title untitled
media oil  on canvas
size B5
dated  march 2010

this was my first time using oils. i think oils is a rather  interesting  medium,

it does no dry very fast, so you can take your time when blending.

title paper strips
media pencil on papersize A4dated feb 2010


looking back, i feel that i have a few areas which i could improve on, 
firstly, i think i could have shaded most of the areas darker
secondly, i think i could have not used such a dark outline for some of the strips of paper

title cloth
media pencil on paper
size A4
dated feb, march 2010


i think i drew this well, the cloth really does look flowy.
 however, i think i could have increased the contrast of the dark areas and the lighter areas.

Sec 2 EOY drawing and painting paper

title surrealism
media watercolour
size A3
dated sept, oct 2009

the theme i choose was surrealism. this time i was interested shadows and wondered "what if shadows were colourful and normal things were black and white what an interesting world  would that be?" i was also sort of inspired by the lamppost in Narnia, the mysterious, dream-like landscapes.

sec 3 EOY drawing and painting paper

title natural phenomenon
media watercolour
size A3
dated sept,oct 2010


this was my drawing and painting paper for the end of the year. there were quite a number of themes to choose from. but i decided on "natural phenomenon".
when i explored the theme, i decided that the typical earthquake, eclipse, etc was to cliched. so i explored more into the unbelievable relationships that exist in nature. animals are inter-reliant on one another,trust one another and to me this is an amazing natural phenomenon.
