Sketch Oct 24 Fri - Repair

Finally completed the sketch today...in between what little break times I have during work...and time at home were spent trying to complete my first proper outdoor painting...

Late but I will set to complete it before the next topic came out...

For our wedding 1st anniversary...

I wanted to surprise my husband. I want to draw and paint this and frame it up. I have this image of 2 cute little characters...that's as cute as our representative DDungs...

I even dragged my colleague to Ikea to chose a frame with me...but as it turns out...its very amateurish...I am so very tempted to forgo the entire project and just stick to my forte...vectorising....

At least the colors will be so much more brilliant than what I could conjure with watercolor...haizz...but the biggest boo-boo was...Kelvin arrived home before the paint dry and before I can hide it!!!

Don't care ar...I spent the whole afternoon doing this so he's gotta like it regardless...although I think the faces are a tad orangy...I think I will do another one...and hide it carefully from him this time! But hor on 2nd thought...I think I will just print out the DDungs shot that we took on our own and frame them up and present to him instead...hehehe...

2nd Watercolour Lesson

Outdoor sketching at Amoy Street...

I am too shy...and I don't know that Singapore has such a lot of Indian Tourists nowadays. Even the Tian Hock Temple's swarmed with tourists. Caucasians and Indians. And you know Indians...being shy really isn't their virtue...so many of them tried to catch my attention and half the time I was horrified and I so wanted to hide my 'ugly' drawing but I have to carry on sketching...

*I only fill in the colors after I got home...

I've paid for this lesson and I am so damn well gonna draw! But I think its my own fault for choosing a spot away from the group. Nice try, Ranna! Stupid is as stupid does...next time I am gonna hurdle together with my classmates and let the better ones be harassed indeed~

I am just complaining for fun...this is really a wonderful training process for me. Impatient...wanna fly before even learning how to walk...haiz...

This is a shot of what Mr Ong did on the spot.

It is damn nice lor! Even though it's half done...The passerbys are added on by him and he even altered the tree...

Must jia you! I am studying under a great master...so much to learn from him...

I didn't start painting on the spot so that really totally took away the drive to complete the painting. I must get new watercolor papers, probably a bit more colors to play with and also...an easel. I noticed that Mr Ong and my classmates got some of those serving trays to use as a desktop...I wonder if which artshop did they get it from?

Watercolour Lesson 1

I don't know what stirred me but I went to email to the super famous Mr Ong and he found a vacancy for me in his class!

So I went to the class...absolutely clueless about what to expect. I was early, I was the first student to arrive.

Mr Ong asked me where I worked and I told him honestly...he goes..."Oh...Do you know Mr Ho? He's also from your company!"

"Ohh..." I smiled and took a while to digest that fact...then it finally dawned on me..."You mean my colleague is my classmate here???"

"Noo nooo...your colleague's FATHER is your classmate here..."

Small world man...turns out my GM's father is my watercolor classmate. So you can imagine how very young I am in my class. hehehe...this got me to suspect that I managed to get a seat in Mr Ong's class because his student (who had a eye problem) probably needed cataract surgery...
