First Attempt with Water Colour

The last time I painted with water colours was probably when I was 6 or 7 years old so I thought to sign up for a water colour class and see how it goes.

Honestly, I find it extremely difficult and I panicked in class because my water was spreading all over. I met an amazing lady in the class and she told me that practice makes perfect. So I decided hell with it I will continue my classes and till I somewhat master it.

So the first class was about painting a fashionista.

Gouache Painting

When I was a kid, drawing and painting were things I was passionate about and my mum enrolled me in an Art Institute for summer holidays and I learned a lot but after my mother died, my interest in art started to die slowly. However, I would still paint or sketch whenever I found the time but I was constantly busy which didn’t allow me to advance in my art. So now that I actually have time, I enrolled in Gouache classes  to practice and learn new techniques so here is what I’ve done recently.

My first Gouache painting. It was intense but I had fun.

Pop Art was my second attempt. The class is only 3 hours so I didn’t have time to paint over to make the colours bold.
