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.

Quick portrait paintings done for fun.

CCIS 2010

It's been really fun to work with other artists and people for this year's CCIS (Celebrate Christmas in Singapore). So here are some of the photos taken of the booths down at Orchard Road, outside Wisma Atria. It's been quite an experience for me, drawing for the first time with Chalk Marker.
