Lately
I am exploring the world of John Singer Sargent by re-creating his watercolour
works.
At first, I wanted to imitate his
bold and confident brush strokes that I lack. But then, I discover his use of colour is no
accident -- the light tone is backed by the darker tone beside, the warm and
the cold colours always go hand in hand, while the supplementary colours are,
well, supplementing each other. Every
time I apply a patch of colour, I would say to myself, wow, that’s clever.
