My friend once told me that for water colour, you cannot apply the paint based on the colour you see; you have to mix the colours. I never managed to figure out how it works. However, it doesn’t stop me from admiring the beauty of water colour painting.
Out of all the above paintings, I prefer the two Chinese ink paintings (ops, they are not water colour paintings!). Not because they are nicer than the rest, just that I like simplicity. It is amazing how people can create beautiful artworks with limited colour chioces.
However, I like the effects created by watercolour. I personally feel water colour is the best medium to painting impressionism style of paintings.
