Salam to all readers....

Pejam celik pejam celik dah post yg ke 106..rase cam sekejap je....tak sangke termasuk jugak dlm golongan blogger although dulu sgt menentang penulisan blog nih...hehee...

But today, i've decided to make the red crater panoramic view as my final NEW ZEALAND artwork....nevertheless, the trading status of the current paintings will always be updated....

many thanks to all of you..my dear readers y sanggup mencuci mate melihat lukisan2 saye yg tak seberapa nih...thanks for all your commments and encouragement...i really appreciate it.. and also for those yg mahukan artwork dr saye dan saye tak sempat buat..i'm soo sorry...i'll no longer accept any commission from others at the meantime...coz i need to focus on cleaning the room (make it super duper bersih tuk kak zen) n also packing for shipping...

But for the next year, or maybe at the end of this year, i'll inform you guys through this blog if there is any progress or updates...i haven't really decided what to do...whether to continue to paint, to build a new blog maybe?or new website?...but the most certain thing is that i'll turn to malaysian arts, focusing on landscape, culture and values...i would love to learn some more about fine arts...but there are still lots of other things to think.. and to do....

Oklah, enough membebel..wish u guys success and happiness in life...smoge ketemu lagik di lain masa...hargaila masa yg masih bersisa .. :)

p/s: And to bg Lat, thanks for visiting this blog, semoge dpt ketemu your masterpieces di suatu masa nanti....

Salam..
sORRI sBAB TAK update sMALAM....

hehehe...so post ari nih will cover progress smalam n hari nih..ok jai??..Dan berikut adalah kronologinyer:

Apply base colour ....this base colour will be the first layer...

Pastuh buat detail batu2 kecil pada kawasan yg berbatu...nak senang gune berus gigi je...celup pada colour yg bercampur air..dan dgn berhati2 percikkkan pada kwsan yg mempunyai batu...

Tambahkan tone gelap..naikkan tekstur gunung volcanoe yg pelik nih....

Selepas itu, pudarkan warna gunung ngauruhoe dan bukit2 yg terletak di bhg belakang..supaya nampak perbezaan jarak....baru logik skit...

Blum siap sepenuhnye lagi....Line framing akan dicontinue esok ye kalo takde pee hal...

Anyway, hari nih pi picnic...budak2 nih ajak..ramai org dtg time nih...berjoging, diving...most of them beriadah...tapi kami plak dtg tmpt nih tuk mkn2 ...

Anyway, such a good weather today...reflections on water are super duper beautiful..fuh!Gonna miss welly...undoubtedly...

Am i ready for the changes..?

Panoramic view red crater fasa 1

2008-11-03T22:59:00.000-08:00

Progress for today:

gambar agak gelap sbab cahaya kurang, maklumle ari nih cuaca tak berapa elok...yg sebenar takde la segelap ini...disebabkan bhg yg dah siap ni terletak di latar belakang, maka warne nyer akan dipudarkan sikit nanti...

Disebabkan kanvas agak kecik dr biase, iA cepat skit bleh siap...

esok sambung kalo rajin :)

Panoramicc view at mt ngauruhoe red crater

2008-11-03T13:16:00.000-08:00

Salam sume,

Dgn in diiystiharkan, merdeka!!!..yeah..

Seperti yg dijanjikan pada pakcik lee, akan dicontinue painting the panoramic view, red crater mt ngauruhoe..seperti yg diatas...credit to mr tom dempsey: www.photoseek.com

agak challenging..but i'll try

Projek cuti ...seperti biase, painting...tgk cite jepun dan korea...sementara stock masih ada...survey tmpt3 menarik kat sini for vacation hujung thun...mencari2 keje, kalo ada yg best...beli brg2 keperluan tuk travel....

Stakat ni, dah ada ramai penjual paintings kat trademe...dulu paling bnyk 1000 je artworks, skang nih da ade 4000++....ehmm.,must be competitive, bnyk jugak yg cantek2 n murah...tak kisah le, kalo ade rezki dpt le jual...

For kaiwi beach, dah ade 3 bidders..skang NZD$152...dan windmill palmy ade 5 watchers..rasenyer diorang nih takmo beli, just interested je kut..harge yg diletak NZD$250...which is quite expensive compare ngan lukisan2 lain kat trademe,....ehmm,diorang niih tunggu turunkan harge baru nak beli kut..but i think i'm gonna stick to that price..or around that...For the latest painting, mt taranaki, ade 4 watchers...harge yg diletak is NZD$380...not sure they wanna buy or not...

Ehm..k la...the progress of the next painting will be updated later...

Chow!...mulakan hari ngan senyuman dan angan2

the final Mt Egmont/Taranaki

2008-10-28T21:28:00.001-07:00

The final piece of Mt egmont/taranaki located at New Plymouth is finally complete...Saye sendiri tak tau patut berpuas hati ke tak...maybe i should go there one day n tgk sendiri tempat nih ngan mata kpale sendiri...

Anyway, any condemn and comment dialu2kan....saye budak baru belajar...

Hari nih sgt tak produktif....i have to study for the final exam paper, which will be on Monday next week..tapik my serebrum tak bleh nak switch on...walaupun most of the answers are based on common sense, but still saye cuakkk!!! first time rase takde hati nak bace,,.paper construction and structures are far more interesting than this management paper.....haha,dah le ade 2 hari seminar before exam nih, kacau jiwa....puan siti, takmo pi seminar bleh??ehhe

Anyway.,tinggal 6 hari je lagi bergelar undergraduate student (hopefully kalo pass exam,haha)....need to think for the future...nak keje ape ek??sudah ade beberapa kawan mengadu, tntg susahnyer menjadi new worker..hhohoo...bnyk2 sabo ye kawan2 sekalian...saye bakal berada di situasi anda tahun depan...cuak!

walauape2 pun saya akan terus berkarya..kalo bleh start dr tahun depan nak cuba subject baru...landscape tetap menjadi subject utama,..cume maybe nak try wat painting yg meaningful dan menusuk jiwa...ohoh..seperti muke seorang pakcik tua merenung jauh,..pandangan penuh erti...huhu,atau kanak2 bermain2.....saye mahu menjadi lebih rajin nak wat details...tgk la camne kerajinan saye tahun depan

This Mt egmont painting is the final piece for october...tak tipu cam ari tuh..btui..hehe, lpas exam nak continue buat panoramic view at mt ruapehu...my targeted client for sure mr lee mather...hope dier suke kedua2 pieces nih..kalo tak suke pun, bleh je jual kat intenet...

Oklah, gambatte cik min!!!...rajin2 la ye

Still rase ade bnyk perlu diperbaiki, sometimes it's hard to figure out the most suitable colour for the grass...aih,payah btui..... hhehe,,last skali la alter sume...

so, the next step will be the black n white framing kat sekeliling....esok ptg kalo rajin i'll update ok..:)

2008-10-02T03:12:00.000-07:00

Salam sejahtera dear readers..

Malam nih malam kedua raya, Pn Siti dtg ke rumah membawa makanan tuk kami...kanak- kanak drummond street, ade bihun goreng...mmg durian runtuh sungguh mlm nih...sbab saye dpt duit raye!...dah 3 thun tak dpt sampul berwarna hijau...dan mungkin sampul nih yg terakhir tuk saye...sbab bile dah keje for sure la kan tak dapat duit raye :P

Dan juge...mlm tuh pn siti telah mengexplore bilik saye dan juge lukisan2 yg terpampang di merata2...dan beliau suke...saye sungguh terharu ngan galakan yg diberikan...

