Room Project Day 3

Today I finally completed my room project! It would have taken less than 2 days if i didn't go out during the day for the past 2 days. Hehe.

Done painting all the flowers. But they still need touch ups.

Background was painted black. I think they flowers stand out more with the black background, yeah?

Background DONE.

I asked the workers in my hse to help me put the painting up. They were as excited as me! The one looking at the camera is Mat btw. Hahaha

I am assuming, the guy is not as tall as 6ft. And my painting is still taller than him. So, my painting would be roughly 4ft x 6ft? Heh.

TA-DA!!!

I'm quite happy with the result. Been getting good feedbacks about it too. Last night when we went to bed, mom was staring at the painting and she said "wow. It is actually quite nice..." *beams* heh heh heh.

If only I went to art classes, i'd probably be picasso, no?

Room Project Day 2

Day 2 was yesterday actually. I wanted to update butttttt I got carried away with talking to my cousin that just came from Canada! 

Initially I drew straight on the ply wood thinking that it will be fine to paint immediately on the wood. Boy, was I wrong! 

See? I painted the 1st calla lily. And then I realised, it's ugly. I could still see the patterns and colour of the wood after painting. Only then I realised, I needed base coat for my wood. How smart? I know.

Went out to buy base coat. Wasted more money coz when I came home, I realised the painters in my house also have a lot of wood base. meh!

After 1st coat.

While I could still see the drawings after the 1st coat, I did another outline of my drawing.

After 2nd coat. In this picture, you can't really see the drawing. But I can see! 

Painting the 1st calla lily, again!

After all the shading and stuff.

2nd calla lily! I realised one thing. This painting is so big, It doesnt look good from near distance at all. oh well!

From another angle...

Can you see the white calla lily behind the colourful one?

I'm pretty excited about this project, really. I've never done anything at this scale. So it's really a lot of fun for me. I wish I had a chance to attend art classes coz if I did, I would be so much better in this! So let's see how this turns out, shall we?

Room Project Day 1

I've got to put my 30-days blog challenge on hold. But i've got something more fun! Or at least i think so.

My room has an empty wall. About 4ft x 6ft methinks? And being myself, i love personalising my own stuff. Therefore i took up the challenge to paint that wall.

See i wont be that dumb to paint on the wall right away! So, i asked for additional ply wood for me to paint on and then it can be glued onto the current wall. It makes it much easier to paint and draw too.

-Without drawing-

-with drawing- But can u see the difference??? squint la!

I will be updating with visual aids the progress of my room project. Let's hope it turns out great!

I cant wait I cant wait!!!
