Watercolour - Tree Berries Day
This will be a small but intensive project which we will learn the watercolour techniques of handling the live fruit objects. I chose the red berries from tree and hope it will purify the theme, as well as keep the chaos away.
A detailed colour theory presentation to help you build up the knowledge in dealing with saturation, density and value, as well as use complimentary colours to create the depth of form. This will also be an excellent experience to train our eyes to find the beauty in our nature, and turn the findings into our creative inspiration.
The watercolour mixing and brush stroke handling techniques will be another key part in this lesson. You may catch the close observation during my demo or learn at your own steps whenever you feel comfortable.

Rule of image composition and planning
Artistic grouping with duplicated objects
Intensive colour knowledge and theory in red fruit
Contrast VS harmony, the way to reach balance
