Painting Leaves

Done this leaves painting using watercolour this week. I think I'll work on it when I'm free. 

 

Watercolour Practice

Since I brought so much watercolour materials, I might as well use them well and improve on watercolour painting techniques. It's quite fun to play and experiment the various watercolour techniques.

I like learning from various youtube videos like Makoccino as her tutorials are easy to follow. 

First time using negative space technique for the green leaves. Not very nice but at least I tried. It's better than doing nothing and get stuck. Aim for progress. The bottom right purple background effect is achieved by sprinkling salt on wet paint. 

 

Happy Holidays

I'm really happy with the long weekend! I spent the holidays catching up on my art assignment with painting and also reading. Really hope I have more time for the art. I'm glad I finally completed the A3 art task. But I think there is still room for improvement and maybe I'll improve in the next few days. Sometimes inspiration comes and I will just sketch and paint. 

This A4 art piece is still in progress.I'll draw and paint a hummingbird to it. 

With only three primary colours and white, you can create many colours!

 

Watercolour Painting- Peony and Fruits

Did some watercolour painting today on peony and fruits- lemon and pumpkin.

Exploring and Experimenting Watercolour Painting

Today is Good Friday, a public holiday in Singapore. I spent the day reading U magazine and exploring and experimenting landscape watercolour painting by learning from youtube videos. I realised that normal masking tape works as well as the painting tape. Also one needs to really work at a faster pace for watercolour painting else you can't lift the paint if the paint is dry. 

I'm quite happy with today painting but maybe I can add more details when I'm free. I'm looking forward to tomorrow art lesson. 

I reworked on earlier painting today too.

Playing with translucent painting

 

Watercolour Painting- Nature

I love watercolour painting as it gives a dreamy and translucent effect. Finally I started to practise watercolour painting today. I'm not very happy with the colour of the trees scenery and cactus. I have to practise more to get the colour right and dreamy effects.  

Update

I was not very happy with earlier work so today I painted again to improve the painting. Does it look better now?  

Updated watercolour painting today

My First Watercolour Paint

I'm always inspired to create my own arts after viewing arts exhibition. I decided to start watercolour paint after seeing painting by Mr Lim Cheng Hoe at National Gallery in Singapore. I recently brought a watercolour guide book and followed it. Below is completed watercolour paint using a combination of watercolour pencil and paint.
