Watercolor painting by
Yan Yi Huang
Yan Yi Huang's watercolor learning experience:
Today, Professor Chen showed my classmates’ paintings in the class. Whatever flowers, people, fruits, butterfly, they seemed the real things. How beautiful paintings they did! Everybody did the great job. Our professor explained the good ways and the short ways of our assignment. In this class, I learned much useful knowledge to painting.
One is we should adjust which way the light comes to and makes that part lighter. The other part should be darker and the shadow will be next to it if you need it. Another, to paint from observation not just copy from picture. Also, to consider the main object with the background. If the main object is lighter, the background should be darker. If the main object is darker, the background should be lighter. That will be easy to stand-up the object from the background. Finally, to revise the painting again and again and it will be got better. I will follow these ways to practice.
