Flamingo mingo

So, this is my Flamingo painting, which I did in Sept '07.
The reference image is from Crias at Wet Canvas *thx crias :)* What is Wet Canvas you ask ? Well, it's a very resourceful art forum where you learn and share. Come and take a look around :)

Please keep in mind, I don't have any formal art education hohoho, painting is basically one of my many hobbies

Background color's a bit grey-sih, but hey....
First , it's pink paint all the way, then 'erasing' it with white paint. *you can do dat ? dunno but I 'erase' stuff all the time*
then adding a little detail with black.

Then adding more detail, as you can see, I'm a not very descriptive *lazy*

They both look kinda the same below. ooh.. I've added some highlight on flafla's head *flafla is the flamingo's name*

Then added more detail on the feathers, and added some details on flafla's eye.

Painted the rest of the background white, and it's blue ornament thingy all around. And it's done, it's done !!!

My mom and sis kept insisting that it's not done yet, "it doesn't look done", they say, but I wanted flafla to be on a white background.

So here it is, FLAFLA :)

My Toucan Painting

Yes, I also paint *wink* This is a a colourful toucan that I did back in 1999. wattt.... dat's like almost 10 years agoo.... I'm so not productive. hikz.... will start painting again. And No... it won't be like the daily painting blog where I paint 1 painting daily, I don't think I can do dat, besides I gotta work the reverse psychology on me hoho. Anyhoo....Totally Love the beak :)

This is basically a fun painting for me, dab dab paint, choose colours, dab dab again, desserts and tea on the side.... admire from a far... stare and daydream for 45 minutes.... 2 hours TV break.... approach painting.... mmm.... stare again.... decide to continue the next day... *am so lazy*. Next day... continue painting... pick colours...dab dab paint... dab dab some more. and done :D *victory grin*

Oopss... Almost forgot, it's Acrylic on Canvas, 60cm x 50cm (24" x 20")
