    Watercolour Explorations #76 to #100

    August 2, 2017 / 2 Comments

    Here’s the fourth, and final, installment of my #the100dayproject. Was a bit late in finishing especially with the unplanned and planned trips during the 100 days. But it feels great that I finished though I am planning on continuing these watercolor exercises. It’s been part of my outlet and have truly enjoyed exploring the different styles and techniques. Thank you for looking.

    500 Colored Pencils: Fun

    June 26, 2017 / No Comments

    Last week, I received a surprise present in the mail. It was a set of the Felissimo coloured pencils, more specifically the FUN set. Oh boy! I was giddy and excited to try these out. I actually knew of these Felissimo coloured pencils years and years ago when I walked into the shop in Beijing. Back then, I couldn’t get myself to buy any because there is about 500 colours to choose from and being a designer, it is never easy to decide on which colours to get! I’ve used these together with my watercolour art. And I love the way it turned out! Eeeks! And can I tell you…

    April 25, 2016 / No Comments

I was also quite ecstatic to hear the positive ‘yes!’ I got from my colleagues when I brought up the subject with them joining this challenge. All hands on deck! Just amazing and I am very inspired. I decided on making an MTN insert format out of some watercolour paper so I can carry this around with me. We are halfway into the challenge, and I wanted to share what I’ve done so far… We went out to the nearby park on Day 11 to do some painting outdoors. It was an impromptu…
