[March favourites 2016 ] - I like my bun crusty on the outside.
March is going to say goodbye. It has been a great month. Got few commissions finished and I recently have more time to do some personal projects for my portfolio. Nevertheless, I am always open for commissions :D
Here are a bunch of stuff that made my march amazing!
1. Hot milo
Brings me back to my childhood days when I got too generous on sugar-intake. Milo is just my go-to drink when I just want some cozy in my belly.
2. Pineapple bun/ polo bun
I don't know how I got so into this bun. It's just my favourite 3p.m snack that is also bad for the hips.
3. Aloe vera
I have very nasty dry skin spots around my knees, elbows and my fingers. aloe vera somehow works magic on my skin, except that you need to apply it multiple times a day.
4. Polaroid sunglasses
A pair of shades is a must-have especially when you reside in a tropical country. I cannot stand the glare from the sun while driving and Polaroid type shades are the good choice to go for.
5. Daler Rowney sketchbook ( A4 size)
By far my most favourite sketchbook ever! I've been using this mainly for watercolour practice. The paper is 160gsm which is reasonably good for watercolours.
Guys, If you want to have a affordable choice for a watercolour sketchbook, pick this one! ***Malaysians you can get this sketchbook from Art friend.
6. Succulent plant
They have a pleasant colour palette that is very therapeutic to paint. I used to have succulent plants on my desk but unfortunately they cannot survive in a air-con room :(
Do you know : that Aloe vera is also a succulent?

Food painting exercises
Hello to whoever is reading this post!.
I want to thank to you guys for hanging around from my absence . You see, I've been avoiding social media just to put more focus on painting stuffs that I have not painted yet.

For now I have a few that I personally liked.
 |
| crunchy bread |
 |
| Doughnut with chocolate sauce filling on the center. |
 |
| Portuguese tart. |
 |
| Baguette. |
 |
| ...some pie? I painted this without any referemce so you can really see the mistakes here. |
 |
| Pineapple bun/ Polo bun. Again without reference. NOTE TO SELF: Always use references! |
Although they weren't looking as what I expected them to be; instead of being so critical of myself I'd be happy to know that I can be better next time. As an artist, I'd like to keep learning and never stay stagnant in one level.
