I will probably feel better once I forced myself to finish up the boy and do the remaining touches in Photoshop...

Current mood: I suck...

3rd & 4th Watercolour Lesson

For our 4th lessons, we went out to Alkaff Mansion. I was really excited as I've heard of the place even though I've never been there...

I was disappointed by the current status the mansion was in. It had lost all of its former glory and glow...I wish the organisation that bought it will save it...

But Alkaff Mansion remained to be one of Mr Ong's favourite painting haunt...I think...
And I was complacent...thinking that the place is still well-maintained...I never bring my insect repellent! Luckily Mr Ong got bring...he offered a Japanese brand and China brand one...without hesitation, everyone goes straight for the Japanese brand...

Basic painting equipments...

I already have the chair but I need the serving tray...I haven't invest in an easel yet as I am not confident that I will use it...after all, I didn't produce anything during the Amoy Street outing...

While I was still sketching, Mr Ong had already started to paint...he 'cheated' in fact, he sketched with watercolour...hehe...
Not completely done yet already looking so promising...haiz...master is master...

This is my chosen shot...

I finally disciplined myself to at least complete the painting for class correction today. Got paint, got show, got correction, got learn!
I love what Mr Ong had fixed for me! And I learnt! Cannot gabera already...will put in more effort in mastering the water and the color mixing...

Felt more inspired now that I finally painted something on my own. My classmates were super encouraging as well...and they are all really fantastic painters...still learning under Mr Ong!

Works of classmates...

Those really good ones have minimal correction. Those really really really good one...Mr Ong will say..."Can sign already!" or..."This one can sell!"

Classes with my classmates and Mr Ong are really fun and lighthearted...the way painting should be...
