Drawing Class Update

My almost final drawing - We took 4 lessons & weeks to draw this. Talk about patience... Teacher's comments on this? In chinese - tai(4th) jin(3rd).... too tight... aka... too over-detailed in the sense that it looks finished, realistic, but not 'artistic' enough... it's 'cold' not warm...etc.. seesh!!! I had a hard time figuring what he's saying in chinese.. but this is what i gathered. So well, more work for me to understand what is really 'art'.. heh...



The class's drawings in comparison: We placed our drawings together to compare and critique... the one on the RIGHT is the 'best' in terms of understanding of the concept of drawing... according to teacher, the other 3 of us, haven't really got it yet... but i like mine still -- considering it looks most pretty in terms of the shape & composition. Meanwhile, the chicken painting you see here is huge but apparently, teacher says it's not big at all... - by the teacher.. he's called Low Kim Chit... and we call him KC. hehe!

Recently, we had a BBQ with KC's new oil painting class members, and last Tues we had a new member join our drawing class - Belinda Lim from The Wine Company. How apt.. for us alchis... i'm prob the least of them all... but not worse than Lynn! whahaha... we were saying Monica should be able to get along with Belinda perfectly fine when she's back. They seem one of a kind... Kris was so entertaining with all her crap and PL was concentrating pretty hard while trying to finish 2 lessons in 1 day as he's overseas for next lesson.

All in all... drawing class seems such a wonderful getaway. We have homework this weekend. It's to draw a spoon. I am actually quite lazy... never practice.. so this is good.... not to mention, i still have plans to paint some spectacular singapore skyline for Ju... gosh.. when is that ever going to happen! First i need to go buy canvas...!!
