Thank you for your support and thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely do a cafe scene once I trained myself to draw more realistic human figures. Stay tuned!

No need of human figures . I actually have a photo of it from Google. It's a simple sideview of a cafe with 2 chars and a table outside a under a big umbrella besides is a plant.

Beautifully done! I love the fine line work on the boat rigging, particularly how you loosely used the rule to get an accurate line. I have visited that scene in Sydney and took many photographs in the city, a wonderful place. However, I always think line and wash conveys the atmosphere and subtlety better than a photograph which can look unnecessarily fussy. Well done.
@UniquelyChie15 күн бұрын
Thank you! I took many photos of the scene too but since my camera didn't have a wide angle lense, I can't get every interesting feature I want in the same photo. That was what gave me the idea to combine all the features I want into a line and wash painting.

What did you do to “get out of your own way”? It’s a lovely painting however, I’m not sure what you did differently.
@UniquelyChie16 күн бұрын
Thank you for your comments! I usually draw on white paper without any prior wash and for this time I did an initial wash before putting down any drawing. It might be a small change, but for someone like me who can be quite set in my ways, this initial wash disengaged me from my usual painting process and forced me to choose my subsequent colors wisely. It also stopped me from defaulting to my usual reaction and painting it in black, exactly as I see in the reference photo. In a way, it helped me to get out of my set way. I hope that makes sense.

thanks for shaing! would you please explain the color mix on the descripiton? thanks!!!!
@UniquelyChie17 күн бұрын
My usual color palette consists of roughly around 8 colors (mostly a warm and cool of each primary color of red, yellow and blue): cadmium red, alizarin crimson, cadmium yellow, raw sienna, burnt sienna, cerulean blue, ultramarine blue, sap green and payne's grey. Sometimes I do experiment with new colors and in this case I used a bit of cobalt green for the shadows just to see how it works. I keep to the general color mixing principle eg. adding more blue to yellow for a darker green or adding more yellow to a green or blue to get a lighter green. With those 8 colors I usually have all the colors I need to paint a picture. I hope that helps.

Over the 9 years since I began watercolour painting I've taken about 5 workshops - some of them with very well respected international watercolour artists like Alvaro Castagnet and Herman Pekel. At their workshops all I wanted to do was just watch them paint and hope that I could absorb as much as possible about their process - here's the thing, I never wanted to paint like them or anyone else for that matter, I was just hoping to learn some different or new approaches to either choosing subjects, mark making or watercolour painting in general. I realised, like you did, that taking workshops and courses means you are learning how to paint like someone else. I couldn't relate to what they were teaching me because their process is different to my process and approach and I felt quite 'lost' when trying to follow them... And now after sooooo many years of learning to paint with watercolour I know that when first beginning with watercolours the most important thing to learn is how your paints work, explore as many possibilities of wet on wet, wet on dry and dry brush as you can come up with, it's only through knowing how the amount of pigment and water in your brush will react to the pigment/water on your paper that you'll be ready to tackle some serious painting... and then we learn value and composition..... This is how I learned to trust myself when painting and the experience is sooooo much more enjoyable because I'm expressing myself and not trying to copy others...
@UniquelyChie22 күн бұрын
I think it's easy to fall into the copying trap because we aspire to be as good an artist as them. It's a good thing to realise it's not working and go on to find our own way because I feel that everyone learn and see things differently. It took me a long time but I'm glad I went through it and found a way that is more suitable for myself as you have too! Now, I would just watch and admire them paint and if I find their approach in mark making improves mine, I take them onboard, but I stopped wanting to be like them. Thank you for sharing your valuable experiences!

I too have struggled with the concept of making quick wobbly lines for a loose appearance. However, I am a Virgo and a die-hard perfectionist and to be honest, like the look of more intentional lines in my artwork. Beautiful painting!
@UniquelyChieАй бұрын
That was what I realised too! I have since found artists with very detailed paintings and I love them. So much to see in just one painting and I then realised there is nothing wrong with details.

Incredible work, I love this! I’m embracing my need for detail in my art. I’ve tried and most times failed when painting in a loose style. Even when I paint or color florals with coloring pencils, I prefer to paint or color one flower with detail, depth, and dimension, than struggle to paint a bunch of flowers in a loose style.

I’m an intermediate amateur artist and I avoid videos and advice on finding one’s style. Practicing is more important than finding one’s style. How I paint naturally and comfortably (which is semi realistic) is my style. I love your line and wash art. I’ve been avoiding detailed buildings and I think line and wash for architecture is spot on. I’m in the process of drawing and painting some buildings in line and wash, otherwise I can’t see how I will manage to capture the details. Thank you.

I like your painting a lot and recognized Our Ladys Church at the first glimpse (I live not far away).
