What is visual language. Let’s break the term apart first. Visual is what you see. Language is a form of communication, either speak or written. Simply put, visual language is to communicate with the viewer by what you show them. In this case, it is your painting. Since my day job is working on sci-fi video game. Visual language becomes very important, because even though we are creating futuristic looking environment, objects and characters. The players need to get what are they seeing in the game, and they need to get it in an instant!

To have light in the watercolor, you have to paint around it to preserve it. There's something what I liked to call the "breathing room". The paintings will feel dead when you try to fill everything in, because you didn't leave any breathing room.
