Calm waves, cool skies.

What’s up! Today’s blog post would be alittle different from those pictures that I have taken as I have decided to paint a picture instead! It is a perspective of a Beach!

 Some people like their beach to be filled with people or even things to play with, but I kind of like a beach that is much more simpler and less people. Despite it being simple looking, I have tried to make everything very soothing for the mind. 

RELAX , is the keyword for my this very water-color painting. The skies I have depicted is to be very soft, and yet filled with sufficient blue to keep the sky moving like as if there are cotton candies up there for us to eat. Everybody love some mild and cooling wind; The “wind” that I have in this picture can be seen from the small waves forming. 

Little wind, small waves equals the best beach experience! If I can have a getaway, this is the kind of place I would like to be in with my friends and family of course! Although sometimes being alone can help me relax more but with friends and family accompanying you, what more can you ask for right? 

When we are at the beach, let's just keep Calm like the waves and cool like the skies!

Fantastic Friends. Current Life in NAFA.

                                                            

Hello there ! As of now, three weeks have passed in Nanyang Academy Of Fine Arts and for the three weeks it has been awesome !  

I still remember getting the letter (Picture 1) by NAFA around March or April that I have passed the entrance exam that I have taken and I was accepted in to the school. I was very thrilled and afraid at the same time as I didn’t know if I would have friends there or whether I would do well in an arts school.

During orientation, I didn’t dare to talk to anyone as I was uncertain if the people here will be friendly or not. However, during orientation, i have gotten to know people like Lynson (Picture 2 on the left with a red hoodie) and KianHoe(Picture 2 wearing a black shirt) when I joined the orientation camp. They were wild, cool and funny!

However, I was alittle sad that we were separated by the classes we got into. But, it was than I got to know a girl in the same class as me.VA1H by the name of Princess (Picture 3) that soon joined our group! We now would often meet up together for lunch every now and then. Three weeks into learning in the school and I have met great friends that are awesome and i can be crazy with !

As quoted from Mark Twain, “ Good Friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience; this is the ideal life.”

Perfect Panda

On the 28th July, Sunday, I've decided to take a short tour around a place where shopaholics call home, Orchard Road. 

It was just only the beginning of the first week of school and assignments have been piling up and upcoming projects were kind of a worry to me as as this is no doubt my first week of school as a freshmen. With that being said, I decided to head down to Orchard Road together with my friends from secondary school to relax for the 'last time' , preparing with the all-out battle with assignments and projects that will be given by lecturers! 

As I walk around Orchard Road, what really caught my eye was this panda that was overflowing with the creativity of artists that designed it. Being located just outside Orchard Ion, I couldn't help standing there in awe at how such a simple black and white coated panda could be brought out in this manner. 

This work has not only kept the simplicity of the panda's original color and shape, but with some hints of colors like blue, red, yellow and violet being added, it has brought out the unique side of the panda despite it being originally coated with neutral colors like black and white. 

Not forgetting the details of the lines, it has also brought out the shapes of faces that can be seen on the panda itself. Such creativity and the simplicity is what i should take note of as not always doing thing very complicatedly will be nice. What a source of inspiration!
