So I went a diving in to my old store of holiday pics from the bygone days when I went anywhere at all, and found some snapshots taken on a trip to Tioman Island.. Their beaches are the stuff of paradise, as are many of our beautiful seaside destinations here. The sand as fine as caster sugar and water so crystal clear, one could almost forget the degradation and pollution that would probably have shown up if not for the resorts careful maintenance. Painted alla prima....  Tioman' / Oil on Gesso Primed Canvasboard / Size: 7.7 x 10.2 Inches  .... and another gesture drawing... :)  Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint Paper mounted onto Japanese rice paper / Size: 14 x 11 Inches

Hidy ho guys! So I got out and got some sun for once, which took all of 15 paces from my door.. haha!! Now I kid, I'm not that bad with the sun thing (not that hard in sunny Malaysia!), this was however a first in a long time at doing an en plein air painting, and the weather sure was ideal!..  Lil Toby kept me company (as well as Sherlock and Watson just out of shot!) as I painted this glorious sunlit scene.. :)  Le Jardin' / Oil on Shellac Primed 150gsm acid free Paper / 5 x 5 Inches  Loved how this gesture drawing turned out!  Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint / 14.9 x 6.2 Inches  Thanks for dropping by guys!.. :)
p.s Pardon the French! Been trying to incorporate it more in to my everyday speech/writing to strengthen my grasp of the language.. :D A study done for Our Painted Lives challenge of 'Where we store things', this drill has been my trusty helper for more than 20 years now!..  Oil on 150gm Cartridge Paper / Size: 10 x 8 Inches Though I had planned on following along with all the weekly challenges, I decided after my lackluster interest in this one that I would focus only on the challenges that aligned with my main objective when I started, and that was improving my skills with colour and light, I jumped ahead a bit with some of my painting buddies a month or so back, to do Week 33 where Nicolas asked us to search for old paint tubes we've bought in the past but have hardly ever used.. Begging the question Why did I buy this?..
Each piece just used two of these abandoned tubes and white, the two chosen completely by chance.
My throw of the dice landed me with palettes that were quite monotone, but it was still fun to find ways to create receding cools and advancing warms with the limited palettes.. Thanks for dropping by guys!.. :D Thought I'd add a few of my latest gestures to my shop!.. These were all drawn with Derwent Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint during various practice sessions. :)
Hi guys, This is the first little painting I've done of Watson, Surprising since her cuteness seems quite unreal at times.. haha!  Watson / Oil on Primed Hardboard / Size : 4.4 x 4.4 Inches Thanks for dropping by! :)
p.s. Read more about how this piece was created at 'Watson' the Cat Wet on Wet Oil Painting' Hiya guys!.. I'd say this one is one of my favs of the 1st weeks challenge that I did.. Using hog bristle brushes, rather than the synthetics used for the others, every brushstroke was deeply pronounced and I tried to take advantage of this by ensuring every stoke would speak to the underlying forms and be texturally appealing with sure gesture.  Impasto (somewhat) brushstroke detail The bleaching white light of the ref image, flattened the models face somewhat. Thus the challenge was to portray this washed out lighting while still bringing dimensionality to the portrait..

 On the easel.. Week 1 Day 3 / Oil on Primed Paper / 8 x 5 Inches Ref Photo Credit : Duncan Shaffer on Unsplash Ahh.. I forgot to varnish the portrait I did on day 3 so I decided to post this one first!.. This piece is about twice the size of the previous works and was painted using a zorn palette.. If you are not familiar with this uber limited palette, it's one that consists of just 4 'hues' - Titanium White, Ivory Black, Yellow Ocher and a red. I used Cadmium Red.  Week 1 Day 4 / Oil on Primed Paper / Size: 10 x 8 Inches Ref Photo Credit : Alev Takil on Unsplash This was just the perfect image for the muted tones of a zorn palette, and the subjects smoldering 'f*' all stare to the viewer.
