Leaning Female Figure Front, Charcoal Drawing

This is a gesture drawing of a female figure from the front leaning on a stool. I drew it 2019 from life model. It was probably a 20-minute pose as back then I didn't have the habit of signing every drawing, and can't be 100% sure. Looking at this drawing now, I see a lot … Continue reading Leaning Female Figure Front, Charcoal Drawing

Portrait Drawing Workshop 2018

I've been an artist my entire life, but I have never seriously considered drawing or painting people. I did try several times when I was in school, but I would not call those artworks a serious portrait. Ever since I learned about the Society of Figurative Arts, I have been challenging myself with more serious … Continue reading Portrait Drawing Workshop 2018

Plumeria – Botanical Copic Drawing

When I visited Sydney, Australia for the first time, I was mesmerized with plumeria flowers and decided to make a drawing of them. I never saw this tree bloom before, and its leaves looked familiar. Apparently, it's just a look-a-like, but a completely different tree. It's interesting how completely different things might look similar in … Continue reading Plumeria – Botanical Copic Drawing

Glass with a Sea Conch Still Life Painting

Here's one of the first oil painting I attempted. It's a simple still life of some glass objects and sea conch. I'm surprised it turned out alright as I had no idea what I am doing. However, the mystery of translucent objects has evaded my hand in this painting. I hope to attempt this some … Continue reading Glass with a Sea Conch Still Life Painting

Stone Wall in the Garden, Digital Painting

I did this digital painting of a stone wall in the garden a while back as an assignment for landscape course. It was an interesting experience as I never tried to paint a "cutout" of the world before. It almost feels like this scene should be a part of a game, and I love it. … Continue reading Stone Wall in the Garden, Digital Painting

Wave of Calm over Chaos, abstract painting

This abstract painting hides the idea of calmness taking over chaos. The perfect blue consumes the chaos of life, turning it into peaceful emptiness. From the other point of view, the blue wave could be creating chaos. In any case, this is the relationship of calmness and chaos. There is no one without the other; … Continue reading Wave of Calm over Chaos, abstract painting

Mountain Flats – Landscape Oil Study

Last year, I took an online gouache painting course with Justin Donaldson. Most of the assignments in this course I did in gouache. However, some of them could have been done in any medium. I heard that gouache behaves very much like oil except that it dries much quicker. Therefore, I decided to give oil … Continue reading Mountain Flats – Landscape Oil Study
