1st Night Painting

ADM Rooftop, Oil on Wood Panel, 2017

This artwork was painted from the view at ADM rooftop. To balance out the composition, the buildings with lights were placed on the left and right side of the painting. The main composition was the three different layers of the sky, the mid area (buildings, trees, lights) and the foreground of the slope at the bottom of the painting. The focus point would be around the white street light area, which may include the buildings on the left and the tree at the center. The trees and the other vegetations were in different tones. Some were in black and some were added with a hint of blue or green or yellow to give a slight variation.

2nd Still Life Painting

Oil on Wood Panel, 2017

This second still life painting is quite challenging. It was a struggle to paint the stripes of the cloth and the shadows. However, I like the overall colours selection of the items placed together. The focus point could be the green cup that was surrounded by the pink flowers. Another focus point would be the red bowl with directional lines (the strong contrast of cream and black lines) pointed towards it.
