Punggol Park

My client who purchased the " Unconventional upcycled garden" sketch, also commissioned me to do a larger oil painting of her favorite view at Punggol Park. We had a couple of visits to the park and did a pencil study and a Gouache sketch. Later made some modifications to match the light and my client's preferences. Waiting to start with the oil study :)

Schoolism - Week 4

Week 4- Assignment from Schoolism's "Landscape Sketching in Watercolor and Gouache"

Assignments using the Composition principles together with the addition of two more pigments to the limited palette - Lemon yellow and Cadmium Red. Studies are from photos done under an hour. The darker tones in these pics are not convincing compared to the originals.

Schoolism

Week 3- Assignment from Schoolism's "Landscape Sketching in Watercolor and Gouache"

For 3rd week, Nathan allowed us to use pigments but limited to yellow ochre, venetian red, ultramarine blue, permanent sap green, and van dyke brown. I couldn't find them here in Sg nor wanted to wait for them if I order online, so substituted with Yellow Ochre, Mars red, ultramarine Blue, Olive green and Raw Umber. These are the ones I could get here close to the suggested pigments. Definitely the end results vary, but a little try than nothing at all.

Art Science Workshop

Recently have been working on a project for an upcoming Art Science Workshop for kids. This mini Smart city has safe and energy efficient lighting system powered by an interactive circuitry. It was fun to do this stop-motion video with little help from my son.
