Still Life of Soya Sauce Jug, drapes,
black shell-like pot and tomatoes. Final:
(Mid-March) |
This is should be my second
still life in soft pastels. The entire composition was at
first marked out carefully with an ultramarine blue stick
at the darkest areas. Colours were block layered in three main tones -- light, medium, dark -- before attention was spent on details. |

Still
Life of grapes, silver bowl, red container, green wine
bottle and red neck-wrap-like-thing. Final: (9th
Jan '98) |
This is the first still life painting
I've ever done. Also the first time I was using velour
for ground. It was quite experimental altogether, since I
was tempering in areas I've not touched before in my
secondary school. Flaws: you can't tell where the red container is can you? And I bet you've never seen such a strange wine bottle. |

Nature-Study:
Spring onion and tomato. Final: (1st Nov '97) |
The piece was done as a practice for
my '97 'O'-level art exam. It is one of two practice
drawings I did, probably two weeks before the paper
itself. Flaws: After consultation, my teacher didn't like it, and I think I know why. The tomato doesn't look like one. |

Nature-Study:
Leafy Veggie, ginger, tomato and carrot. Final: (1st
Nov '97) |
The other practice piece I did. It
took quite a while and I think I exceeded the supposed
time limit. It got quite frustrating working on this
piece, therefore I stopped rather abruptly. Flaws: ginger looks as if it has eaten into the carrot. |
 |
Nature-Study:
Chinese wine bottle, apple, orange peel and dried fish. Final:
(21st Feb '97) |
My favourite piece of painting ever
done. All other paintings take a lower standing. This
piece was done for a class test in 1997, back in my
secondary school. I had to rush through it because I
didn't have proper class periods to work with. The dried
fish was my favourite subject. Flaws: You tell me... |
