This week..................... of Pastels, Acrylic Paint & Co.
2nd week of 2D Art Fundamentals.. Several A3 paintings to work on..
I still don't like wet media, i don't know how to paint (in an awesome manner), so there's nothing special about my art works.. Ahhhh sian...
I think i'm more suited to do abstract paintings.. Suits someone who don't like and can't paint properly (Y)
Today's class is dry media.. Pastels and oil pastels.. Like!
However they have to be sprayed with layers of fixative (can my lungs filter out the fixative gases that i breathe in in a day?) if not the colour will run & ruin everything (whole art work + other things that come into contact with it --fingers, white tshirt, folder, papers)
Thats the only downside, but i like the "hands-on feel" --literally.. using fingers to blend the pastel powder together..

Huge earthquake in Japan earlier on today.. 8.9 leh no kidding, damn serious... The tsunami aftermath flooded many places.. Telecommunications & flights affected..
Twitterverse is filled with messages of concern~ My twitter is for me to follow mostly celebrities.. (others are fanclubs) and many Japanese & Korean celebs are tweeting about it..
Yuu Shirota, Utada Hikaru, Ayumi, Ayaka, Sugizo, Yoshiki, Ryuichi.... They re-tweeted impt info messages for Japanese fans as well as reporting their own safety to international fans who're worrying..
#prayforjapan is likely to trend.. Taec, BoA, Kahi, Brian Joo, Kibum tweeted that..
Actually not just pray for Japan, also other territories that are affected by the aftershocks & tsunamis..
Let's pray for those affected.. The weather in Japan's still cold & hope the people can stay warm in shelters..
At the same time, feel blessed that Singapore's not in earthquake zone & very much protected by our neighbours Indonesia & Malaysia, so tsunamis have super slim chance of hitting our shores & flooding our small little island..
