Mince Pies 2 & 3 Watercolour Process

These were done as accompanying pieces to my first Mince Pies Watercolour.. I don’t paint in watercolour much but thought I might document my process here. First a peek at my set up.. These were done on Rough Heavyweight 300 gsm, 100% cotton rag Archers Watercolour Paper ( one of the very best types of archival watercolour papers there is !... ), thus because of its thickness no stretching was required, and I just attached the paper to a hardboard with masking tape.

Morib Landscape (Mixed Media) WIP

So we went for a few trips to Morib ( a seaside location in Malaysia) to do some onsite sketches and photography for this next painting.. Hopefully I've been able recreate the desolate feeling of the particular spot we found ( this area happens to be a carefully guarded secret among photographers, and one has to hunt for it themselves. The dead tree that will be the focus of this piece also happens to be a fav among photographers for their fashion photo shoots!...)

When coming up with imaginary creations to paint, it helps to create a version of it in solid form.. This particular model sculpture was created as reference for my 'Dragon Eye Reflection of Creation Painting'

Making a Simple Plaster of Paris Model.

When coming up with imaginary creations of the mind for a painting, it helps to create a version of it in solid form, especially if you’re planing to paint it somewhat realistically. Depicting fantasy creatures realistically has a lot to do with light. A vivid imagination and a full understanding of the nature of light helps a lot in recreating the modulations of light and shadow that give form and substance to an imaginary subject and setting. A model of the subject is invaluable in helping with this aspect of the painting. ( See the final painting I did referencing this model at ‘

Looking back at this post with the photos I took,.. they all look so retro.. haha!. Far from the polished professional pictures expected nowadays. I kinda miss this raw look..