Frankly, pn siti, u're one of those yg really influence me to continue my interest in art....sejak berjumpa ngan beliau psl kerjaya beberapa bln yg lepas, saye dah mule berpikir untuk kembali serius dlm bidang nih...which is actually part of my life...THANK U VERY MUCH!

Harituh terbace artikel macam mane nak jadik success... salah satu mende yg penting ialah kene ade penuh minat terhadap kerjaya yg dilakukan..Bill Gates pun penah kate walaupun dier takde duit, dier tetap nak continue buat software, sbab mmg bende tuh yg dier minat,,...so hidup lebih bermakna...

Malam ni, pn siti beli CASTLEPOINT saye...huhu...terharu sungguh...ikut rase hati, mmg saye btul2 ikhlas nak kasi...mmg ikhlas tak tipu, sbab pn siti dah naikkan smangat saye, encourage me from the start...dr mule pendapatan saye yg ciput hingga mencecah ribuan dollar skarang....alhamdulillah...tapi semua duit nih saye simpan bkn tuk saye...fahamilah ye

it's true what people said,...do the thing that u love the most,...and usually money and success will come after you...

Okeh la..esok ade interbiu keje plak...wish me luck.. ketar2 jugak sbab dan lame tak stat keje...

Kami bersama pn siti yg kaler pink kat tgh..mcm student comel molek jer :)

Gambar raya akan diupdate kemudian...

Syang sume...slamat malam :)

ridhwanisme...: ehmm, skali pandang mmg bangunan tuh nmpk flat..tapik cube perhatikan cahaya dtg dr sebelah kanan, dan perasan kan ade bukit warne gelap tuh(cahaya dr balik bukit itu)....sebenarnyer bangunan tuh tak dpt cahaya sbab terlindung dek bukit tuh...soo, kalo nak buat tone kaler lebey2 cam tak logik la plak...tapik maybe bleh emphasize skit shape bangunan tuh, thanx ekk ridhwan...i'll try to makeup makeup mane2 yg patut....

I do really appreciate your comments....kdg2 bile melukis nih, mmg tak perasan certain2 aspects...sbab tuh mmg bagus tuk terima pendapat org lain...skang nih pengkritik tetap saye bleh dikatakan cik munirah...(ala-ala kudsia kahar)....dan matjai (ala-ala adlin aman ramli)..hahha....sape2 nak jadik pengkritik jemputan amat2 la dialu2kan,...

the Grand Chateau-part4

2008-09-18T03:02:00.000-07:00

Yeay, almost siappp....hari nih concentrate on bangunan, rumput dan pokok2 di dpnnnya...

Setelah siap makeup bangunan tuh, mulalah mengecat hitam putih disekelilingnyer...this hitam putih version diibaratkan sbg framing tuk lukisan tuh...konon nak kasik unik dan ia juga bleh dikatakan sbg 'trademark' saye...
Okeh...skang nih cume tinggal nak wat line framing je lagikk....

Esok i'll update with the final version iA...

Ok, tata...nite!

the Grand Chateau-part3

2008-09-17T04:46:00.000-07:00

okeh...nih part 3..day 3....

Buat bangunan tuh agak mencabar skit, sbab kene wat straight line gune berus...kene bnyk sabar...tuk bangunan tuh gune flat brush, tingkap gune detail brush, yg bukit2 tuh gune fan brush, yg bukit salji plak gune sume jenis brus...heheh..,(except fan brush) ..

(sile notice yg gamba agak terang, ini adalah kerana diterangi lampu fluorescent bentuk spiral yg digunakan untuk menambah pencahayaan diwaktu mlm )

Okeh, esok bleh siap kut kalo xde pe2 hal....

gonna update later...chow!

the Grand Chateau-part2

2008-09-16T18:22:00.001-07:00

Okeh, nih part 2...day 2..smalam punyer,telah gune imagination tuk jadikan gunung nih diselaputi salji...juge menggunakan poskad farah sebagai panduan..

Cube focus pade lighting....cahaye dr sebelah kanan..

Ok, progress hari nih akan diupdate nanti ye...maybe mlm skit kut..hohoh...

Hari nih jugak, Dierdre from Hastings dah beli Milford Sound dgn harge NZD $280...alhamdulillah..yg menariknyer, dier jugak adalah seorang pelukis, right now dier lukis gunung tapik tgh stuck tak dpt nak buat..dan dier beli lukisan nih tuk bagi panduan tuk dier...macam-macam kan..

Ok la, mari kite berusaha lagik!

Grand Chateau-Part 1

2008-09-15T04:12:00.000-07:00

Di atas request johan Malaysia,(bkn johan welly ye :)..yg mahu saye record progress of my paintings dr awal, saye akan berusaha untuk mengupdate dari semase ke semasa...(btui ke ayat nih?,hehe)

Hari nih, first time saye gunekan pensel, lukis atas canvas seblum paint. Sbab slame nih saye tak selesa nak buat lakaran terlebih dahulu... slalunyer just trus kaler atas canvas (jgn amalkan, tak elok,hooho, abg lat pun lakar dulu sblum paint). Tapik disebabkan kali nih lukis bangunan yg detail, maka saye pn decide tuk melakar atas kanvas terlebih dahulu (rase cam arkitek lak haha)

Okeh,..first step dah siap..esok kite mulakan mengecat ye....mulakan dari atas( langit) sampaila ke bawah (tanah)...dari yg paling jauh hingga yg paling dekat...

OKe, adiyoos!!

LAGIK,,,,

2008-09-14T15:48:00.000-07:00

huUUUU......saye buhsan...the next assignment is due another 3 weeks....but it is a group report...n i got one month for construction report hand in....got plenty of time eh!

tRASE bersalah lak tak buat keje....uuuu, guilty..tapik mmg takde keje...ohohohoh!..nak cari keje kat sjs pun xde yg sesuai...

Maka saye pun berhasrat untuk membuat lagik satu painting....i hope the final one before abih this sem....dah lame pikir nak wat ke tak gamba nih...ade lots of potential, tapik sgt risky, ade kemungkinan untuk tidak menjadi lukisan yg dikagumi jike salah langkah...anyway, time kaseh uncle tom demspey for this photo...

THE GRAND CHATEAU MT RUAPEHU NZ

It is better kalo mt kat blakang tuh diselaputi salji, but i dont have any photos bleh digunakan, ehmmm nak amik dr intenet nanti copyright violation la plak..

Dear cik SHAZA

2008-09-13T18:23:00.000-07:00

Commision painting...

2008-09-11T21:47:00.000-07:00

Buat masa ini saye tak boleh menghasilkan lukisan2 yg berdimensi besar...kerana bilik saye dah tak muat...hahah..

Oleh itu, saye beralih kepada commision painting....kali ni, saye telah diinstruct oleh cik shaza yg manis comel untuk melukis lake matheson...bersaiz agak kecil dr yg slalu saye buat.. dan dgn happienyer saye berkata...baik!...

Untuk pengetahuan rakan2..ye saye bleh buatkan lukisan untuk anda, tapi anda diminta menanggung kos kanvas..untuk cik shaza, harge canvas adalah..13.95 dollar...murah je kan,,..heheh...yg selebihnyer terletak kepada budi bicara anda si pembeli, bleh donate jika berpuas hati..terpulang..yg penting saye mahu anda happpie ngan ape yg saye lukiskan....

