Watercolor painting by
Haipeng Xu
Haipeng Xu's watercolor learning experience:
When I make a picture with multicolor, I have to make decision what color I will use and how match colors properly. Meanwhile, I have to put light and shadow into the consideration.
When I use several colors presenting in a picture, I should make them looking comfortable; and at the same time, I have to make sure the main part jump out from all colors. For example, when I make a picture of fruits, I should pick the main color to underline the fruits I want to emphasis. The background should be picked by a color to underscore the fruits and make all pictures looks very comfortable.
Secondly, I have to put the light source and shadow in the picture. I can do it by changing the heavy and light of the color. Whatever I uses the same color or different color. It makes the pictures more lively.
