Seaside Waterfall Landscape Painting

This morning, Saturday I asked father that I want to do painting. This week we do not the home internet line, the ADSL was strucked by lightning about 2 weeks ago. However around at 10am father help me choose me landscape picture from Google search result by using his 3G Celcom USB broadband connected to his notebook.

Again he has to do the sketch work for me. I started painting the sea background, I didn't the brush strokes ups-downs and horizontally. It was a mess, father wants me to maintain only do the horizontal strokes. I continue until finish, with father do some touch-ups.

Here's the landscape photo from Google search.. Beautiful isn't it..

Mountain Peak Landscape Painting

Last Sunday, between the time of breakfast and lunch my father and I we're having some good time together. Father did not work on weekend however sometimes he went to country side to attend to his small plantation.

I asked father to help me find an object to paint. Father is a manager in an Information Technology company in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, the first thing came out from his mind to search from Google with keyword "landscape". Guess, this is the painting we chose that day, wow! this mountain peak is so beautiful in nature..


I finished the painting with the help of father. He started with doing the sketch work with pencil then I continue with painting while father guide me on the brush strokes and selection of color.

My first watercolour painting with father

Today, after looking at father and sister doing the painting, I want to give try to do it. With the guidance of father to sketch outline of the images with pencil, I start exploring the color and trying to color the painting. Many times I have to ask father what color to choose to paint the lake, the hills, the sky and the trees. With only my left hand, sometimes I ask father and sister to help me twist open the color tube that were tight. I like doing painting..
