2009!

It's almost new year again. Time does fly faster, quicker, swiftly... oh well, there's nothing you can do anyway. so, i've been up with the usual. i've done all of these during my sem break for this year. let's just say, my time is well spent. and a few back then, when i was in my 2nd sem, i had to do painting and that frog for my english lecturer. this one has the funny story and i gave them names. hah. then there's sculpture for 3rd sem.

for all of those colourful painting, let's just say i was experimenting with colours, subjects, positions, etc, etc, etc. i figured out how to use art masking fluid and love it! it did good and bad, but i managed to fix it. i'll show later with pictures.

i like all of it, to be honest. not to be vain, but self-motivate. i enjoyed doing it, as it takes my mind away from things that i don't want to know. and its very simple, even you can do it. all you need is time, brushes, colours, paper or canvas and an imagination. each of it doesn't take much time, probably because im using small canvas, which is very convinient. most of it i finished it within a day, if i just stay put and finish it until i gain headache. lol. but it was fun and it satisfied me to see the result. well, it might not be van gogh or da vinci or picasso, but it's a starter. i do like art and painting is one of it. i would like to try new things, new method, new media like oil colour or pastel. or bigger canvas or paint on various surface.

it seems that, these days, people paint or do artwork because it means something, anything, deep meaning or just surface. trying to express their opinion or thoughts through art and that's cool. but mine, all of these are just random, things? that i tried to paint. like i said, experimenting. maybe some of it has their own meaning, or maybe some of it just plain paintings. eek, i don't know, you'll be the judge. so, tell me that i wasted my money and time doing this, but for me, it's called self-learning and i'm learning something from it and i wish to produce more. so for 2010, expect to see more of these, maybe even better, as you learnt to be better and grew more experienced with time. maybe i develop my own style and flair in my artworks, or finally found a way to express myself through this medium and that would be awesome. haha.

yeah, i figure out that if you just sit around and do nothing, you'll have nothing in the end. so here i am, doing things that i could do, my strongest point, mum was right. even though i like science and stuff, i just couldn't pull it through. while i can't mixed the chemicals, calculate the workdone, i sure can mixed the colours and get it bright and right and paint it done. umm, yeah. lol.

a few that is shown here has already given as gifts to my love ones. that's the cool thing when you can be creative with things, you never died of ideas. i always love giving suprises to them but hate when it falls on mine. and another few of these will also become presents for them for next year birthdays. guess which one that you'll get. ok, so here's the pictures and enjoy.

oh, note the sketches, it's still rough, i'm just not good at it, yet. i tried, the potrait of my mum, it's slightly different. how's the saying goes, practice make perfect, yeah, i'm working on it.

like my lecturer, pn. shuhadah once said, there are people are born to an artist, some of them are train to be one. i wonder which one i am?

'Terry'

this is BEFORE, you see the messiness of the colours, that's the masking fluid. its prevent the colour from touching the canvas. well, sort of.
'The 4th Season'

this is AFTER, see no more smudges. with a little editing here and there, it becomes more refined. haha.
trying to finish this up. gonna take quite some times.

happened accidently. i was like trying to draw figures, but only could have them from the back. oh, it's a dream.

'Mine'

'Colours'

playing with colours. end up looking like this, so i thought, hey,this is fun.

'Tulips'

another masking fluid work. its sort of messy at first, then i managed to fixed it.

'Grow'

this is actually the first one im using that fluid and this one for mum for her new office and her 44th birthday.

'Either Way'
yeah, this is for you.

yup, the frogs with names. done for my lecturer. i got to keep frankie.

'Roses for Van Gogh'

don't mind the tittle. i was exaggerating. i made this one for someone special before she left.

isn't it so obvious?

ok, the 1st picture was the one that's actually finished. the 2nd, after it was framed. the 3rd, the one that i have right now which i am pretty lazy to finish it. sigh. :]
