First Time doing Oil painting/painting non digitally



A week ago, I bought some plywood and oil paints, feeling all inspired to paint. However, not knowing exactly what to paint, I procrastinated. Finally, after much doodling to finalize an idea, I grabbed my paintbrush and painted with oil paints for the very first time. Glad it turns out looking quite decent although much to my regret that I did not have enough patience to paint the words out properly. I shall do a better one next time.

More Portraits

What I've been up to during my holidays? I've been painting portraits of my friends until I got bored of painting the same old style and tried to do something different. See the difference:

Usual style:

Fusing Audrey Kawasaki's style into my friend's portrait.


Trying out Audrey Kawasaki's style before painting the above portrait.


Conclusion: I love Audrey Kawasaki's work! I wanted to know how my friend would look like if I fuse this style into this portrait painting. I really had fun doing this. Audrey's style is so minimalistic that I feel like I'm applying makeup on my friend instead of painting it, which is very very interesting and fun. Audrey's a genius.
