Doan Thien Huy Hung's watercolor learning experience:
After the critic last week, I learn so many things in water color class.

  • how to compare darker and lighter color, they will help each other, make each other look good.
  • shouldn't ignore any detail from reference
  • should have value in painting (squint eyes from the far distance)
  • don't try to do something different from the observation
  • don't focus in 1 point, move eyes around the painting ( about 10 secs)
  • focus in where the lighting comes from
  • composition: directly express our emotional
  • explore the best possibility
  • use bigger brush to group the big area
