some weekend practice with color and brushwork
Frog & Toad Release
A couple of colouring pages I drew for my nephew, Ray celebrating his 3yo birthday this month. Inspired by the items that he packed in his bags for hiking among many things- 2 encyclopedia books on animals.
In light of his birthday, Ray is happy to release these amphibians, free for all to colour! :)
Water Tiger
Hey, I’m back to blogging ;)
For weeks, I was haunted by the idea that some art that I’ve made could be tampered by too many factors/ influences/ purpose, except what I truly want it to be.
So I gave myself this small project of painting a Water Tiger for Chinese New Year.
Perfect chance to reflect, think about what I want to say, and how I say it (visually)..to myself. This is important, I realise most of the time I consider the viewer/ client’s POV, I rarely think about myself.
Not a yellow and red dominant piece to suit the thematic festive palette. There was much more self-conversation going on. I love it- the process.
Anyway, I hope this tiger, though battled brings clarity, courage and protection to everyone all year round.
Happy Chinese New Year!
