Painting - Lily

Small paintings are excellent exercises for preparation to paint a bigger  painting. In my earlier post, I posted my small paintings of lily that I painted. By doing the smaller paintings, I gained experiences and I have now completed this bigger painting with more lilies as my subjects of painting. We need basic drawing skill for this type of painting of course, I painted this painting using direct observation method.

Acrylic painting - small paintings

I find that doing small painting is full of satisfaction and joy.

Recently I have painted small paintings with acrylic medium. One of the reasons is that it is quiet easy to obtain art supply like the stretched canvas of small sizes from the art shop now a day compare with the days in 70's 80's and early 90's, during that time I could not obtain such small size canvas easily and conviniently in Singapore and make to order is not that convenient and economical either.

If any of you like to acquire my small painting, you can visit my paintings 2010 website and email me to let me know the paintings that you wish to buy. Here are two paintings of Lily that I painted most recently.

 One Lily. 2010. Acrylic on canvas. 6 x 6 inches.

 Lily 1703. 2010 Acrylic on canvas. 6 x 6 inches.

Sound of Peace - Acrylic painting by Singapore painter.

I am happy to know that my painting Sound of Peace that I painted in the 90's is now at SIA Silver Kris Lounge in Hongkong airport. I am happy to see this painting, as I have almost forgotten it until I see it again. I have many paintings collected by SIA and the paintings are installed in SIA Silver Kris Lounges in international airports in many major cities around the world. If you see my paintings somewhere, you are welcome to send me an image of it and that you will make me happy to see my painting again.

Learn how to paint in Singapore. Oil painting or Acrylic painting.

If you know how to sketch the things you see, most likely you would be able to paint them with some painting skill and techniques. All these could be learned and practiced. Below pictures for reference. First, I sketched the things I wish to paint. After I have sketched it on canvas then I started to paint it. Observation is one of the way for this painting. I added colours on the canvas and until finally I completed the painting.
