Cheng-Chieh Lin's watercolor learning experience:
Professor Chen asked us to painting something that we are interested in, so I finally chose a motorcycle. It is a really cool motorcycle, I'd really like to have one, but the price is too expensive to me. So I decided to painting it, to quench my thirst by watching it. I hope that I can buy it one day in the future.
First, I considered the angles of the motorcycle a lot, but I still fail. It's tricky, because there are very different senses to see it and to draw it. I drew again, the paid more attention, and time, until I felt its good enough.
This painting has to use the same color, but different values. What's value? It's about the brightness or darkness. Not only a color, but also different colors can be the same value. How to be lighter or darker? Deciding your color, if you cover the same color in the same area, it will become darker and darker; if you get more water into the color, it will be lighter and lighter.