For me, this gift is for others....kalo bleh mmg saye mau kasik free je, tapik skarang nih, saye sedang megumpul wang..hehehe,ye moi

okeh, hopefully lukisan tuk cik shaza dapat membuatkan anda gembira :)

Entry with no Pictures..

2008-09-11T03:20:00.000-07:00

Okeh, everybody...ladies and gentlemen...yg comel molek dan kacak-kacak belaka...

Sejak 2-3 hari nih, terasa nak tulis sesuatu yg panjang dlm blog nih...no new painting to be posted..just wanna share my thoughts..puncanya, i read ridhwan nyer entry(yo kak min bace blog awak)..hehe...and yes i think I wanna share my experience in life with other people... maybe it can somehow open up their mind..to have another perspective in life...

Alkisahnye...

Ye, saye adalah stok-stok budak architecture yg tidak dpt melayakkkan diri ke second year architecture pada tahun 2005...ye saye adalah salah seorang drpd 8 org itu..ye mule2 mmg agak keciwe, tapik skarangsaye semakin bersyukur dgn takdir yg tuhan berikan kepada saya..

Alhamdulillah...

I was lost somehow...2 years ago, I felt soo horrible..terrible..and miserable...WHY? mainly because i did not perform well in my subjects...but I never regretted it, because i tried soo hard to excel in everything I did..my first year was 'kantoi' just because of the design....my first year was very hard for me, (to learn using the scale ruler pun took a few months,hoohhoo)..I was very lost, cos i dont have any basic in technical drawing and i am a very introvert person(until now, but improve le skit i guess)...

and my second year..was the most terrible moments...sometimes, i end up crying in the middle of the night..just thinking of the bad results...and the harbour was my favourite place,giving me peace..i felt soo bad because although i tried soo hard, i still got the bad results...went to school at 8.30 am and stayed until 2pm...sampai pak guard pun dah knal kitorang...and yeah,,,that's why I felt soo dissapointed...because i cant perform well in those 2 years...

Everything that I've gone through..all the dissapointment...taught me the most important lesson..never give up...it's not the end of your life if you can't achieve something...And now, when I reflect back on my journey of life, i should thank Allah because I trust that this is the best path that has been chosen by Him for me...yeah, really coz i think, yea...i dont wanna be an architect , because that's not the thing that will make me happy....not the thing that will give me satisfaction in life....seeing other people living with it and take the profession as a way of life, make it even look more scarier and undesirable...(for me laa...not for other people, lain2 org lain assumptionla kan),and He shows me the way by giving me those tough moments...

I was wrong...initially, for choosing this carrier at the beginning...coz it is really not me..it took me 4 years to discover that,..haha..but i'm not regretting it, because i learned soo much from it...somehow,i get to know myself better ...

Soo pesanan tuk adik2 junior...of course, try your best to excel in the course....be grateful if you manage to get into second year architecture, but never regret or feel soo sad if you did not,..because there is still a long way to goo...maybe that way is not the best for you...believe,Allah knows better....

Now everything is getting better, saye berangan plak nak jadi usahawan...

and the final KAI IWI beach

2008-09-09T17:10:00.000-07:00

Salam yob dan yong sume,

..dan akhirnyer dah siap Kai Iwi beach, Wanganui nih...ehmm amik mase 3 hari jugak la,..agak challenging sbab ade kekonfiusan dr segi kaler .. rase geram jugak,susah nak figure out kaler pasir tuh but hentam sajelah..hoohoh..i choose combination of green, white and burnt umber..but i think the colour value is different from the original photo..but once again...hentam sajalah!

Kebanyakan detail adalah rekaan semata2...hoho,not truly based on original photo...kalo nak ikut btui, sbulan la baru siap...but tak kisahla kan, nature will always change...shape2 batu dan pasir bleh berubah ikut keadaan kan kan kan...

OH YE...sblum terlupe, dengan ini saye mengumumkan yg saye akan pulang (for good), balik semula ke sarang di Malaysia, Perak, Ipoh, Taman Tasek Damai.....pada 16 December 2008...bersame2 famili yg akan dtg ke sini for graduation....jika ada perubahan akan dimaklumkan hehe...

Soalan cepumas:Kenapa tak amik honours?
Jawapannyer:...jeng jeng jeng....JEMU DAH duk sini...tau tak? jemu laaa.....:P

-wuuhuhu...bilik daku dah tak muat nak gantunglukisan nih...

Sila berikan komen anda untuk memperbaiki lukisan ini...segala condemn dan komen sgt dialu2kan... :)

BabAI wELLY

2008-08-29T03:09:00.000-07:00

Salam everybody,

Ok, dah tukar skit kaler biru langit tuh..actually, gamba tgh tuh kureng dramatik kan...kan kan??kurang cahaya matahari and shadows..dont know why, tapik mmg bile wat painting nih tak tengok sgt kat gamba sebenar..buat suke2 ati jer..hhaaha..takpela nanti bile rajin bleh make up skit painting nih...below are the pictures taken on the latest paintings using my own camera..(yg dulu tuh gune camera jenny).So the resolutions are quite different.

Trase cam dua lukisan nih jauh berbeza..hehe...

Anyway, forget bout them for a while...

Esok pi trip ke Wanganui...2 hari satu mlm..yeay!!!..kluar lagi dari Welly...trase happie lak bile dah dekat saat2 nak pegi nih..hopefully,trip nih bleh mengubat kegilaaan dan kerisauan esemen yg terbaru... i need to recharge my soul and my energy..,saye bleh menjadi kureng betul bile tak sibuk,dan akan menjadi tersangat tak betul bile sibuk buat mende yg saye tak suke. Kesimpulannye, saye suke menjadi org yg sibuk, tetapi sibuk membuat sesuatu yg disukai..as busy as a bee

Ade bnyk pictures in my collection, thanx a lot to eka..really appreciate it..the photos bleh digunakan untuk my next painting...Saye harus melukis selalu because like I said before, I choose painting to be my emotional therapy...sronok bile tgk hasil jika menjadi,satu kepuasan..lebih puas lagi bile ade org appreciate lukisan saye..dan lagik sronok bile ade yg beli..hehe..mate duitan :P

Kepada kawan2 yg mahu membuat tempahan (ececehh)..hehe., terlebih dahulu saye nak maklumkan, saye x suke dan tak mahir buat straight line pakai berus, dan saye tak mahu buat potret ye..sbab melukis potret need perfection, huhuh...ade certain people i really cant draw...i saw waze's drawing in deviantart...awesome beb! Pernah suatu mase dulu, mase kat mrsm jasin,cikgu bahase inggeris suruh lukis muke2 diorang atas t-shirt for english camp..ade 10 orang kut,.around that..hhaaaha..ape lagik, trase cam karikatur lak buat muke2 diorang nih..tapik ade le beberape org yg jadik...yg lain tuh muke x menjadi walaupun dah betulkan bnyk kali..especially kalo muke org tuh bulat..mak aii...susah juge lukis org berwajah bulat nih

my specialty hanya pade colours and organic shapes..saye bnyk tertumpu pade landscape mountain and the sea...animals pun bleh...yg penting gamba mesti precise and clear...kalau nak abstract painting, i need to negotiate with u further...ehhe (bknnyer ape takut kang tak jdik la plak)

-Nota penting: ini hanye pada those yg betul betul betul berminat sahaja...

