Its been at least 26 years since I last painted anything and that was back in school during art class! lol
Bought the easel, paints, palettes... the whole she-bang for Niangzi to indulge herself but decided to take a shot at it myself today after getting enough inspiration ogling at umm.... lets just say... fashion trends, walking Orchard today.
This was actually quite fun. Jee Yin sitting next to me watching and inquisitively asking every 2 seconds "Papa what are you doing?", mingled with the occasional "Papa I want to do painting also."
Going to make him a mini easel so he can sit and "paint" too, the next time either Niangzi or myself decides to paint again.
This painting btw, is titled;
"Sol", 2012
Watercolour on Paper
16.54" x 11.69"
Awesome! Sol?
ReplyDelete:) "Sol" means "Sun" in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The colors are very inviting. Wanna illustrate a children's book?
ReplyDeleteI like.....
ReplyDeletehaha I remember your book "Legend of the Blue Love Puff". I'm not sure if my painting is good enough for illustrating books. :P
ReplyDeleteI keep imagining a shadow standing under the tree..facing the sun..
ReplyDeleteIs it water color or gouache ? Water color is used for its transparency which I cannot see in your work. Lovely colors ! This tree facing the sun could be interesting to analyze. Its base looks so thin and fragile... :p . I note also that you wisely avoided to draw the shadow of the tree. Love the signature !
ReplyDeletehahaha I wanted to do that and draw in a figure somewhere between the sun and the tree but then decided to leave it.
ReplyDeleteWatercolor but I used very little water and most of the highlighting was with paint direct from the tube.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeletemerci!
