Breakfast Toast Gouache Postcard In Watercolor With Xiao Fan
Experience the charm of everyday moments through watercolor painting with artist and designer Xiao Fan, known for her playful approach to illustration and tactile art-making.
In this workshop, participants will create a breakfast toast-themed postcard that explores colour, texture, and composition through layered washes and expressive brushwork. Xiao Fan will guide participants in simplifying forms, arranging elements, and capturing the warmth and character of familiar breakfast items. Each participant will develop a personal interpretation of their toast composition, focusing on balance, colour harmony, and visual storytelling.
What to Expect
Participants will receive guided instruction on watercolor techniques for painting simple forms, building colour layers, and creating soft textures. The session will explore controlled washes, brush movement, and tonal variation to bring out depth and detail in everyday subjects. Creative exercises will focus on composing postcard-sized artworks that feel complete and visually engaging. All tools and materials are provided in a relaxed, beginner-friendly setting.
Why Join
A breakfast toast theme offers an approachable and engaging subject in watercolor, allowing participants to explore composition, colour, and texture in a manageable format. This workshop provides both technical guidance and a light, enjoyable space to experiment, making it suitable for beginners as well as those looking to refine their illustrative style.
About the Subject
Watercolor is well suited for capturing everyday subjects, as its transparency allows for subtle layering and gentle tonal shifts. By understanding how pigment, water, and timing interact, participants can create depth, warmth, and character within simple forms. Each postcard can stand on its own as a finished piece or serve as a starting point for further exploration into food illustration and small-format painting.
About The Artist
Xiao Fan is an illustrator and maker with a deep appreciation for the tactile beauty of handcrafted art. Her creative practice draws inspiration from travel, nature, and everyday life, transforming simple observations into charming, story-rich designs. With a background in illustration and a passion for accessible, hands-on creativity, she encourages people to find joy in making things that are uniquely their own. Her work often centres on the idea that personal narratives can be preserved through objects — from a hand-carved stamp to a lovingly filled journal — each becoming a small but lasting piece of one’s story.
