What define an artist?

I really can’t give a definite answer. I believe every artist sees things/objects differently.

My ultimate dream is to have my very own exhibition. Especially colour pencils media, since I’ve never seen a  art, solely on cp, in Malaysia. I want to show that this media is at par with those of the norm such as water colour, acrylic etc. I’ve seen deviant art using cp, on a very huge scale, of course, it is done by a professional artist. So it’s not impossible to do deviant, abstract, modern art using cp, but one definitely needs tonnes of cp!!

We had an artist friend, who is also a freelance curator, who came over for a drink one night and I asked his opinion on me holding a exhibition. He said I need at least 15- 20 pieces of complete work and better still

I love how my paintings look in print,

was afraid the print will show all my defects or mistakes but it turned out good. All thanks to hubby and his associate who scanned it on high resolutions.

Hope to one day combine it all and turn it into my own personal collection in print.

What made me want to paint rock pebbles?

Funny, when you see it at a glance, they just look so dull and grey, but soak them in water, you see their real colours.
It’s a challenge for me to get the right colour using colour pencils as they are not like water or oil paint where you can blend them before you paint it.

You see, on  a black paper it’s hard to use black. In order to make the black popped out, I’ve used ‘ink blue’ as base then only I use the black or the green.

It was fun watching the colour comes to life. I’m very very satisfied with this painting as this is my 1st on this subject. More to come, on pebbles, with more varieties of colours.

My collections.

Looks a lot but for me, it’s still not enough. Each pencil has it’s own distinguish character.

But to get my ‘dream’ set is way over my budget at the moment. One day…..
