In Task 1, I tried to show my daily life in London. I drew my favourite burger, my favourite cafe, my room, my favourite perfume, the cafe, the florist and so on. These are all things that surround me in my daily life, but also things that I love, and because of this, I am very passionate about drawing them. I used markers, watercolours and oil sticks during this task, and it was a great experience to use different mediums and materials to give my paintings a different feel and atmosphere, and to analyse my subjects from a different perspective. However, during the creation of task 1, I found that I was obsessed with the straightforward presentation of the objects, with reducing the shapes and even the colours of the objects, which I think was not conducive to my inspiration and I hope that next time I will be able to paint more spontaneously, changing the shapes and colours of the objects and not be afraid of making “mistakes”.
For Task 2, I was inspired by an exhibition in kew garden called when flowers dream, which was very dreamy. I took some pictures from this exhibition and then reorganised them to make my own patterns using zooming in or out or focusing on a small detail. I found this very interesting because in this way it made me think about the process of painting, rather than just restoring the thing, so I gained a lot of inspiration that I didn’t have before. For this task I painted more freely and used fantastic colours as much as I could to recreate the atmosphere of the exhibition.
In general, as there were no specific requirements for either task, my mind was not confined and I was freer to paint what I wanted to paint and I was allowed to use mixed media, which made my work more varied and interesting. However, this assignment also reflected many of my problems, such as being too obsessed with reducing the shapes of objects, and in the future I will try to be more spontaneous and not obsess over details.

I am very glad to see the two tasks you made. The pictures you made are very beautiful. I can obviously see that you have some basic skills in painting and are proficient in some painting techniques. I also like the way you match colors. I can see your ability and the talent you show in these two tasks.
In the talking colour of task 1, I can see that you used a lot of different media in the process of drawing these pictures. I am very happy to see the two tasks you made. The pictures you made are very beautiful. The images you create have your own style and ideas. I also like the way you match colors. I can see your ability and the talent you show in these two tasks.
In the talking colour of task 1, I can see that you used many different media in the process of drawing these pictures, I can see that your paintings are relatively detailed and delicate, I can feel that you are good at observing things around you, very careful, I like your first picture and your fourth picture very much. In the first picture, you did a good job in presenting the McDonald’s food with watercolors, which I like very much, and you drew the ordinary food beautifully. In the fourth picture, I think you did the best job in this task. Although your drawing is very simple, it shows the sense of interior space. In Task 2, the overall colors of these patterns you created were warm colors, which gave me a warm and dreamy feeling. These colors set off the overall atmosphere of the pictures well. Some plants in the picture were also very beautiful, and I liked the overall arrangement of the patterns very much. The overall feeling is very simple, the color is very bright and warm, very fresh, but also a sense of space.
As suggested, I think you can be more relaxed to make your pictures. Besides, I think your pictures are quite perfect. I really appreciate the atmosphere of your pictures and colors, which are very interesting and will give me some good associations. I also like your personal style reflected in the picture. I hope you can continue to explore your own style and show your talent in the future professional study
