Watercolor Painting @ Danish Seaman Church

Our location last week was Danish Seaman Church on Mt Faber.

As my camera was down, and I rebuked my husband's suggestion to carry his D200...I have to paint the remaining based on my memory and imagination.

This isn't so bad because it actually allow me to spend more time to think about the shadow, shades and color mixing...instead of bothering about the accuracy of the landscape.

Before
After

I suppose I am getting better indeed...although I honestly don't felt so. Each painting is as much gabara-ing as before...I really need to spend time to understand my colors. Mr Ong added the coconut tree in front to break the monotonous layout. Nice touch...then other than enhancing the shadows...and darkening some of the windows...that's about it. The only thing that puzzled me was that...where I thought I've screwed up, Mr Ong thought its nice. Maybe its because the highlight, shadows and midtones are in place...I supposed.

I still think my painting looked kiddish...oh well...

Will make it a point to understand my colors and reorganise my palette this week!

My husband replaced my old G4 with a G5 iMac...its pretty cool. See how nice it goes with my iPod nano...tehehehe...he's in the spare room right now, clearing up the place so I can work with more proficiency.

After class today, we went into Art Friend...

To reward myself for completing 5 paintings, I bought a short-haired kolinsky brush from Straits (for better detailed shadow control), cartridge papers for watercolors(for illustration) and Windsor & Newton Indian Ink and Cobalt Ink(for illustration as well. Outline and color)

The actual reason why I am getting the ink is because of the bottle. I had one years back when I was a art student...it was really hard to search for and I really treasured this little bottle of Indian Ink. It was used up and dried out...RIP...

*My husband paid for the above items...to show his support...woohoo...
