The next stage...Penang Scenery

 Almost completed...just the buildings on the opposite shoreline, and rocks in the foreground...

got to view this with head tilted to the right...the reflections of the pillars of the Penang Brige on the calm sea were too captivating and irresistable to try painting them...

Malaysian Scenery...Penang

 A work in progress...

Another work in progress ....or is it work in 'distress' ...hahaha....need to make some corrections...on the street lights......not bright enough....and I haven't done the reflections yet...just too difficult at the moment when my mind cannot focus.




All these pictures were painted from snapshots of Christopher Harriot, a local , and boy , his photos are too awesome! I think I am not doing credit to his photos...hahaha...You can get to see them  FAA(Fine Arts America)

Work in Progress- 2

The next stage of this painting. A watercolour on acid free sketch book paper, although I had not sketched the scenery first.  I went straight on painting with a brush starting with light colours first, just as I will do when working with soft pastels. It is a picture I had used from the blog 'Tired of London, Tired of Life'. I am painting an impression of the scenery, especially the reflections on the water that challenges me to paint them and the different tones on the water too; how the part that has sunlight looks almost whitish and how the part that was cast by the shadows looks almost black, and how parts of the tunnels look lighter due to light coming from the other end.  It had me thinking a lot on the aspects of lighting and its effects on the picture as a whole.
  I think the writer of the blog has very interesting pictures and it will be wonderful to try to paint some of them. Thanks to Tom, I must say!
