Watercolor Lesson 7?

Today is our 1st watercolor lesson in 2009! (Lesson 7 already meh? Can't remember...lost tracks...but I know for sure before we close for holiday, Mr Ong gave a demonstration)

I promised myself that I will do 2 paintings...one for submission today and the other for standby in cases where I cannot produce...

My plan was disrupted by a Nintendo Wii and as a consequence...I have to spend time from 9pm to 2am for 3 consecutive days to finish up one painting...

This is my painting on Mr Ong's easel...

I forgotten totally that I have to take a 'BEFORE' photo!!! ARRGGHHH!!! Mr Ong corrected a lot of mistakes lor...and blended away the 'cauliflowers' (referring to huge blot of unjustifiable blotches)...HAPPY! But he chided me saying this painting is "40% Ong KimSeng liao..."

Well...I am still new mah...and at least I learnt mah...

This is the final result...Gorgeous~

Thank you Mr Ong~ I will work on my shadows and I promise not to repeat colors for areas supposed to have different perspective....

I finally got my easel today!!! The salesgirl immediately inform me the tripod is here when I stepped into their store~ So happy! I got it immediately without further ado...

The quality is simply gorgeous...color is great and I think the quality is equivalent to Manfrotto of tripods...

All good things comes to those who wait...ahahaha...I've been waiting for 4yrs and 3months now, for the right easel to come along...and finally it is here today...

I am so delirious that I will name my easel 'Donnie'...
