FUGU (puffer fish)

Fugu is the most poisonous fish, and has become one of the most celebrated and notorious dishes in Japanese cuisine. One plate of raw fugu (sashimi) can cost as much as USD50.

Burano on a wooden box

Acrylic on wood and Zorro

If you like colorful city, you would love Burano in Venice. Famous for its crystal, Burano is also one of the most charming and picturesque cities in this planet. Strangely, the scene that I really wanted to paint since I visited this city 10 years ago was the laundries that hang from one balcony to another. So I put this scene on one of the side of the pencil case.

Alone and landscape painting

I've tried to do some sketching and black and white painting, but colorful paintings suit me better. This week, I am in the mood of painting trees - both on silk and paper with acrylic. One is inspired by a Vietnamese artist who's paintings have been copied extensively and sold everywhere.

Venice - acrylic exercise

The trip to Venice is only left in the memory. All photos we took from the trip was 'eaten' by virus in my computer, and eventually crashed my computer. That was the time I underestimated the power of viruses and when I had the 'it-won't-happen-to-me' attitude.

I ask the acrylic painting members in my class to do this painting after we learned a little bit about perspective. And, for this assignment, I asked them to mix the acrylic paints with water and have the watercolor effect on the painting. It was started last week, so I am looking forward to seeing others' pieces tomorrow at the class.

PS: I agree with Fabienne that the water in Venice is not all that clean, but I believe we could see some blue sky and that's why I picked blue for the water. It is a reflection of the blue sky.
