Watercolor painting by
Haruka Sauda

Haruka Sauda's watercolor learning experience:
I changed the way I use watercolor paints after I submitted six watercolor paintings on the Art show at school. I thought that I knew that watercolor is not a same as oil paints and acrylic, but I realized that I relied on the techniques that I usually use. I believed that my six paintings told me that I did not think about characteristics of watercolor well enough to find real beauty of watercolor. I should have used more water to let it makes surprising effect with colors. I should not have overused paints on top of them. I realized that I need to use whiteness of the paper more effectively as I possible.
