Chinese to English, Feng Shui

The original idea was to use a character to embody the feeling of wind and water. But at that time, painting "water" was a bit difficult for me, and I had less practice. But then I thought about it, as long as I can think of something I want to express, wouldn’t it be possible to successfully express it by grasping a few characteristics? "Water" is nothing more than transparent. How to express transparency? The ability to see other things through it, as well as the ripples of light in the sun, are properties of water. So the performance of "water" was solved.

——My original conceivation is that I wanted to use a role to body forth the sense of wind snd water. It was difficult, however, for me to picture “water” then and there, for I seldom practiced painting water. Yet, on thinking better of what I want to display, I realized that I was able to succeed to materialize it by means of catching hold of a few of its identities so long as I could think it out. Clarity is the attribute of water. Now how can I show it out? One can see other things though water and the reflected wave in the Sun, which are all its clarity. Upon that, it has been settled to picture water.

Next is the wind. Wind is colorless and invisible. How can it be reflected in the characters? When I think about it, the wind blows the leaves, and in the same way, it is like the hair on the human body being blown by the wind, so the expression of "wind" is also completed.

——The next is Wind. Wind is colourless and bodiless, how could I incarnate it on a character? Leaves' waving suggests a rush of wind blowing, the same as a character's hair. Thus, the embodiment of wind came out in my heart.

I am good at female characters, and in my heart, young girls are a representative of freshness and purity to me, so I used female elf characters as the theme. reflect.

——I am good at portraying the female figure, and moreover, a young girl means a sort of pure and fresh incarnation, so I adopt a female fairy to incarnate the motif.

The background is sky blue, and the white clouds make the sky more layered. The color of the hair is brown and black basic color, plus the colorful diffuse color under the light, reflecting the wonderful visual effect.

The water uses seawater blue as the basic color, accompanied by colorful diffuse colors to achieve the same visual effect.

——Sky blue is chosen as the color of the background. A sheet of white cloud makes the sky more full of arrangement. The base color for the hair is painted dark brow adding some diffuse reflection colouring, and the dulcet visual effect is incarnated finally. As for the water, sea blue is chosen as the base color and some diffuse reflection colorin as its setoff, which arrive at the visual effect

3. My sentiment/my sentiment

PS. Originally, I painted the character of an elf, and the important feature of the elf is the pointed one. The ears were covered up during production because of the need for flowing hair, so the expression of the ears was abandoned without damaging the main idea.

——What began with was to potray a genius character whose ears could incarnate its important characteristic, but when bringing it into pinting, the ears were covered because of the need of the hair floating with wind, so I have to give up incarnating them so as not to damage the major idea of ​​the painting.
