I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT I WENT FOR MY VERY FIRST OIL PAINTING CLASS!
YAY!
So So stoked.
It was a really good lesson.
Edmund had this promotional offer from DBS MC2 credit card that entitled him and a friend to 4 lessons at $75. Dirt cheap!
So we rocked up to this lady's house, Cynthia's, at holland village.
Edmund brought along his friend.
So the 3 of us went there not knowing what to expect.

She actaully converted on of em small terrace houses into a art studio.
Quiet impressive.
The calibre of the students whos works we saw..were simply WICKED!
There was this one painting by a 9 year old!
Fucking brilliant.

Anyway, we started off doing charcoal sketching today,
brought my piece home to work on it.
We also outlined our subject on canvas for next weeks painting.
I chose a close up of a traditional white lily.
Yes yes, boring old Jo.
I love lilies!

Quite technical, lots of shading but nothing compared to what Edmund chose.
A landscape of a running stream with a forest backdrop.
Next week should be interesting.

Saw this at Crystal Jade.
I met the bravest crab today.
He was clawing his way out of the tank, and actaully succeded and got half of his body out.
WHAT A CRAB!
