Young Bride

My only remaining highschool friend, Yulian (okay, I didn't have any friend in highschool, but nonetheless) told me she's getting married. *sniff* I can't believe Yulian's getting married... Time really flies by. She made me a maid of honour which made me panic in fear (I do not know anything about marriage ceremonies. Must research!) but also very honoured. We had a dinner together, chatting and brought her home to do this painting tonight. Painting to celebrate her marriage announcement.

Yulian's favourite colour is pink, thus I tried to use it everywhere I can. The painting took three hours, which she patiently sit still for me. I like the way it turned out, but wished there were more negative space. I think I should've gotten a bigger canvas. It would've been really nice with huge vast vertical space (with patterns) on top. I also didn't explore the full potential of 'wooden' canvas. I wanted to carve and scratch and sand more... but didn't have enough time. I mean, it's mean to make her sit all night. D:

Bubble Bubble

A small portrait of my friend done for his birthday last month. I better practice more as this doesn't quite look like him. The material and the composition is a bit boring. This acrylic crackle medium actually worked this time. However, they were quite strange crackles, almost like wrinkles in most parts. I wish I put more textures in the background and be more loose with paintings (more creative).

But I shan't be such a moody little fish as some might say. Moody fish are often green and green is such a awful ugly colour.
