Refurbishing an Old Clock

This is an old plain clock that I bought some years ago and I decided to paint on it. I started by sandpapering it to get rid of the old varnish and then sealed the wood with the all-purpose sealer. After that I based it with a white background colour. After 3 coatings, I start painting the pink roses and then re-varnishing it again. It turns out quite nice.

Student From Bintulu

This is a student with his son who came from Bintulu, Sarawak. Another marathon of classes over the weekend, as she had to go back the next day. It has been an honour to teach a person who comes from far to learn folk art from me and I sincerely hope she gets what she came for.

Some people really took the effort and time to seek for knowledge of their interest even though they are so far away. Where as those that are just a stone throw away really took their time to get started even though they have keen interest.

What can I say, we are all just human beings....

Scenery on a little tin can

Here are two painted tin can with scenery which I have painted for the Jabatan Alam Sekitar's event not too long ago. Something you can paint as well for gifts or to be used as a pencil holder.

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya AidilAdha to all Muslims. Our shop is open for business as usual.

Hydrangea on the tile

This is my experimentation of painting using acrylic paints on tile surface. Need to mixed the colors with glass & tile medium in order to make it stick to the surface. I also crackled the background.

Bears, Bears, Bears

One of the design that is popular among my students to paint are the two bears. Its mainly a good exercise for the stippling technique using the deerfoot brush.
