Pustaka Negeri Sarawak

Watercolor probably has more variations in technique than any other medium. Lam Siong has distinctive watercolor painting style. Lam depicts the Pustaka Negeri Sarawak (The Sarawak State Library) viewed from the lake providing interesting lake refectories of the magnificent library building. He paints with a hard-edged method, where a large area (or wash) is laid down and pools the let try. Smaller areas are laid down in the same manner on the top of the large area, creating a sparkling layer of broken lines and colors. He uses wet techniques, working on moistened paper or laying a wash on dry paper and then moistening it for a soft edge. Most, but not at all, artists use combinations of both along with many other things.
