Theme: A water color painting inspired by the tranquility of small alleys in Japan, with cafes lined up along the alley during the day.
Medium: Kuretake watercolor
Material: 200gsm 100% acid free cotton paper
Challenge & Solution: I feel that the challenge of this painting was to create light and shadow areas to create enough contrast to portray the sunny day in an alley. Using different shades of the same colour helps to create a smooth shadowed area. Leaving whites gives a very strong contrast and ‘brightness’ in the painting as if sun was shining on its surface.
