There is a guide for shadows and if followed very strickly will provide you with great amounts of satisfaction in your paintings. The guide is this...warm light=cool shadows - cool light=warm shadows. For instance, a warm lighted subject (using white, naples yellow, and cadmium red for flesh tones) will have to be shadowed with raw umber and prussian blue. Study your colors and make a list of ALL mixes that are cool and those that are warm. Use the guideline and have fun learning.
