8. Eye of the Storm (3) ...

Well we have a double set of photos to share with you.

Basically it shows from the last posting, what I did to finish it and then, relooking at it, I didn't quite like how it turned out. So it's repainting all over again.

And you can see from below to revert back to pencils to re outline before repainting ... this is work done on 29th March 2015 ...

And of course from here the eye is still very sharp and obvious ...

7. C is for Chaos

I was of 2 minds wondering if I should post more from this series or interspersed with something more "dramatic" so that those of you looking for art work is not "bored to tears" and ripping your hair out ... but figured to post this one ... just this ... and maybe next week we will post something else, eh?

This is done from QZ7531 flight from Bali to Jakarta on 16th March 2015

Cheers!

BTW I have finished the entire small artbook with alphabets. Some are kinda sad but overall I am pleased because I have DISCIPLINE to actually finish something. Now for my sketches I have just started something else ... using roughs from sea life and transferring them to my artbook ... hope that works out well ... and I hope you are also enjoying my continuous updates on my attempt to be a painter as well!

6. Eye of the Storm (2)

This piece is where I start laying down some colour schemes that I think will look nice. At this stage, I also mess around with the type of paint like do I use water colours, acrylics, oils, etc ... and since I am an amateur painter (can I call myself that?), I also test the various tools including type of brushes and "knife" ... and also (yes one more also) the type of strokes ...

And after all that boring explanation, the result is below ... at this stage the painted area/ section is not finalized yet ... I will do more re-work ... sometimes I think I am terrible at finishing as the more I work on something, the worse ... it gets ... ARGH!

5. B is for Boom

Guess what? This is also done on the same flight as the previous postings. See? I wasn't lying to you when I said I was going to do some really fast sketches, eh?

So the date is 14th March 2015 onboard AK378 to Bali from KL

Enjoy!

4. Eye of the Storm (0)

Hi all - in case you are wondering why zero/ nil, it's because I just realized that I had a snapshot of when I first used pencils to sketch out what I had in mind before I put paint. And hence, this piece actually precedes part (1). Hope you like it as the intention of this blog is to show you (and to help me remember) how I create each piece of my own art

3. A is for Alert

Following from the first posting, I was wondering how often I should post ... and decided to make this an irregular serial first. So this particular piece is titled A is for Alert. I decided if my discipline holds to force myself to do a series of quick sketches using the alphabets

So the above is also completed on 14th March 2015 onboard AK 378 enroute to Bali from KL

Cheers

2 ... Eye of the Storm (1)

After that first post, I actually have created a series based on the sketches I have done and finished in one week ... but decided ... that rather than stagger the postings on weekly basis ... to make it as "live" as possible ... by "live" I mean not just to post something waaaaay further down the timeline but to keep it near when I am painting

So what else am I painting? This ... done in Jakarta ... below is a showing of an initial stage ... I used pencil to outline and then clay to "plot" out the eye ... and the "debris" of the storm ... this is for me how I normally paint ... I work it out in my mind's "eye" ... then I do some rough outlines ... then leave it ... before I add in colours ... this piece is done between Mar 28th to Apr 3rd 2015 ... I was almost finished ... when I am back in JKT next week ... will try to complete it
