Medelling Paste - Floral

A first attempt using modelling paste and housewife has fallen for this new technique. :) Although the colour wasn't as ideal as housewife thought, it's a good try though.

花非花

喷张的花瓣，正面地向四面八方伸展。

像极了对生命的展望，敞开双手去拥抱。

然而，还是会有不安。

因为超出的，是无法预知的地方。

用光包围着，给它力量。

希望呵护着的内心种子，能迎在背影的前头，精彩灿烂。

（可见宗教和信念的重要性）

Painting & Sketching of the Week

After few lessons, housewife decided to pick up sketching skill too.

Here you go for painting and sketching of the week.....

Pumpkin

 Mangosteen & Vase

2nd Painting - Banana

Housewife has gone for second lesson.
The teacher said he wanted to give housewife the more refined yet complicated object for second lesson. Well, initially houswife thought the vase would be the challenge with its rich texture. It ended up with the banana that almost screwed up the painting. Luckily, the beauty of acryllic painting is the 'error' can be convered by painting the second layer on top of it and it dries easily, so housewife 'rescued' the banana.. haha...


Housewife is not very happy with this 2nd painting as it can be done better, supposingly.  Perhaps housewife get used to water colour skill and still adapting new painting skill....

Nevermind, will try again... :)

First Acryllic Painting Lesson

Housewife was an art stream student.

However, housewife said farewell to painting and drawing after leaving school and pursued new academic path.

 It’s been more than 10 years housewife didn’t really draw/paint although it was once housewife’s hobby.  Thanks God that housewife has chance to pick up this hobby again after so many years. The inspiration came to housewife when housewife scratched head for hubby’s birthday gift this year. Well, since then, housewife started this passion again and has drafted few drawings.

With the encouragement of hubby, housewife signed up acrylic painting class and started first lesson last week. It was really fun!! Meanwhile, housewife has a little motivation when the first piece was chosen to be posted on art teacher’s art gallery on his website although it looks a bit ‘cacat’.

Avocado - Does it look like avocado? :)

A set of art materials used.

Immediately after class, housewife excitedly shared this first piece with her baby sister. Luckily she able to distinguish the drawing and shared the excitement with housewife.

Of course, this piece is dedicated to the supportive hubby who has been collecting paintings for years.  :D Hubby has a painting that he bought @ USD$1500 years ago and now it appreciates to USD$6000 due to the retirement of artist. Therefore, housewife jokingly claimed that housewife’s ‘painting’ will also be appreciated after retirement. Hahah…. On top of that, hubby can save money from buying expensive painting anymore which housewife always nag him for this.

Hubby’s response:” Huh? Serious? Oh My!  Hmmm…” Housewife reckoned that he must be regretted to send housewife to art class.  :P LOL

A begin of new passion in a new journey…. J
