7th lesson: We started the lesson with shading practice and learnt how to draw a 3D cube and sphere.
Ayaka’s control with straight lines is good! She is very careful with details. Sometimes, there are lines that are not perfect, but I hope she knows that those lines are evidence of learning – and they show her observation very well!We then draw a picture of her sticker. It’s great that she learn how to draw big this time. We will continue to practice in the future.

6th lesson: Ayaka painted from observation today. She learnt to plan the composition and draw big on paper. She then learnt to use wet-on-wet technique with watercolor. Good job!

4th lesson with Ayaka!
Today Ayaka learned how to create a black-and-white value study – an important step in understanding light, shadow, and depth in drawing. After that, we still had time to move on to a color version based on her black-and-white study.
Ayaka followed the transition from value to color very well, and it helped her understand how colors also carry light and shadow. Great progress! -
3rd lesson!
Ayaka painted gradient colors – an essential skill for building smooth transitions in painting.
She chose the flower reference and picked the colors by herself. Ayaka was observant to how the colors shift from light to dark. Wonderful!
If possible, I’d love to encourage her to keep exploring more color variations. -
5th lesson!
Ayaka learned how to paint using color relationships. We practiced the three basic relationships: analogous, complementary, and triadic.
Ayaka followed the exercises very well. She was focused and careful in choosing colors for each study. Excellent!
Maybe we will explore more color relationships in future drawings and try to apply them to flowers, animals, or small objects she likes.
