Old sketches...

I found old sketches that I did 2 Summers ago in Italy. Some are not bad, some are... I often talk with classmates in the school about staying in Italy for a couple of months for sketching and painting. I don't know when it come true, but I think I have a lot of time to polish my drawing skills...

Nuit Blanche

Saturday night was Ottawa's first Nuit Blanche. Nuit Blanche Ottawa I dropped by some gallery in By Ward Market area. I couldn't find any visual art works I really like... I forced my hub to make a clay elephant at the planet coffee to make him feel that he's a part of this art festival. It worked and he liked it and we placed his elephant among others not to be lonely... :-)

I joined the group called the Sketch NBO and did some street sketching. http://sketchnbo.tumblr.com/

 Music performance by Duo d'Hull

Street dancing fighters, Capoeira group


I couldn't see all of them, but over all it was fun night. This festival is a new born baby, so look forward to see how it develop next year.

Monochrome painting

I finished the1st painting project at school. Unfortunately, the photo turned out too shiny and difficult to see the details... maybe next time take close up shots and upload...???

And this one is a step by step shot... From the left,
1) sketching
2) transfer to the canvas, and dead colour paint
3) rendering from big form
4) more rendering
5) do further rendering for details
6) Finish of 1st painting
7) finish of 2nd painting
8) touch up and finished...
