areas light, and even moreso keeping some areasย โlitโ can be a challenge.
This is what drew me to this piece by Zhu though all of his work is incredible.
Just look at the lantern!
