I will no longer gather simply with factual one try, so I gathered what I learned from my first try and gave it one other skedaddle. I realised that Lee Kow Fong drew better. That lets in for more detailing. So I drew better too, something I am no longer so venerable to after drawing in my A5 sketchbook for thus long.
I also realised that I didn’t desire to construct within the pen strains and darker pencil strains ideal after I applied the watercolours. I would possibly per chance possibly draw them in first. That prolong, I would possibly per chance possibly be conscious clearly the strains for the principle characters and foreground plants.
I also realised that I assemble no longer beget the identical colors he makes spend of. But that’s adequate. My goal is to be taught his principles but I will follow my beget color preferences. I am no longer trying to assemble my work question exactly admire his. That’s what he likes his painting to query and I indubitably beget my beget preferences.
I started trying to regulate the tonal values right here, knowing which phase wants to be lighter or darker in tonal values. My major goal became to make certain the principle characters stand out. But some ingredients of the background would possibly per chance possibly restful also stand out relatively. I became also deciding if this wants to be a warmer scene or cooler scene.
From right here I factual wished some privateness away from the camera. So I carried out it after vital adding more paint right here and there, the spend of moist on moist tactics. Adding shadows. Then I added more strains and textures the spend of the Mars Lumograph murky pencil and Faber Castell Polychromos color pencils. I possess I would possibly per chance beget overdid it! I if truth be told went past the simplicity Lee Kow Fong has. Mine looks vital more heavy and textured. But, no longer comparing, I would notify it restful looks first charge.
But I would require more be conscious to gather to that stage of simplicity his watercolour work beget. Maybe I am factual pondering too vital! Gotta restful down more, assemble no longer care so vital, assemble no longer try so laborious and factual beget an even time.
Attempting a mode commence air my comfort zone is indubitably miserable. But that’s how I develop.
