Since the talk with the artist Ler Hock Chuan, I have been reflecting on my move forward. I took out books on figure drawing and perspective. I watched some youtube on composition and practiced. I don’t feel as much fear and being lost. I feel more confident when I see some progress in my skills. I have not seen actual progress for a very long time. Really appreciate Mr Ler Hock Chuan’s guidance.
Mastering Composition by Ian Roberts really made me feel much more confident and made think beyond following the photograph. For paintings I actually drew multiple small versions of the picture to figure out the composition, the value and colour scheme. Eric Yi Lin Cafe Watercolour coffee talk was really useful in giving me directions which areas to practice.
