I for Infidelity from start to (almost) finish
by snow on Jul.30, 2011, under blog
With only a few more alphabet paintings from the finishing line, I have been locking myself in the studio to paint. I for Infidelity has become one of my favourite alphabet paintings. Here is a brief visual journey through my working process of an alphabet painting:

First step of drawing the impala.

The impala still looks more like a horse or a deer at this stage.
At the beginning of this series, all paintings were dark and earthy. Some of my recent alphabet paintings have become colourful. I for Infidelity is bright yellow!

The body complete except for the horns!

Started to outline the girl.

The girl almost complete!

Mixing the paint for the background!

I always outline around the figures first.

The background is done! Now I only need to paint in the dress when the background dries!
My apology for the inconsistent white balance iphone photos.

Homemade seafood dinner delivered to my studio to the endlessly working artist on a Saturday evening.

What I see upon leaving the studio late at night.

Colourful fluroscent light tubes at Quarry Bay Market, Hong Kong.
Besides working in the studio, I have been making an effort to visit the museums in Hong Kong. The local public museums are heavily subsidized, and the entrance fee is usually a tad over $ 1 Canadian. Furthermore, all museums feature numerous tours and talks for the enjoyment and education of the public.
This weekend, I look forward to attending a talk at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and if time allows, I would love to visit the new exhibition at the Museum of History.
Life in Hong Kong

Working in the studio on a rainy day.

My alphabet paintings finally arrived in my Hong Kong studio!

Mom insisted on a religious opening ceremony. I was told Chinese people are superstitious...

Since my paintings have arrived, I can finally start working on them! K for Kiss sketched out.

K for Kiss stage 2.

K for Kiss partly inked in.

K for Kiss almost completely inked.
Have been locking myself in the studio to draw and paint and draw and paint.

Beautiful Hong Kong

Sunset overlooking Kowloon Peninsula. Wow, iphone photo without filter.

Another view of Kowloon Peninsula. Kowloon (nine dragons) gets its name from its geographical setting. Can you count 9 mountains from the two photographs?

View from Star Ferry crossing Victoria Harbour. The Star Ferry is one of my favourite transportation method in Hong Kong, very historic and beautiful.
Just thought I would share some iphone snapshots of the beautiful city.
More coming.