Trase nak lukis burung plak..hehe...

Menanti Ramadhan, mengharap hikmat dan kemanisannya..selamat berpuase semua:)

CASTLEPOINT

2008-08-26T23:51:00.000-07:00

Took around 8 hours to finish...

Hoooohhooo....nape rase cam tak suke je paint kali nih? something wrong somewhere aaa..yg background sunset tuh rase cam ok..but yg kat tgh tuh...cam tak cukup naik...maybe yg tiang2 kayu tuh kut....cam kurang kontras...hahaa..keje org pemalas...sgt x suke wat straight line gune berus

kalo ikut original photo, langit xde awan,..tapik dlm painting nih terpakse letak awan sebab kalo tak nanti nampak kosong sangat...beburung tuh pun hanyalah rekaan semata2...nmpk katun pun ade..hhahaa

haaa..i know what's wrongg....tak cukup subjek kut,..too simple maybe???ehmm...ke kurang precision??....ke aku sorang je yg trase ni?..korang rase pe??

ehmm.....

takmo la wat biri-biri

2008-08-25T14:58:00.000-07:00

xde idea camne nak wat layout tuk biri2 tuh...so, i'll keep it on hold,..skang focus pade yg lebih menarik perhatian saye..Castlepoint.... sumbangan krel and juga cek nash...berbanyak2 trime kaseh..sumbangan anda amat dihargai....

kedue2 gamba nih akan digabungkan...sgt suke sbab kedua2nyer agak kontras dr segi warne..

At last,..habis sudah esemen 341 construction..this time, kitorang kene wat exhibition stand for productspec...sizenyer x besar,sgt limited..3.6 m x 5 m and material chosen is timber..sronok gak wat bende nih..cam kembali ke zaman interior design 2 thun dulu..cume kali nih xde la terkontang kanting nak wat model..dah ade basic skit...so dpt la wat lasercut and gune motif yg same ngan mase esemen interior dulu...koru nz..hasilnyer seperti di berikut:...

Design concept: layering

materials: styrene, wood veneer (free dr workshop) , acrylic tube (for lighting), hardwood board, cardboard..kene spent skit la kali nih..

OK, beralih kepada lukisan saye..hehe..started to finish off the red crater painting this morning..sampai kul 3 ptg...

Kali ni gune teknik berus gigi tuk menghasilkan butil2 pasir dan batu bate yg st halus..teknik yg same dlm lukisan ikan lumba2 (refer to collection) hehe..nasib baik pengkritik tetap ala2 kudsia kahar, cik mumun suke..haha....bleh further this technique nanti kalo rajin

ape lagik ek nak lukis lpas nih??..maybe nz wilderness kut..gamba kat dlm hutan..but very intricate details la kan..cam x rajin je nak wat..huhu..bile bnyk mase terluang, rugi kalo x wat pe2..dah la thun akhir..kat mesia nanti mesti susah nak establish as an artist..brangan bleh la....tapik ambition tetap ade...

manakah ubat merawat hati ni..
adakah ianya senyuman org yg disayangi..

ilham terbaru, red crater tongariro national park..cannot upload the pictures due to internal errors...

Buat org temerloh

Actually, i called this art piece as mt tongariro bcoz this painting actually consists of the two mountains, mt ruapehu and mt ngauruhoe. The right and the left side show the surrounding on mt ruapehu n the middle part shows the view looking towards mt ngauruhoe from mt ruapehu..any comments or condemns dialu2kan...

ok, nak pi klas...chow!

the importance of innocence

2008-07-31T03:45:00.000-07:00

Hari nih nak mencemarkan blog nih ngan entry emo...I wanna voice out my opinion, which I rarely do verbally or in written form.

I've been here in nz for almost 4 years. I've learned a lot from the first day I arrived here in Wellington. The first day was not easy, we were stranded(me n cek momon) because of our hostel was still under construction and this awful situation continued for 3 months. Junior, you are lucky eh?!...we arrived at the airport on 1 a.m., and were sent to backpackers for that night. Unluckily, we got just one room left which we must shared with other two males...ehmm, but our INNOCENCE made us did the right choice. We left that room and 'merempat' secara haram in our friends' female room. For about 3 days, we were moved by admin to hotel wellington and we lived there for bout 3 months. There were lots of things happened during that time. There was one time, we were asked(or forced) to leave the hotel during weekend because there were other (important) customers need to use it. The admin organized a trip to Malborough and with full 'INNOCENCE' and tatau pe nak wat, we just agree to it. It was not that bad, but we did the sea-kayaking from island to island and mountain biking sampai tinggal nyawa2 ikan. We were so INNOCENCE we did everything that they wanted us to do.

After 3 months, we moved to southern cross apartment. The building was not yet finished on that time but the admin really want us to move in and guaranteed the safety. We believed them eventhough there was a big gigantic crane on top of our building. We lived at second floor, and the third floor was still under construction. We were so INNOCENCE or in other words stupid to just follow the instructions given. We dealed with lots of problems including leaky ceilings and ridiculuos electricity top up which costs heaps of money. Why were we just willing to accept everything and just follow? Is it INNOCENCE or STUPIDITY? Or maybe I just hate to complain?membebel kang pening JPA.This kind of innocence really create trouble for us. I hate this kind of INNOCENCE, which is just follow others and let them control you.

Now, in this final year, I'm still trying to keep some part of INNOCENCE inside myself. I'm sure some of my friends too..But this kind of INNOCENCE is not like the one I mentioned before. This INNOCENCE is to fight and stand up against all the bad influences..trying hard to be pure and to have a good heart. I can see some of my friends are struggling and some are quite strong especially in faith. I pray n hope that for those who are struggling, please come back, keep and love your INNOCENCE.

2008-07-29T22:54:00.001-07:00

pagi ni pah dah balik...take care pah,gonna remember u always..bkn senang aku nak ingat org tau..hehe..

the photos are quite yellowish sbab seperti biase, hujan yg turun dan tiade matahari menyebabkan terpakse bukak lampu fluorescent bulat atas siling..painting kali ni agak complicated skit sbab combine three different pictures but actually, gambar nih ade kesinambungan yg x ketara...(agak tersirat)..heheh..anyway, the photos are not that boring, sronok gak gune kaler merah n biru..

Pakcik Lee Mather menyatakan keminatannyer terhadap karya2 saye...dier agak berpuas hati ngan karya yg lepas dan minta saye memberitahu kepadenyer jika ada lagi lukisan gunung-ganang untuk dijual...ehhe..sronoknyer bile ade org hargai karye saye..time kaseh..

nota kaki: melukis pun melukis gak...jgn lupe blaja yer -mak pesan

AND also the other one goes...

2008-07-28T23:52:00.000-07:00

My pray...

2008-07-28T02:43:00.000-07:00

Hold ur hands and share the pain,
My pray will always be with u...

Windy welly...sgt sejuk dan berangin, seberat2 aku nih kene tolak gak dek angin..huhu,nasib baik still kukuh memijak bumi..kalo x mesti dah dilanggar kete..hohohh..disebabkan klas lambat kul 3.30 ptg, so sempat la sambung skit2 mane yg patut...tambah pokok n tekstur salji n also background di sekeliling which is going to be black n white..saje je nak jadikan lukisan nih unik..so design lain skit dr biase..

