I Am Painting Again!

Last week I told Lui that I wanted to paint again so here I am this week with my acrylic paints! Lui brought a watercolor paper. I painted background with blue wash (blue paints with water) . . .

Then I made blue dots followed by yellow dots to make green landscape. I did the same on the other side. Then I painted the tree branches . . .

Then I made green dots for leaves and put yellow dots on top of it later. I also made yellow and red dots on the sides of the landscape. Then I applied black for shading . . . and here is my version of Claude Monet's Bridge painting done in an hour:

I also made a drawing of it using my watercolor pencils on my sketchpad and later painted over it using my brush and little water to blend my drawing. I did this version in 30 minutes! 

I think I want to paint again!

Father's Day!

Last Sunday was Father's day and I told Lui how I spent it without my father. My father died a long time ago and I can not remember the exact date. But this year I spent it with my brother Ricky and his family. We went to church and the priest gave this whistle. It must mean something except that I can not remember what it is. Lui said I should try to remember. But I told her I remember how it looks because I kept it in my bag. But when I looked the whistle is gone!

Belated Happy Father's day to my brother Ricky, Binky and Agu!

My Teapot Design!

Remember my teapot drawing in my previous post?

Well I made the same teapot but with my own design!

Lui said I should design my own ceramics.

And here is the scene from my session with Lui:

And a selfie with Lui but Lui was hardly seen!

A Teapot!

Lui saw this cute pot in the house.

She said I should try to draw it.

And I did!

Eating Utensils!

. . . i am doing stylized designs on utensils 

and then i color the shapes . . .

. . . and to correct some stray lines

and finalize my drawing

and I'm done:

More Stylized Drawings

This is part of my drawing session from previous post.

But this time I am doing it using neutral colors!

First, Lui made me draw several lines representing soil

and circles for rocks, and wavy lines for water . . .

. . . and now I am drawing a flower:

And a sun!

And the fun part is putting designs on them

using neutral colors like brown, gray, black . . .

And the finished drawing

even in neutral colors

look just as bright and beautiful!

My Stylized Objects!

Random shapes . . .
