succulent paintings


Succulents are very therapeutic to paint. Even though it took me awhile to understand when sketching. I love using the green and blue hues together and play it a little with oranges/ violets.

Using Hot press paper is better when painting floral related paintings. you want the smooth texture from the paper to be able to add in more details. 





Agave potatorum

Sedum palmeri



This is probably going to be my final post of the year. Say hello 2017 with more challenges and exciting adventures!

Stay gold fellas!

watercolour illustrations - Autumn 2016

Hello Everyone! I hope you're having a great holiday season.

I painted these items that are related to Autumn ( at least from what i have searched on google) Never have I ever experience autumn season before but I do think Autumn is the season of the cozy! 

I had the most fun painting the scarf and the pinecone -in which I thought I might mess them up because of the details and all. I doubt myself in the beginning but look who finished it lol. self doubt is very toxic.

October & November favourites!



Look what we have here! A blog post? 


Actually i have lots of fav stuff to show but these are the summarized version for the two months. I've been very keen in skincare lately. Better skincare means less fuss on makeup heh. 

December is the month of self reflecting and also to remind myself some goals that I want to achieve.

Christmas is around the corner, be sure to keep warm and.. eat more!

December Calendar 2016



Firstly, I have to send my apologies to whomever waiting for the calendar. But on the other hand, I finally resigned my job - which I disliked. Probably this might be on another blog post if y'all curious about it.

Anyway!

It is finally December - my favourite month of the year! First it is my birthday month and second- Christmas! Although Christmas is illegal in Brunei ( bummer!) I still can drink wine at home :D tucking under my blanky watching kdramas.

I hope you enjoy this last calendar of the year!