Dsebabkan kanvas nih sgt besar, so kene la design lain skit..gune konsep framing the view, focus diberikan kepada pemandangan di tgh2 tuh..sementara bhng hitam putih adalah extension dr pemandangan di tgh2 tuh, yeah...dah 80 percent siap...cume nak kaler bhgn bawah, tambah pokok hitam putih n nak wat skit abstract (motif) design kat sekitar line framing tuh..hehhe..

rase sayang nak jual lukisan nih..huhu..rase nak bwk balik mesia je....huuhu

2008-07-21T03:38:00.000-07:00

Close to my heart,...reunion 2007....membelek2 kembali gambar kawen ngah hujung thun lpas..shot yg cantik..the smile and the atmosphere can still be remembered..
Missing in action...our beloved father ngan youngest brother...i wish i can paint their smile on canvas..but of course i'm not good enough for that..xpe, paint dlm hati sudaa..

And memandangkan thun nih final (insyaallah, i hope), dah start bwk kamera pi skolah..adei,mat saleh pun prasan gelagat kitorang..tapi xde la peghak sangat nak amik gambar..:) , sikit2 suda

yEAY...hopefully, everything will go smoothly...I pray that my family and also my friends will always have the smile....be strong ek pade sape2 yg ter'lama' kat sini...ade hikmah, everyone have their own destiny..:)

Dah da...sambung wat construction..

'peace'...

2008-07-17T23:26:00.000-07:00

Yeay..komputer kembali sihat setelah diserang spyware yg bername antivirus XP 08. Time kaseh pade cek nooozoo yg sudi memformat komputer saye..ehehe..dah bleh bukak internet balik.. Gamba mase farewell pah kat umah dier. Nasib baik pah suke potret nih..Mmg minah 'peace' btui..Hoohohoo..time nih budak2 lain tgh main cranium kat living. Kami lak amik kesempatan naik atas bersenang lenang n kasik hadiah kat pah. Husna kasik steel jewellery box with mirror yg super lovely. Hohoh...mun nyer hadiah coming soonn...ape ek budak kecik tuh nak kasi?

My obsession yg terbaru ialah buku nih..the fig tree..ahaha..buku nih cam tuk kanak2 ja...tapi i truly love it..ade bnyk fables and tales dlm buku nih. I prefer this kind of fantasy book drpd cite2 tangkap cintun atau too chicky...kalo cite antu or adventure pun suke gak.. :)

Routine kembali seperti biasa, pegi skolah n balik skolah...trase nak jln jauh2..tgk gunung, laut,rumput hijau,lalang-lalang,biri-biri, langit...huhu...xpe2..hujung tahun leh jln puas2

ok,chow!...

Idola saye..:)

2008-07-14T02:34:00.000-07:00

xde mood wat keje..materials da ade,..cume blum start wat skeletal or outline report lagik..tatau knape sem nih rase berat sgt nak wat keje..maybe need some time for warming up kut..

Hari nih bukak myarthost..trase nak tgk karya abg lat yg sgt2 mengagumkan tuh..i wish i could have done the same thing..Abg lat or abdul latif maulan nih membesar dan tinggal di kawasan kampung, skarang dah jadik full-time artist..sgt berbakat dan berpeluang belajar ngan pak cik pelukis yg hebat2....dulu beliau suke lukis droplets..so,lukisan bunga beliau ade bnyk droplets..looks soo real.. kalo nak tau lebey lanjut sile ke link sebelah kanan...antara karya2 beliau:

Mostly, semua lukisan2 beliau dpt dijual dgn harge tinggi..di dlm dan luar negara...amazing kan..talented person like him is satu dlm sejuta..lukisan beliau semuanye berdasarkan realism..mmg sgt2 real...lukisan di atas nih pun sebenarnyer memberi impact to myself. Cuti summer harituh, hahhaa...curi2 amik kain pelikat abah, gantung kat kerusi,pastuh letak semerit dan perhiasan hantaran kat depan...dan mula melukis...hehe..sayang x save gamba tuk lukisan tuh...tatau ape mak dah wat ngan lukisan tuh..ahhaaah...but not as cool as above la kan...for sure laa...Dan antara yg latest adalah gamba di bwh nih..tribute khas tuk sharlinie...dipersembahkan dlm bentuk puzzle..diiringi doa dan pengharapan supaya budak ni dpt dijumpai..really2 love this picture..that's why artist cam latif maulan nih agak important gak tuk memberi mesej pada masyarakat..Sama mcm gamba ketiga dr atas..pakcik yg baring atas lantai tuh..kalo kat wellington nih ade blanketman...mesej2 kemanusiaan mcm nih penting tuk membuat manusia berfikir dan bersyukur atas kurniaan tuhan...

sgt berharap dpt dtg to his next exhibition tuk tgk secara dekat karya2 nih...sape2 yg teringin nak tgk semua lukisan beliau,silalah jadik member myarthost...asyik nak memuji dan melopong bile tgk sume lukisan beliau..caye jgn x caye

sekian tuk kali nih...chow!

inner me..

2008-07-12T14:50:00.000-07:00

Emotion comes over me today,..

For Special Someone...

2008-07-07T04:13:00.000-07:00

I did a painting this past two days.. BUT not a landscape painting. The painting is dedicated to a special someone. The one who plays an important part in my life. The one who always makes me comfortable most of the time..But this special someone, is not to be revealed yet...hohoho..ape2 pon, i'll still show the painting sooner or later..i guess..

Dan akhirnya klas sudah bermula. Still feel anxious of what coming next. Ape2 pon I'm lucky to still have friends in the same class.

Farah dah tanye keje kat library..Should I look for a job too?..ehmm,bile dah lame menganggur rase sgt berat nak kerja semula..I've becoming more demanding,..hohho..xmo la cleaner..hhuhu..

my hiistory of work..housekeeper hotel wellington, fruit pickers n packers(hamilton-berry), fruit packers( roxburgh-apricots), cleaner farmers, waitress hicom-zaman auntie muss, babysitter ( not for long), henna designer(with fareena), hohoho..n ape2 ntah one off job...rase cam dah malas nak start cari keje...or should i just enjoyed my another 6 months student life?n continue to become a part time artist with unpredictable n fluctuated income? huhu..

enough membebel, esok ade klas construction..suke suke..ade ramai kawan...

Felling GRAteful...

2008-07-05T03:56:00.000-07:00

For having a chance to be in here,

For having a chance to observe this wonderful world closely,

For having gone through all the obstacles till today,

For having an inner strength to be myself.....

Feeling soo grateful..to have great family n also proud because i'm still the the same person as before.....(improve skit kut muahaha) ..maybe jugak because of my low social skills membuatkan daku kurang terpengaruh ngan bende2 pelik kat negara org nih...

Anyway, kelas dah nak menjelang..feeling nothing..another 2 subjects to go..n still have two empty canvas in the room...nak wat ke x nak?..huhu..maybe i'll try to paint this one..the snow fields at mt ruapehu..

Looks complicated heh?..

THe end of BERSATU GAMES..

2008-07-02T19:38:00.000-07:00

ehe...habih dah,segala kekalutan dah berakhir.....during the dinner,I spent most of the time with kakak2 medic...hehe..walaupun kami semua tak plan pun nak dtg, esp me ,kak zen n kak nuha..demi membantu budak2 committe wmso n also auntie ros,kami dtg jugak...hahah..actually, the night is not that bad (exception to the food-xmo komen bnyk2)...bkn senang nak organise mende2 besar nih,..kene ade perpaduan n tolak ansur n persefahaman...hopefully this event akan memberi pengajaran tuk mase hadapan... budak2 baru still have long journey to go,they have lots of time to improve themselves.

