Water Colour Painting

Started with Water Colour painting for about 2 months, this is part of the NAFA part-time Western Art Certification curriculum...but somehow, I'm still unable to pick-up the basic water-colour techniques even though our teacher Mr Chng Chin Kang has been very patient to impart the water-colour skills to the class.

He is encouraging and assuring ...He will tell us to focus on colours mixing and not to worry too much on the composition or sketch at this point. And to improve our skills, there's no fast track but to keep trying and practising.

Below are my baby steps trying to achieve water colour painting ^_^

Miniatures (5) - Sandwiches

Went for a short getaway to Malacca over the weekend with colleagues.We shop, laugh, walk alot ... and most importantly, tried the local good food ... ^_^



May attempt to make some of these items into food miniatures in the future.. but for now, I've created some mini sandwich magnet... hope you will like them ! ^_^

Miniatures (4) - Cupcakes

Instead of giving the mooncakes some "colour", I was inspired by a bakery shop near my working place and created some cupcakes...



And more cupcake's base ...

Library Workshop in Jul/Aug 2011

I was overjoyed when I learnt from Cindy's blog that the miniature workshop conducted by BearFruit Workshop was featured in Oct Issue of GoLibrary...

Cindy was our mentor for the 4 part creative workshops on food miniatures. She is a wonderful mentor who is not only patience, cheerful, willing to share her experiences and skills, but also encourges all of us to use our creativity to come up with our own style...I'm really inspired by her !

You could look at her wonderful creation of food miniatures from her blog : http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.com/
