Hello and thank you for choosing to click on my blog post!
My name is Amin, and for my in-depth project this year, I decided to learn the “art” of watercolor painting. I started off knowing NOTHING about watercolor, but with the help of my partner, Simran, and my mentor, Nina, I was able to improve my techniques and learn new skills. For my final presentation, I decided to make 5 different paintings and show a time-lapse video of the painting progress.
Have fun looking through my presentation!

Please leave a comment if you have any questions, and thank you for joining me tonight!
Hey Amin! I love your use of gradients in your drawing and the colour scheme you used in every photo. I can tell the warmth or the season of each drawing from the colours. I hope you continue to explore new creative drawings and styles of painting.
Thank you for the feedback!
This is really cool! I can really tell that you’ve learned a lot about watercolor painting from this project. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Your paintings are really cool and the time-lapse videos are a nice touch!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like the paintings.
Hey Amin!
I love the artwork! Sketching and painting are both passions of mine, but I’m still quite new to watercolor. I like the fact that you decided to show your process by taking time-lapse videos.
I read a little bit about watercolor from your previous in-depth posts. Could you please tell me about how the different types of watercolor styles (wet on wet, dry on wet, etc.) impact the painting? Which styles were easier/harder to paint?
Great job! I hope you keep practicing watercolor.

Thank you so much! Although I’m not too sure, I would say based off of personal experience, wet-on-wet makes the painting more softer while wet-on-dry makes the painting more sharper. Wet-on-wet made it more easier to paint the background, while wet-on-dry made it more easier to paint the main subject of the painting. Thanks for asking!
Thanks for sharing so many of your art pieces. I love the time-lapsed filming of a painting in action. Which is your favorite art piece and why?
Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked the time-lapse videos. To answer your question, my favourite painting would be the one of Goku, as I drew it because it is the main character of Mr. Morris’s favourite anime. Also, the book I used to sketch the painting was given to me by Mr. Morris as a secret Santa gift.
Your art is so beautiful! I love how you captured the light in Autumn Leaves!
Thank you so much! Autumn Leaves is one of my favourite paintings too. I’m glad you liked it.
LOVE THIS! you are so artistic, Amin!
Thank you for your complement Joanna! I’m glad that you love my paintings.
Hi,
I have been trying watercolour too, during the pandemic. Have you tried painting any local scenery? Where do you get your ideas of what to paint?
Thank you so much for your question! I have not painted any local scenery’s yet, but I hope to do so in the future. For now, I am getting my ideas off of the internet. Thank you!
Wow Amin! Your paintings are amazing! I really enjoyed to process videos of your artwork!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like my paintings!
Great painting, very well done and the time lapse videos are very effective.
Mrs. C. Landsky
Thank you so much!
Those all look amazing!
Thanks! I’m glad you like them:)
Hey nice job Amin, they look amazing! Which painting was the most fun for you to make and why?
Thanks! I’m happy that you think my paintings are good. I would say I enjoyed making the Goku painting the most, as I made it because of Mr. Morris.
Well done, Amin! Watercolour is deceptively simply looking. I love the effect you created in some pieces of reflection and movement!
Thank you so much! I am delighted that you like my paintings!
Great work Amin! I like how you included the time-elapse for each of your paintings.
Thanks Simran! I’m glad you like the time-lapse videos!
Wow!
your autumn painting is my favourite I think. but they are all so good!
Thank you Mel! Autumn Leaves is also one of my favorites!
WOW! I love all your painting, but my favorite is the Autumn Leaves! You are so talented! You can see that you put in a lot of effort into this project! Watching all videos was so cool! How long did it usually take you to paint one of the paintings?
Thanks Emma! I would say I spent around 30 minutes for each painting.
These are all really well done! Personally, I really like the autumn leaves painting, but in general, they’re all really good! I really love how you had a timelapse of all of your paintings!
Thanks MyungJoon:) Autumn Leaves is also one of my most favourite pieces.
This is very impressive! You clearly put a lot of time into this project. What other types of art, if any, have you learned in the past? Are you planning on continuing with this style of art? Great work!
Thank you! I have never learned any kind of art in the past, and I am hoping to continue with this style of art.
