painting a nude
so i started off by drawing roughly using the charcoal but i stopped and switched to the brush as i felt somewhat confined by the dark lines of the charcoal
i finished the rest of the drawing by using turpentine and burnt sienna
i began to fill up the background to get rid of the white of the canvas
adding colours gradually..
here, i found myself stunted and worried as i didn't know what to do because of my lack of knowledge of painting... so i went back to charcoal
the charcoal saved me and got me hopes up^_^
this was a great learning experience and i hope to get better and better..

alleyway at night
i had never done a city scene before and never really thought about doing them.. but looking at paintings by august macke got me interested
next i thought about adding colours. when i applied that lemon yellow i thought i would go with it and maybe some red to give it a fauve look. but i dropped this idea as i was not confident enough to carry out this approach.
and the completed painting alleyway at night, oil on board.
