I love to be able to see snow during winter time, as it enhance the mood of the holiday season. During a snowing day, I can't help but take my camera with me and trying to capture the winter wonderland! This painting is done by using a photo reference I took at the nearby barn. Even during a snowy day, the horses still come out and graze in the morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1475168407915-X920PGKIYKHMF4E0BEQP/madison_ave.jpg Scenery - Madison Ave, NYC Last time I went to NY was about 13 years ago.

My first job was here, doing this painting really took me back to the good old times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1478670336803-F7G08RSC691B7JCQS6W2/Morning_fog.jpg Scenery - Morning Fog I encountered this scenery on my way to work the other day. The heavy morning fog transform this street where I pass every morning. I love atmospheric scenery like this, and watercolor is probably the best medium when it comes to painting atmosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1469844065444-L2JSHAKHXLAP1BXHLGGU/water_lily.jpg Scenery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1458857814343-KD36RUKXIIDKCBDOG6K1/image-asset.jpeg Scenery - Afternoon at Pomegranate Just a weekend afternoon at the local bistro where good foods and great coffees are served! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1478670797402-TJENV3N37WNPA7ZTIRGY/wet_ny.jpg Scenery - Rainy day in NYC I never really get tire of painting a wet street scene. When I do, I like using a tall and slim dimension like this to create the sense of scale and depth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1464910085104-GGQLABJKFX8HSXJRMPTH/cle_elum_river.jpg Scenery - Cle Elum River This one was painted on location during one of my sabbatical week. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Instead of bringing my own water for this painting, I used the water from the river which I painted from.

Ironically, painting water surface with watercolor is rather difficult. But when I was able to pull it off, it's very rewarding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1460890750301-780GT7B4GYQL6L5UQF5B/walking_forward.jpg Scenery - Walking Forward This painting was done referencing one of the snapchat post from my friend Sean McCabe. I've been inspired and motivated by his message and content for quite sometime. When I saw this image he took with his entrepreneur friends, I really had the urge to capture how they always moving forward reaching their goal! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1454916004934-WUPRJ6DES0WAFVXOZYQC/image-asset.jpeg Scenery - Wet Afternoon in Redmond I drive by this place every morning.

It's a great school but it's very small compare to a Sate University. Therefore I never really get to taste what it's like to study in a huge beautiful campus. But at least I am free to visit and enjoy the place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1432963324732-BFSRVDXGQ1MJE1ZYXB8F/image-asset.jpeg Scenery - Pike Market Pike Market in Seattle.

Like having a coffee with your loved one, driving down the road with your favorite music, or looking out at the sunset at the beach?

This is why I spent a lot more time on this one and make it a lot more refined and finished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1539816230550-PRNOPPJDBKNIFIOKRPW9/still_sea.jpg Portrait - Still Sea Were you ever in a moment when you wish it can last forever?

I just thought it is a beautiful photo with a great expression on her face. To translate a photo with strong lighting contrast to a watercolor painting is a big challenge, but I like how it turned out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1531353994283-ZWXVH4THI3ATCYAOMXEE/Anna_char.jpg Portrait - Anna I recently got a iPad Pro and Apple pencil. I am in love with the mobility of it. I can start a drawing at home. Continue to work on it in a coffee shop, at the office or on an airplane ride. It’s the best time to be an artist. The tool that’s available for us is amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1579112967001-OAYTGSRERY71UZG85G6T/alicia_vik.jpg Portrait https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1541348846906-1CIS42JRHYX6D9N0Z7ZC/Julia.jpg Portrait - Julia I really like the angle and the lighting of this photo.

I also can not say I am a sports fan. You won't see me in the bar cheering for my favorite team. However, when I was able to observe individual athletes. Watching them do what the do best and push the limit with their dedication. It's very similar to artists who pursue to improve their craft. And for that reason, I like to paint them once in a while as a way to cheer them on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1515905313847-NJJGA039WYTCIT57N2FL/Valerie_web.jpg Portrait - Valerie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1519598935518-4CLRWZWISXZYBDK7PQS2/Torey2_web.jpg Portrait - Torey Torey is my colleague who I had the pleasure to paint.

The camera can still move when you press and release the shutter button. A slight movement can result in a blurry image.

Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 1. I used clean water wet the sky with a big brush, a bit randomly but keep in mind the shape of the cloud and where the soft edge to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490202059731-OI8H9A1SRPB7CUMJLOTN/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 3. I started to give the cloud some volume by adding some dark. Use the same color with your sky but add some other paint such as Alizarin Crimson and a touch of Burnt Umber. I re-wet the area as needed, and I soften some edges with clean waters. I turn the paper side ways sometime so the wash won't carry all the paint vertically. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490201482651-4VCKDD9FG2W2WT6O5UJD/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 2. While it's still wet, I started to put in some Cobalt Blue, that will be the blue sky. Again I keep in mind the shape of the cloud. When the paint hits the wet area, it becomes a soft edge. When the paint hits the dry area, it'll be hard edge. Clouds are basically a mixture of hard and soft edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490202102923-5ZW5K7UJ5VY72M6WVZC7/timelapse_00119.jpg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 4. I worked down rapidly to the horizon. The reason I had a tape is that I want the edge to be straight and clean. Sea line should be very straight and clean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490202887121-S1KLSAD7I6C5CU2AEF4C/timelapse_00256.jpg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 1. A lot happens in this part. First I waited the sky to dry, then I started to paint the mid-ground land. I used a relatively big brush, not as big as the brush for the sky, but my second big brush. This allow me to be able to cover enough ground with as few brush stroke as I can. Always remember to use the bead and you move down, and adding different shades of colors while you can when the wash is still wet. I left out the ocean in the foreground for now. After the first wash for the land is dry, I use a masking tape again to tape off the sky and paint in the ocean in the far distance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490203369079-LL726DXWXXCQZ4GSDAFY/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 2. The tap removed, and we have a nice clean ocean line. I then started to paint the shadow of the rocks. The mixture should be more dry. Just add enough water to let the paint flows easily without getting watery. The light is from top down so I kept most of the green belt light. When painting the shadow of the rocks, I tried to stay lose and the shape sharp. The contrasts of the light and dark is what gives the rock forms. What I like about this scenery in particular is the contrast of the sharpness of the rock and the softness of the sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490203833443-1B9WPA5EMHK3DKGZOXIB/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 1. Now it's time to do the Ocean. it's really important we do it in one go. I did some fast strokes around the rock to let the dry brush edges becomes the foam and the crashing waves. While the wash is still wet, I added in some quite heavy mixture of Cobalt Turquoise and Cobalt Blue to gives the water some depth. The ocean in the distance typically don't have much reflections, but I added a bit of reflections for the big rock on the right, just to make it a bit more interesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490204088140-TOZX7DMVD3F5IN3EX4X8/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 1. I added some trees in the background rock. It's just a very simple shape so I don't fuss with it too much. I then started to paint the foreground green. Again I kept it as clean as possible. I painted around the golf ball. My usual green mixture is using Cobalt Turquoise with Yellow Ocher and other warm colors. I splattered some clean water for subtle textures, and some dry brushing after the wash is dry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490204379119-9T0TM2SD2NMVF6YSF8SH/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole 2. I did a glaze for the foreground green after it's dry. Making it a bit darker will separate it from the mid and background. This is where the viewer is standing, so it should feel solid. It's also the time to added some seagulls in the background sky and some final touches here and there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490204599975-DR70GJKAAA1RUIKXINKM/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole Here's the finished painting. I did some quick shading on the golf ball and give it a quick cast shadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1490205462445-1AOEW197FMJO0R9UDQO2/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Cypress Point Country Club - No. 16 Hole https://cafewatercolor.com/blog/056 monthly 0.5 2017-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489570973611-F7TAT00HDQ6WNKZI04AS/Dafne.jpg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489570480752-IUOT2B99DS5K57XXSVU9/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489571894310-GYFTB0QQMVZ9MV7FWGBV/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489571933256-7D5HMGT5C9HTF6D19C4A/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489573054037-RUGL0N38W5PNZMW52THY/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489572557260-X77ICGL6U2JCIJPH29ZI/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489573983881-OEEMC8QZU5BJ3CVFTP6S/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489574507555-SV6W9A0XQKP08XU7KFTM/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489575742130-49D9I578ZIFOS7LQU6WM/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1489576590636-843XX2O8DJMRDZM3NEKI/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Dafne https://cafewatercolor.com/blog/055 monthly 0.5 2018-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1488995364126-32FLMK8DUEOINFQTJAS3/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Why some artists paint for so long but shown only a little improvement? https://cafewatercolor.com/blog/054 monthly 0.5 2017-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1488390897821-EZ1XQU5K5MPHQDVNRHWL/tty_back2.jpg Watercolor Wednesday - Painting speed is not a skill, it's aquired by experience https://cafewatercolor.com/blog/053 monthly 0.5 2017-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1487737449835-LU0ZZIOSKJ9RQEGWA8IF/BV_st.jpg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Beuna Vista Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1487738286751-PNIHJINHOIOW3W3DPE65/BV_st_WC_ref.jpg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Beuna Vista Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1487740576622-UAZEBYQ9RFPAYCNNVNV0/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Beuna Vista Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1487744523695-PCVI3ZV5RUCS1L1FI6K1/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - Behind the painting - Beuna Vista Street https://cafewatercolor.com/blog/052 monthly 0.5 2017-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1487181170057-Q771Y0P1XWA5WUTGQV5G/tty_back.jpg Watercolor Wednesday - The power of white spaces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1487183080367-BV0FGI7BQC1N0N93FBL5/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - The power of white spaces https://cafewatercolor.com/blog/051 monthly 0.5 2018-08-17 https://cafewatercolor.com/blog/050 monthly 0.5 2018-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1485928885333-UPDDB9QP0Z08P0N0NF3F/image-asset.jpeg Watercolor Wednesday - How to avoid muddy, dirty looking colors with fewer brush strokes.

I love to be able to see snow during winter time, as it enhance the mood of the holiday season. During a snowing day, I can't help but take my camera with me and trying to capture the winter wonderland! This painting is done by using a photo reference I took at the nearby barn. Even during a snowy day, the horses still come out and graze in the morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1475168407915-X920PGKIYKHMF4E0BEQP/madison_ave.jpg Scenery - Madison Ave, NYC Last time I went to NY was about 13 years ago.

I also can not say I am a sports fan. You won't see me in the bar cheering for my favorite team. However, when I was able to observe individual athletes.

And for that reason, I like to paint them once in a while as a way to cheer them on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1515905313847-NJJGA039WYTCIT57N2FL/Valerie_web.jpg People - Valerie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5535373ee4b097f3080ff3c3/1519598935518-4CLRWZWISXZYBDK7PQS2/Torey2_web.jpg People - Torey Torey is my colleague who I had the pleasure to paint.