During bersatu games, mcm2 mende jadik...xmo ulas panjang..tapik agak menyesal ngan diri sendiri sbab jadik kalut n blur..haha...i love the first day,which is during netball match..walaupun hujan lebattt n angain kencang, kami tetap teguh menjadi pak pacak di tepi court to assist the games, n mungkin jugak sbab i love netball....

Ok, hidup kembali seperti biase,...i wanna start to sell some of the paintings..sbab dah bnyk ngat kat dlm bilik...this is the the complete version of welly at night..cume tak sign je lagik...line framing warne putih dah dihilangkan sbab rase cam annoying plak mende tuh..hehe

Tak plan lagi nak lukis ape lpas nih..maybe patut susun jadual tuk next sem..woohhooo..final year n the last trimester...muahahaha...x caye..adeh!TUA DAH AKU NIH!

New dAY...

2008-06-24T22:36:00.000-07:00

tHE CONTINUation of Wellington at night....

MOstly done...cume nak baiki line framing warne putih tu..make it more precise

And hari nih tibe2 rajin masak muffin...tapik jadik muffin gergasi...muahahaha,buruk gilewr

And in conjunction of bersatu games sabtu nih,mesti ramai bebudak mesia membanjiri welly....gudluck to all participants..n yeah, memandangkan daku sudah ketandusan ilham dan inspirasi untuk melukis, maka akan membantu mane2 patut :) ...(still tringin tuk kembali mlukis potrait,tapi takut nak mula..heh..)

To cek Jai alias pah

Welly at night...

2008-06-22T19:58:00.000-07:00

Salam..

aNd finally i'm back to update this blog..time2 cuti nih otak sedikit mereng...painting yg baru agak tergendala sbab saye harus bersame membantu rakan2 bermain bola jaring untuk bersatu games next week(ayat skima)..sian plak diorang x cukup partner tuk MatCh. All da best n gud luck tuk diorang...Sblum saye memaparkan painting terbaru, nih adalah gambar latest for milford sound...:)

N the latest is WELLINGTON AT NIGHT....painting kali nih bnyk cabarannyer..too much details..but i really love the colours...This photo was taken at mt vic..n absolutely stunning!

And the painting started....no progress from the beginning sbab bateri kamera sudah abis..

Sorry for the bad resolution..ehhe..hari yg hujan dan tiada matahari..gambar sgt tak menarik bila guna lampu artificial.ehmm..i'm going to take better pictures later key!

Coretan ari nih....Time cuti nih jugakla bnyk berpikir..psl mase depan..psl politik m'sia..n mcm2 lagik..yg paling bnyk of course psl my new phase of life, which is going to be next year...(klo graduate la thun nih). kEJE KEJE KEJE...aih..cam ngeri jer..scary gak bile pikir psl betapa buhsan nyer hidup bile asyik keje je...esp kalo keje tuh something yg tidak diminati....or..maybe it will turn out otherwise..,who knows??..n budak2 lain pun rupe2nyer ade aim tersendiri..they also want to pursue their interests in other fields...wah wah..degree in professional or critical course is actually hanyer sbagai penyelamat jika plan lain gagal...btul juga,i dont wanna wake up every day thinking- alahai, buhsannyer kene keje ari nih....it should be otherwise, wah! x sabanyer nak gi keje!..

Ok la...still have a long way to go...chaiyyok min..!salam..

MilforD sOUnd terletak di South Island New Zealand...Tempat nih agak famous..org kate cantik...i dont really know coz i've never been there...but i like the view, based on the photos taken by other people..Milford Sound is known as the wettest place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world-wikipedia.

This time, i want to acknowledge the one who contributes the photo..kak wani..time kaseh!

Salam...:)

The Final..

2008-06-12T22:37:00.001-07:00

It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
-Vincent Van Gogh-

I'm not one of his secret admirer but I'm kinda love this quotation. By having surrounded by nature, i'm sure every human being on the earth, have their own personal emotions towards the beauty of nature. Some people, will just ignore the feelings, some will appreciate but not really think deeply bout it, some will really enjoy the nature but dont really care for it..some will appreciate n try to share with other people their feelings..x kisah ahh..yg penting sume org syang alam sekitar kite...

Ok, enough membebel....dah siap daa Moeraki Boulders....another nz landscape painting i did in 3 days (with the existence of daylight, luckily it was sunny).

Dgn ini saya patut keluar bercanda sebelum memulakan apa2 karya terbaru..penat deh 3 hari duk umah..

Salam...:)

Moeraki Boulders...

2008-06-11T23:08:00.000-07:00

Moeraki BOulders,south island nz...adalah sejenis batuan (sediment) yg tak lekang dek panas, tak terhapus dek lapisan ombak...sea mud yang dilapisi lapisan calcium n carbonates nih berbentuk bulat dan sgt comel jika diperhatikan. Wonder...knape bentuk bulat?

Some info from web:

Scattered along the beach at Moeraki which is some 40 kilometers south of Oamaru, the boulders are a popular visitor attraction.The soft mudstone containing the boulders was raised from the sea bed around 15 million years ago and sea erosion of the cliff is exposing the erosion-resistant boulders. Crystallization of calcium and carbonates around charged particles in muddy undersea sediments gradually formed the boulders in a process taking as long as four million years.

Heh..saya suka batu2 comel nih...Dan saya pun bermulalah melukis....

Dah agak lame x lukis laut..so, sgt berpuas hati dan agak gembira ngan hasil kali ni..insyaallah,esok boleh siap..kalo x pi mane2 la..:) Ape2 komen sgt dialukan2..mane tau sempat baiki mane3 yg patut..

ok..daaa..to be continued!
Sronoknyer cutii..........:)

Hari baru...

2008-06-10T00:06:00.000-07:00

yeahh!!!..boleh berguling3 sebab exam sudah habis..structure yg mmg best skali.!.hehe, 1 bulan cuti...:) sronok sronok..

Hari ni hari spring cleaning,..susunan perabot ditukar, kemas ape2 yg patut tuk cuti yg dah tiba..just wanna to relax this semester...sambil mencari rezeki skit2..heh

Anyway, blog ni juga telah diupdatekan layout nyer..supaye lebih nature n ceria..i did it for myself actually,xde la buhsan menatap blog nih...

Ok,selepas ini saye akan kembali aktif..salam..:)

Mt Sefton...

2008-06-02T19:30:00.000-07:00

Firstly nak mention yg the mountain featured in this painting is Mt Sefton at Mt Cook National Park..hehe,ingatkan mt cook..or is it part of mt cook??ehm..i'm not sure actually...pepe2 pon dah habiss.....yeay..skarang dah ada 2 set of mountains in my room...terasa lebih ceriaa..walaupun x pernah pergi tempat ni..but really hope hujung tahun ni bleh jumpa mountain2 sebegini.

Teringat masa fruit picking dulu kat roxburgh, hanisah bawa pi jalan2 kat hujung south island, -dunedin, invercargill, gore, alexandra, cromwell dan lain2...the scenery is soooo wonderfull....tu baru jalan sikit..belum jejak west coast lagi...huhuh..sememangnyer nz sangat cantek....

