Saturday Classes
My semester of Saturday classes have finally come to a close today! Since the start of the year, almost all my Saturdays had been occupied by classes (2 painting classes and 1 rubber stamping class), that’s from 4pm till 9:30pm! As much as I enjoy oil painting, doing 2 back-to-back classes on the weekend seemed […]

Badminton
It’s been months since I last played badminton, kinda miss it, almost forgot the joy of rallying the little birdie. My racquet seemed to be a little overjoyed too, its string finally broke. My ankles (first right then left) got hurt while playing soccer a few weeks ago, still not fully recovered. My injuries usually […]

Drawing the Human Figure
Re-learning how to draw the human figure… I bought the suggested book “The Figure” years ago when I took a life-drawing course, I enjoyed the course but I hardly read the book. Good thing I brought that book back to HK, I just started picking up the book again and find it very useful. If […]

Sat. without Painting Classes
There was no oil painting and rubber stamp classes today due to public holiday. I went back to the studio to indulge in a little ink & wash on my own. Enjoyed the occasional solitary time in front of the drawing board with my favorite music playing on the background. Had dinner with my UW […]

Sketching
Spent the last two afternoons sketching. It’s been a long time since I’ve spent such an elaborate amount of time sketching feverishly, apparently I can still do the art…

Lunch with Old Friend
Met up with a primary school classmate who recently moved back to HK to further his architectural career. Had a long and wonderful chat with him in wildly unrelated topics including environmental issues, government policies, architecture, design, painting, photography, career, family, friends,… I’m really thankful to have such a friend whom I can enjoy an […]

Creative Friday
Deliberately avoided doing the regular work at the studio today. Instead, I completed the “homework” for my rubber stamping class, watered the plants, and did a little reorganization of the stuff in the studio. Since moving my painting classes from Monday to Saturday, I no longer continued my Creative Mondays. Kinda miss it, so I’m […]

Soccer
A friend’s wedding banquet on Sunday allowed me to meet up with some old soccer teammates from university. One of the teammates is actually my primary school classmate, we used to play soccer together before school, during recesses, lunch, and after school! Yes, soccer is a big part of my primary school life. I asked […]

Creative Monday
With the chalkboard project completed on Sat., I decided to start a new project in the studio today. Had been wanting to find a way to recycle paper for a long time, and I just thought of an idea today, I’m gonna code name the project Paper Sofa! Bought some supplies and started the project […]
