Snatch of a song

Acrylic on paper

Chalky

                                                              
I bought chalk pastels by mistake when what I'd wanted was to experiment with oil pastels. This needs more filling in..

Light-drawn

Acrylic, 6 x 8 inches

I’d like to believe it was the Zeuxis effect...

No show

The joint painting exhibition I had taken weeks months to prepare for was abruptly called off. :(

Sketch

The problem with taking nice reference shots of houses is the unpredictable sunshine factor. Masses of clouds invariably get in the way of crisp shadows.

Painting Pomfret

Oils on stretched canvas

Mr Wee Shoo Leong @ Waterloo Street had a surprise for our still life class - a fish!

Pomfret is good for steaming when it's fresh (though it need not be shashimi-fresh). You can tell if a fish is fresh if, among other things, its eyes are bright and not sunken, its flesh firm to the touch, and it does not smell fishy.

This Pomfret passed muster under our nose scrutiny ;=>

Contained

I'm glad the dust at the blue bottle's neck wasn't wiped off for the set-up.
