Figure 1 Chinese watercolor style birds

BY LAMI ZHANG

This is one of the first pieces of work I did in my printing class. It is basic printing, in black and white. This picture shows the shadows of a boat, bridge, and the buildings behind.

This is also a printing work. It is more abstract than the previous one. The twisted, winding streets remind me of the alleyways in Paris. I can imagine sitting in a café in this black and white artwork and drinking coffee with a slice of cheesecake.

This is a real print work. I cut out the different pieces, stuck them on a piece of paper and ran it through a machine.

During the winter vacation, I enrolled in a watercolor workshop. This is the type of art I love the most. Cartoon with a hint of realism painted on a canvas with semi-transparent colors.

SHE FLIPPED HER LONG, SHINY HAIR BEHIND ONE SHOULDER AND SMILED THAT AWARD WINNING SMILE.“GOOD JOB, KEEP IT UP.” THE PHOTOGRAPHERS DANCED AROUND HER AND CLICKED ON THEIR BIG BLACK CAMERAS. FLASH FLASH FLASH

This is a water painting of famous French painter Martisse’s Fauvism painting. Its main part is the layering of colors. For example, if you look carefully at the table cloth, you can see that it is made up of a light transparent blue, darker blue dots, and finally the blue black coloring used to mark the shadows.

THESE TWO DRAWINGS HAVE MORE OF A WHIMSICAL FEELING TO THEM. THE FIRST ONE IF A RIBBON THAT MARKS THE BOUNDARIES OF MULTIPLE PATTERNS, AGAIN DONE WITH THE PRINTING TECHNIQUE. THE SECOND IS A WATERCOLOR PAINTING DONE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. IT’S INSPIRED BY THE CHILDHOOD TALE LITTLE RIDING HOOD.
