Shoe shine

Something I found sitting around at one corner of our campus.

Sascha

This is the granddaughter of my artist friend, named Sascha, from Weekend Drawing Event. This is 3x5 inch color pencils on Thai local notepad.

Tone's portrait

What is better than having a life-drawing subject at home? Today I did a 5x7 inch color pencil life-drawing of Tone while he was concentrating on the computer screen. I should do similar thing with baby Iris more often.

The Egg Project

Well Iris's kindergarten school sent us her project worksheet. Yes !!!, a project for a 3 year old to do research (with her parents) about 3 kinds of eggs and their origins. In Thailand, we normally consume eggs from 3 sources: chicken, duck, and quail. I don't know how much Iris can do her project sheet. So I have to do the research for her and end up drawing the picture of the chicken, the duck, and the quail eggs using color pencils. Tone teases me that Iris (or me) should get an A+ for this project. I try to let her involve as much as possible. But she is only 3 yrs old. So I end up holding her hand and we color the blue arrows together. I also taught her how to identify each type of the egg when she comes in our kitchen. It is fun. I hope she learn something from this.

Jelly Bean, anyone?

This is a color pencil ATC done for a Wetcanvas exchange. The ref. image is from Wetcanvas's RIL. It is fun to do these tiny colorful bits.

Baby sketch#1

Well this Sat. we did not have a baby sitter. So I cannot paint much. But the good thing was that I got to sketch my baby when she was sleeping. My daughter loves to be naked at home. The first two sketches I missed the head part entirely. The third one, is a complete body sketch but I think it looks more like an alien for me so I did not post it. I will keep trying and hopefully I will improve, at least good enough not to make Iris look like an alien baby. The black ink was done with Micron pen, the other are colorpencils drawing.

Art Angel -- Prelude...

This is a colorpencils ATC (2.5x3.5) dedicated to my art angels out there. It truly comes out of my immagination. I don't have that many just a few but definitely they are a few good one. Art angel does not use a wand rather she uses a paint brush. She turns the milky way into stream of color speckles. She makes everyone around her want to pick up a brush and paint. She brings the cheerful happiness to everywhere around her.
