Pencil & Paint

Haiz. Would you believe that this is my second attempt at putting this piece up? The first time I tried couple days ago, Blogger ate it up and all was lost. Then I tried to rant on Siew Mai Can Bite but that post got eaten up to. Probably some maintenance was going on at the time. Haiz.

Anyhow, daffodil-like flower I picked up from Seaton Park on my way to the beach. This was done maybe a week or two before my exams started. Currently it's up on our flat fridge at my flatmates' insistance but personally I see it as one of those getting-back-into-the-hang-of-it pieces. You may notice that the water-colour version isn't too fancy and in fact is more than a little amateur-ish. My excuse is A) I'm not that proficient with paints anyhow and B) there wasn't very much I could do with the paints I had on hand. They were those convenient pallate types that are basically just round circles of dried up paint powders. You can see the little bits of testing I did on the bottom corner, trying to see if any shading could be done with them.

Think I'll stick to pencils for a while more.
