Friday's florals- another week of paintings


 


I was travelling last week so I didn't paint for a few days and it really showed in this piece. *LOL*


And this one too. 


Got better control of the water in this one...


And this one was just pure fun!


This one too! :)


Been really having fun with watercolour florals. :)

Happy weekend friends!

Some eye drawings from the sketchbook


 



Really having fun with my daily eye drawings. It's super therapeutic for me when I get in the zone and just complete an eye drawing. :)

Life has been busy. And I'm in the midst of decluttering and organising my art/craft supplies so the room is just super messy*insert dramatic music* but I've been keeping up with the watercolour florals and eye drawings...*yay...go me!*.

P/s: It feels really nice to clear out dried up paints and pens and things that no longer serve me.

Workspace Wednesday - when you can actually see the desk


 


So I've been hard at work decluttering my craft supplies - throwing out dried out art supplies like paints and pens, discarding items that I've hoarded for way too long and rearranging existing supplies for easy access.

Still a work-in-progress but at least you can actually see the desk!

And yes, if you are observant, you will notice that I got some new lampshades! The original colour has been discontinued so I went with silver. :)

Another week, another page from the gratitude journal


 


I've really been enjoying putting together these simple gratitude pages. It really is the simple things in life that bring us joy. Can't wait to fill up all the pages for the year.

This page is all about the cute stuff my sister bought me in Korea. Perfect page for me to use my My Melody washi tape!:)

Dad's birthday 2023


 


This year Dad's birthday coincided with his first visit to the orthopaedic doctor. He has been complaining that his chest hurts when he swings his arm after he got his stents put in back in March. An x-ray was taken and the doctor said there is no physical manifestation of his pain. And that he should be able to do resistance training...(getting him to actually do it is difficult because he's so lazy and sits in front of the computer all day).


Anyway, I made an outing of the whole day. Apparently, old folks become young kids again. They were pretty happy taking joy rides around the university campus as I took a walk down memory lane at my alma mater (National University of Singapore Business School).


We went out all day (no cooking for me..hooray!) and went home to cut his birthday cake.


He looked pretty happy with his mango cake right? 


Here are the folks with my signages! :)


Lots of fussy-cut packaging on this one...from skincare packaging to cakebox packaging. 



Playing along with Stick It Down.

Friday's quick decorated box


 


Happy Friday friends! Just adding to my decorated box stash with this quick one.:)


Keeping everything flat for easy storage and transport....


I do more elaborate and decorative boxes for creative recipients but keep it simple for the normal folks because they are more interested in what's inside the box. *LOL*

Enjoy your weekend!

Thursday

The week in eye drawings



This week has been all about rediscovering the Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils as I get into my new sketchbook which has super smooth and ultra-thin pages.


I'm also playing with a limited colour palette...from a friend's stash of Prisma Premier Colored Pencils that I was recently tasked to "save" from the jaws of death (aka the trash bin).


These pencils are way softer and more waxy than the Holbeins so you get a lot of blending but lose out on the details.


I'm also reminded of the "mess" that it creates as you colour...and the constant need to sharpen the pencils.


But it's been fun! :)

Workspace Wednesday - a page from the gratitude journal


 


Just sharing a page from the gratitude journal...about the lovely chocolate mousse cake the hotel gave me for my birthday. Pre-Covid, the hotel birthday cake was a local Vietnamese rice cake ..which wasn't fantastic. Yep, I ate it all, decor and all. *LOL*

Tuesday's desk view: wet-in-wet bloom in a jar watercolour practice


 


I have really been having fun using the wet-in-wet technique for my daily watercolour practice. It's super quick and it's all always a surprise when you see the finished product.

This one took like 5 minutes to paint and it was fun watching the colours bleed into each other and create unique marks. I love how unfussy and loose this style of painting is...*winks*

What do you think?