I'm soo grateful for this gift..my ability to paint is actually nurtured since i was a child..kecik2 masa tadika cikgu dah suruh masuk pertandingan melukis...lukis sawah padi n ada pondok..tapi bile menang tak mau naik pentas amik hadiah,sampai diorang turun pentas kasik hadiah,,..eehe..emo seh masa kecik.....

anyway, being a self taught artist nih agak susah, i dont even know how to use palette knife,(till now), n ape mende gesso tuh..try beli majalah for artist, pun tak paham..haa..so just hentam sajala...but at least i got something beneficial to do..which makes me different with others..i will continue to learn till i got the right skill...

Hope i can maintain my passion, together with my study...i dont want to let it go away, cause i did it before and i regret it till now....

Mt Cook in progress...

2008-06-01T23:07:00.000-07:00

Hari ni hujan...ketiadaaan sinar matahari menyukarkan proses pengecatan...hehe,ehm,.anyway,here is the progress of Mt Cook

soory gambar sedikit gelap...but,frankly,Too muchhh detailss...huhuuhkk..rase nak guling2 lukis mende nih...mmg menguji kesabaran betul...hopefully dapat habiskan painting nih esok..boleh boleh..this painting will be the last one for the meantime...

perjuangan masih belum selesai, kene start focus for structure exam lepas nih...exam 10 hb,hehe,akan kembali berkarya dgn aktifnye selepas exam..

ok,akan kembali esok dgn the final product..hopefully ada matahari esok.....:)

And for today....yeah, is the last structure class for this semester..huhu,suka andrew charleson...really amazed with his way of teaching, so precisely and systematically and philosophically..that's pakcik andrew :)

Winter holiday is coming soon..since i can't travel anywhere this winter because nak jimat(budgeting for the future)..hehe..i decided to paint lots n lots of nz landscape n for this new project, i wanna focus on the detail...same like the previous mt tongariro,..fuh..azam yg sukar,kene penuh keazaman...i'm not that kind of person actually,,..so,to produce such kind of painting really demands me to nurture my patience...huh,who know,i will become the coolest person ever after finishing the painting..eekk??bley ke?

Salam...i'll post the progress of the painting later...:),skarang nih...esemen due tomorrow...!!!adeh!

YeARn.........

2008-05-22T03:23:00.000-07:00

Life is getting boring these days...yearn to paint actually...tapi tiada ilham,i really need to go out from Welly someday..I should not have reacted this way,rase nak depress..nak kata work load bnyk..ehmmm..ye kot...kerja yg continuous and need patience...skit je lagi nak abiss...huhu..bak kate pijah 5thun dulu..gambatte kundasai!(dgn senyum lebar) Abih jer assignment envi science ni n exam structure...nak pi cuci mate..eheh..sronoknyer kalo dpt pi jauh2.. bile pikir2 balik,huhu..kene budget ni...

Here are the chronology:

Middle part which dah siap smalam

Second part: left hand side....

Third part: right hand side

The final product:

Actually, sunset painting nih emphasize more on the use of vibrant colours. Xde detail on the mountain..Yg detail hanya lalang and dawai di hadapan..yg amazingnya nz ni adalah lalang yg sgt cantek...

2nd series

2008-05-08T14:24:00.000-07:00

Finally I manage to complete the whole painting...The second series is smaller and is the continuation of the first series. This combination is to provide such a long panoramic view of mt tongariro...Here are the sequences and the final product.

In this painting, I focus on the details of the grass at the front and also the mountain at the back. I'm quite satisfy with it but actually there is still a room for improvement. I dont like the middle area actually..but ehm..no mood to modify it...

Whatever,,...after this got a quite 'heavy' assignment to do..maybe i'll stop to paint for a while..Thank u for viewing..anyway,kwn2 saye kim salam..cek kukko, jaja,bobo,pokcik,bounty,amos and abu

My internet was 'KONG' yesterday..Only can update this blog today..huhuhu

Firstly, apply the background colour using a big brush.Blend it smoothly. I use 4 colours, dark blue, bright blue, white and a litte bit of yellow...Paint starting from the background and continues to the front ....

YEP..finish half of it. It was kinda hard to paint the mount actually...but with patience, everything can be solved. Remember to use the smallest brush to do the detailing and create contrast as well as shadows to enhance the subject's characteristics....Ok,that's all for today....
Gonna continue when i'm free.....:)
CHOW..salam...

p/s: anyway,evrybody can leave comments on my paintings. No matter who u are...feel free to condemn my painting....hehhee

Salam,
Just bought a few canvas. Nak wat painting baru...yeyeah..Mt. Ngauruhoe, Mt Ruapehu,Lake Wakatipu and Red Rocks are some of the my favourites. For now I will focus on Mt. Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu first. These are some of the photos( credit to cek farah)...

I had done the painting of Mt. Ngauruhoe last year but i gave it to my kak long for her new house. It was one of my favourite artwork but it was not that big. So, for the new version,i'll make it bigger and maybe put some additional subjects. Therefore, for those who is reading this, could u please contribute some pictures to me..the view of Mt Ruapehu and Mt. Ngauruhoe from the Dessert Road like above....Whoknows there are some interesting characteristics in the photos. My email: imien_85@yahoo.com.

These photos are also very interesting..But need heaps of detailing...huhuh....adehh..

p/s: heran ke saye cam xde keje skkolah?heheh....relax la beb! azam thun nih:berperap dlm rumah lukis lukis lukis...pegi skolah balik skolah...huhuh

Nowhere...

Had already submited the thermal report assigment yesterday...feel relief somehow...:)

Also today,just finished the trade me auction for Waihi beach..Someone from dargaville bought the painting...yeay,duit masuk lagi...eventhough it is just for 92 dollar..(80 dollars reserve price) but it's enough to make me feel delighted. I t's good when other people appreciate your work. They can have the affordable artwork, and i can have extra money in my pocket...Best jugak jadik part time artist nih...walaupun just amateur

Nevertheless, to attract people to buy your work is not easy. One tip on how to determine the price of your artwork is that adding the cost of the canvas + how much time you spent on the painting. If you spent 6 hours ,-you can sell it for 60 dollars(minimum) .

No ideas for the new painting...I prefer NZ landscape...Should travel again one day..MaYbe this week i should start a new one....

The good old days....

HEhe...this picture reminds me of the sweet memories when I was in secondary school..(ehmm,my scarf looks weird though..haha...zaman x reti lipat tudung)..We were standing in front of our jungle mural. Cant really remember which part I did. I think I did the lake,the tapir,the snake,trees(rasenyer la,huhu) .I just love this mural because my friends (my geng) have the opportunity to contribute (almaklumle baik ngan cikgu). Cikgu Zaleha ordered us to finish it together with seniors. Of course the seniors did most of the painting but we were proud to be part of it. Sronok zmn2 buat mural nih..esp when we did it with our friends....gud luck to them,my best buddies ever.

Everyone has been separated for quite a long time...n suddenly, some of them appeared during my sister's wedding...thanx alot for coming....:)

Here it comes...

2008-04-24T20:38:00.000-07:00

Yeay...here comes the new painting. Huka Falls..one of my favourite scenery..(nape airnyer bnyk sgt????)huhu...anyway, i was lucky because on the day we went, there were lots of water drops on leaves and trees...soo stunning...

