In today's art history, our professor mentionned "fauvisme" and henri matisse, i've known him for a long time but not unitl today that i come up with the idea, why not do a watercolor in his way. that's why i chosed this reference photo in which several cloths are red. i like red. would like it to be the dominant color of this painting. however, i'

Like i said, i tried this scene again, and other than just throwing colors, i applied more dry brush technique, and it gives the painting more clairity. however, i took nearly three times more time to do this one, and because i was so careful, i lost the sense of relax and free. in this one, i'm quite happy with the background of the upleft corner,

I called this painting "waiting". this is the second time that i paint it. the first time was the end of december last year, and it take me more than 6 hours, i hesitated and wanted to give up again and again, i added color three times to reach the right depth. despite the precess, the result was pleasing, it was my favorite painting, and i placed

This time, i'm trying to draw a countryside. i took this photo during the marche nordique as well. i'm fascinated by this view and i would really like to live in one of these houses sometime in the future. when i was drawing this picture, i hesitated several times, because i didn't know how to proceed. i didn't know how to deal with the trees on th

I did this watercolor on friday evening in 2 nearly hours, i didn't expect much, i just threw colors on the paper as i saw, and let it happen by it self. i have probleme with the timing and the brightness. and the colors blend altogether at once, so i lost the clarity of the background. however, that didn't bother me too much and i kept going on wi

I've tried three times this picture. i feel that last time the background was too clean, and i used some smoke to cover the flaws while this time, i just use some smok to kill the boring righthand side. and i add a man coming out of a door to create more interests. i don't know what's your feeling, but i feel it's better. the process of the applica

This is the first time that i try snow landscape. i didn't expect too much. i'm not afraid of drawing buildings while i'm not sure how to present the rocks and the forest covered by snow behind the castle. however, it turns out that the castle is a little weak but i'm quite happy with the rock on the right side of the castle and the trees on the le

This is a photo in peter zumthor's thinking architecture. i was moved the first time i saw it. i was moved by the red wall, the red book and the blue tint on the concret. i wanted to draw it. i drawed it twice. although there're still some details that i'm not satisfied with, i think i was able to convey somehow the mood and the atmosphere of this

I tried this scene twice, the first time on an 38cm times 28cm paper and i failed, and then, i tried again on this 28cm times 19cm paper and i'm still not satisfied woth it. i lost the unity of colors and the color itself is weak, i cannot feel its strangth. i tried some new techniques, though unsucessfully, i've got some experiences. i always want

This is the first time i drawed a black and write watercolor, which means i only used the nuture tint. i saw this photo on instagram and i thought why not try once back and white? only one color makes things easier, i only need to care about the depth of the painting. i didn't do it exactly according to the reference photo, i was trying to capture
