‎2011.02.13 on location B&W gouache painting at Eaton Canyon Park

I am taking a landscape painting class @ Concept Design Academy with Jackson Sze.

Coz I have been thinking about doing more painting practices w/ traditional media for a while and also painting on locations but I don't feel that comfortable doing it... (I'm shy XD) So by taking this class... it's a goof way to force myself doing it ~ ha.

Here are two B&W gouache paintings for our first on location painting class.

I spent longer time on the first one (1.5~2hrs) ~ I did it slow since it's my first traditional medium painting for the past.... 3+ yrs?


Didn't spend much time on the 2nd one (less than 1 hr) ..so I think this one is just ok ~:P

I guess I will force myself to do more on location paintings just for fun and for building the mileage (and also to train myself not to be shy if I paint alone XD).

High school oil paintings

Yup~ these are paintings I had done when I was in high school.
My high school in Taiwan "Fu-Hsin Trade & Arts School" is a vocational art school.
We had to learn all kind of drawing, painting, design (graphic design, interior design), block printing, crafts, and even photography skills.


This is a huge painting ~ about the same height as me
(lazy to check the exact size of canvas)
"Rebirth"


Still Life
