It's so true when people said that painting is therapeutic. It's my first time painting on canvas and it feels so good. I've never felt so professional before. Haha now I conclude that I love traditional painting more then digital. Oh boy I realize that I'm going back to the past from my passion for vintage to doing things, animation, painting etc. traditionally. How am I suppose to catch up with the current world? Oh boy I guess Yik Hoe and Robbert was right to say that I shouldn't be born in this generation. The passion is becoming stronger every since I came over to Australia after exposing to more of them here. Oldies, 40s American ad, antiques, 2d traditional animation, vintage cars etc.. As people are catching up with the trend, I'm becoming more outdated. It might not be a bad thing after all. I'm glad that the scope for my painting class is quite general which allows me to do whatever I am interested in. For people who really know me, it's not hard to spot the things I like in every painting. Final assessment is coming is 2 weeks time. A lot of touch up needs to be done. Busy busy.. These are some of the painting that I've done in class using acrylic on canvas. Nice experience except that acrylic paints dry to a darker tone. Argh.. quite annoying
Still life drawing of an old school bag and not forgetting my favorite Checkered!
A close up of the strip of bag.
Hm.. I wasn't happy with this painting. The colour didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be and the BG spoilts the whole painting. It's suppose to be a picture of my parents' wedding photo in a reflex camera. Makeover coming up.
Alright, this is a landscape painting. I chose the street outside my house as we were suppose to do a landscape painting of our familiar place. I was trying to achieve the 40s American ad look(shown below) incorporating with my favourite vintage cars. I was trying to visualize how this street in the 1950s looks like. Work in progress got to continue painting today. Still not very sure if I can get this look.
Really love this style. There's this beautiful book called the 40s All-american art from Robbert with all the breathtaking ad in every page. Strongly recommended for those who likes this style of art. Got to get myself one too!! Love it.
