Features: "A Fragrant Breeze" is a small still-life painting in watercolor created using direct painting techniques. Direct painting omits the light wash stage that transitions from sketch to color, applying colors directly from the local areas. Therefore, when painting, the artist must observe the whole while focusing on the local, ensuring both the form and color of each object are depicted while also considering the surrounding objects, environment, and shadows. This approach prevents the objects from appearing isolated and helps convey space and volume.
