Just Completed..To Be Varnish...




Tonite..inbetween waiting for the inaugaration of Pres Obama..I managed the fial touches to these two pieces. I am still with the small stuffs..he..he..not sure when I will manage a bigger more challenging items...Well..for now..I am still getting the hang of the strokes on actual surfaces and still getting stuck on which part to do first and this will lead to getting squeezed in putting the different parts together...

I am still :
  • Figuring out how to get the edges of my strokes smooth..sometimes it jagged due to dryness..with a little water it gets too wet..so..I am in getting this part to be more consistent..

  • My leaves are everywhere...sometimes ok sometimes urghh....but better...I still need to decide which kind I like best so that I can focus on it and get it right...

  • My roses seems more consistent whenever I remember the steps and number of strokes... I will get stuck if I need to highlights with white the edges..I will definitely smear the whites everywhere...I try changing brushes to do this...but it till do not become what I would like it to be...

Anyway....enjoy these 2 stuffs..I will need to varnish them next...it looks better after varnishing couple of layers....

Anyone would like to have it??

Hi kak zie,
wow, your painting is gorgeous!!! :*
anyways, don't worry about the jagged strokes on the roses. sometimes that's what make them look natural and loose.
trust me, i was in that stage too but now i made piece with it.
and finally found the leaves i want for my roses... thanks to sifu nora...i'm still in the learning process anyway...