Today feel soo in mood to paint. Actually, painting is one of the theraphy to your soul.Whenever u feel lonely,or boring,or yearning to do something you cant, just cure your soul by expresses your heart and mind to canvas. U'll feel good after that...especially when looking at the result..:)

1.As usual, create the design layout. Plan where u gonna put the views in ur painting. Then,apply the background colour first. For this one, I colour the sky and trees first. Note: always try to combine one colour to the other.Ex: for sky, i choose dark blue,dark brown n dark green together with white colour. Do not just apply blue colour directly from the tube..hehe..nature never possess a single colour.

Ok....finish appyling the background colour. Now comes the most interesting part, which is the water...yeay!i tried to create texture of the water by applying a very thick white colour and then create patterns on it.Simple ....:)

Then, make the detail of the nearest trees clear. I just apply a thick colour on it. The same goes to the rocks near the falls. From the photo, try to identify the shadows and the relevant colours associated with it.

Be careful..must know the direction and the movement of water..me??..just agak2 je..

Yep...now is to create water droplets on the other side of the painiting. Apply a very crisp and bright white colour at the edge of the droplets. Use smallest brush....No other tips for this, i just follow the photos...hehe

Yeay...almost finish...took 6 hours to paint all this..(including eat,toilet+tv jap)..

The last step will be enhancing the black line framing using marker n if rajin enough,maybe put some detailing on the trees....cam malas je...huhu

Soo many thanks to this brush..the most beloved..eventhough badly injured and has to be bandaged, i just use this one only to do all the detailing.So soory for the accident my dear...huhu....

Ok...chow...assalamualaikum..:)

NEXT painting.............

2008-04-23T03:39:00.001-07:00

Huka Falls,Nz...One of my favourites...but quite challenging huh?..:)

Finally...

2008-04-22T17:16:00.000-07:00

Yup...dah siap...woohaa..maybe sizenyer yg agak kecik membuatkan ia senang disiapkan. I'm not really good in taking picture...ehmm but,these are the finish product.

Cik mun wonder- why did I divide the middle picture?Sebab.....this is to give more focus on the left and right picture.ye cek mun....
Ok,mlm smalam adalah mlm yg agak blank...brain fail fo function properly.Thus, i turn to something else. Saw a few chocolate wrapping...n yeah,maybe i can create sth with this.Ok mlm smalam adalah mlm experiment with bronze and copper metallic colour. Muahhaha...hasilnyer adalah seperti berikut:

Title-the autumn leaves

Besides them, i also put some pictures of my previous painting for this year.

Title= yeallow daffodil
Title=night at harbour...

Why am i soo rajin to do all this? Maybe because i feel good waking up everyday with soo many colours in my room...:)

Ok,chow!

Salam

Day 2-Waihi Beach

2008-04-20T23:31:00.000-07:00

DaY 2-don't really have the mood to do assignment. So I spent the day mostly to do the painting. Ok..now we do it step by step. Here comes the most crucial part.
Part 1: Paint the background. Start with the sky,then the sea n then the sand beaches. To get the desired colour like below,blend the dark blue hue, green,burnt umber and a little bit of black colour(dont use a lot, or else ur paint will become dull). Apply together with white colour to get the most suitable tone. Use ur fingertip to blend it smoothly.

Ok..now,it's time to paint the waves. Apply a thick layer of white colour and create the waves texture on top of it. Use a very small brush to get a very fine pattern.
Ok..finish one side of the canvas. Now, move to the right side. Start with the first step,same like before and apply the waves delicately.

For the middle part, I chose a quite flat but very distinctive view compare with above. It shows a few trees lying on the sand beaches with various natural colour.

The sand pattern were applied to both sides (make it quite abstract).

Yeah, almost finish. The last step will be enhancing the framing of the views by using black marker. Adooi..kene pi beli..dah habih ink..hehhe

Ok...that's all for today.Will post a new picture of the finish product later:)

Day 1-Waihi Beach

2008-04-19T23:33:00.000-07:00

Initially,planning is the utmost important. For this painting, i will create a few fragmentation of Waihi beach. There are three different views at different time and different locations. The beautiful sand pattern in the photo above will be the additional subject in this painting.

Step 1: dIVIDE the canvas into a few segments.

Step 2: start with the sand pattern at the edge. Use white and black colour. Blend the colour smoothly. LET IT DRY. This will be the base colour.Tomorrow baru bleh sambung....muahaha

The sand pattern blum muncul kerana cat acrylic perlu btui2 kering. Esok baru leh apply layer baru.

Step 3: Start paint the background first. KEPPOLAN awan berkepul2 diwarnakan dan diblendkan dgn secukup rase.

OK...hari sudah mlm....xleh continue sbab lighting x bagus. Anyway, my words for today: Lukisan ni adalah combination dari your observation,mind, and especially ur heart.Nobody can stop u or membebel on what u're doing because art nih sgtle bebas. Never restrict urself or feel takut nak express ur ideas. Ok...that's all for today...chow!

HAri yg Sejukk..!!

2008-04-19T17:12:00.001-07:00

Hari yg tersangat sejuk..anyway,still have works to do. Terpakse la bangun n buat thermal simulation report 30 pages. Walauapepun,plan for the next painting sudah ade. Gambar2 di bwh adalah hasil dr trip jaulah ke Bay of Plenty. Waihi beach is located in Bay of Plenty,near to our accommodation,the Great Lake kat Waihi.Jalan je xsampai 5 minit blakang cabin dah jumpe beach nih. Such an amazing scenery. Kebetulan pagi tuh ade sinaran matahari.Gambar2 di bawah akan dimuatkan di dlm next painting dlm bentuk fragmentation. Hopefully,this time I can make the reflection as real as possible. Cam susah but practice makes perfect:)

Wonder how?..huhu...insyaallah,after i done half the report and got mood (utmost important) to do, I 'll start to paint it. Anyway,thanx for kanak2 yg involve dlm trip nih...such an unforgettable experience...korang memang sporting!

Eventually.....

2008-04-19T01:15:00.000-07:00

Eventually,....i'm here...publishing my own blog.However,this blog is not my personal life diaries..but more to my artwork diaries. Through this blog, I will publish some of my artworks,for my personal reviews and those who are interested.

-Artist is a descriptive term applied to a person who engages in an activity deemed to be an art. An artist also may be defined unofficially, as, "a person who expresses themselves through a medium". The word also is used in a qualitative sense of, a person creative in, innovative in, or adept at, an artistic practice-WIKIPEDIA

-please note:never use wikipedia resources in essays.huuhu-

Merujuk kepada pernyataan di atas, I just wanna to reiterate-'a person who expresses themselves through a medium'. This is my aim...to put my emotion and give life into painting. I'm still learning and frankly,it's kinda hard cause i don't have any formal training.

Therefore, this blog will be the documentation of my progress. To build up the skills need lots of practice-that's what the woman in art gallery told me.

Untuk permulaan,gambar2 di bawah adalah some from my previous paintings:

-Kelvin Heights,queenstown-2007-acrylic

Dolphins-2005-oil

Beautiful sunset-after SPM-oil

Morning reflection-after SPM-oil

CApe PAlliser-2008-marker+acrylic

Sunset in peninsular-2005-oil

dAN ade bnyk lagi...upload next time yeah

Dan paintings2 selepas ini akan direkodkan progress nye..n hopefully for those yg interested in fine art and colours will enjoy this blog..

Dan dengan ini saya merasmikan blog ini.....aNarTIstSpecTRum....Saturday, 19 April 2008..9.40mlm...chow!
