| My hubby's rendering! (Watercolour) |
My hubby and myself had stayed in a small town called, "Umina Beach" in Central coast for our short holiday. We had very limited I-net access there so that we dedicated ourselves for doing creative things. My hubby had worked on his film script. I had worked on my watercolour paintings. As I had never learnt how to use watercolour paints, I brought a few self-learning books to study by myself. I used Holbein watercolour paints (recently discovered favourite medium!!). I also tried a new medium called, GANSAI. GANSAI is a Japanese traditional solid watercolours. It is a water-based pigment and ideal for sketch, illustration, sumi-e and more. (I'm mastering this medium during this summer school holiday season so that I will be able to use this for interior design rendering once the school resumes in Feb) GANSAI paints blend beautifully, the colours are rich and vibrant. My 46 colours-set came with the metallics, too. As a comparison, I chose similar hues from GANSAI and watercolour paints, and rendered various fruits. (For the first time to use this medium, I did pretty well. Good on me!!) :)
主人と共に、オーストラリアのセントラルコースト地区のユーマイナ・ビーチと言う小さな町でショートホリデーを楽しんできました（シドニーから電車で北に２時間）。インターネットのアクセスがほとんど無かったので、２人でクリエイティブな事をして過ごす事にしました。主人は映画の脚本を書いてました。私は水彩画に挑戦。水彩画は習った事が無いので、持参した本を見ながら独学です。水彩画はホルベイン透明水彩絵の具を使いました。あと日本画用の顔彩絵の具にも初挑戦！（来年２月にインテリアデザインのクラスがスタートするので、それまでに顔彩をうまく使いこなせるようになるのだ！）顔彩と水彩絵の具の仕上がりの違いを比較する為、似たような色で色んなフルーツを塗ってみました。（独学で初体験にしてはよく頑張った！偉いぞ、私！！）:)
