January marks the beginning of the third watercolor workshop, can't be more excited about the class.
Recently I found myself having so much idea of what to paint but never managed to get it on the paper. Kept telling myself I would do it the next day, haha my old habit. Attending a class is a good idea I guess, like it really forces me to paint in a way.

One word to describe the third session: liberating. たのしかった! Fun!
Well, the first one hour we learnt a great deal about the design theory. Like how color, value contrast and texture can enhance a painting's center of interest. After all the theory, it was time to put it into practice. We were having en plein air sketch session! Hurray!
We went out to the street and we just picked any building to sketch. That was my first time sketching in public openly. Before, whenever I sketched outside, I did it secretly, so I never enjoyed it. The first few minutes I felt a little bit embarrassed by people looking at us, but after awhile, it was easier just to ignore the passers by.

My first time attending a workshop and it met my expectation. The session was fun and it felt nice to be in a room with 8 other people sharing the same passion, drawing!
This week is all about making lines, recognizing shapes, and forms. An hour before the session ended, we were instructed to make a sketching from a black and white photo of a rustic looking house, taken at the last Malay village in Singapore.
