November morning practices: Birds I want to carry November morning practices: Birds
I want to carry the Inktober spirit to November, therefore I picked birds as a topic to draw 30 days continuously.

It wasn’t as easy this time around. The beginning was of course not much struggle. But the last few days I was losing interest and also got sick. I was pushing through at the end. 

Overall, I enjoyed this challenge I gave myself. I have tried different approaches to draw birds and learned quite a bit from them.🥰🥰🥰

November urban sketching is with the rehearsal of @staatsphilharmonie 

Such an amazing and immersive experience to sketch with wonderful live music. I had to put down my pen many times to listen and enjoy their music. My body swayed along with the music while I was sketching.

Thank you very much, @uskmannheim and @staatsphilharmonie !!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Some of the sketches will be exhibited at Rosengarten Mannheim, along with the Music Concert this Saturday!

I have been eyeing this “Art creation by Talens” sketchbook for quite some time. The cover is so beautiful and the paper inside is white instead of cream color!

There were not many reviews on the white paper version. Those I have found are pretty diverse, some said they are the same, some said they are totally different. I think I can only try for myself.

For ink, I think they are pretty similar. I feel like the white paper can take a little bit more ink than the cream one, just slightly. But for watercolor, sadly colors became so dull and greyish.🥹🥹🥹 For Gouache, it is as usual, perform nicely on different surfaces. The dye-based Koh-i-Noor Anilinky brilliant watercolor has no problem at all.

The white paper doesn’t take as much water as the cream one. First light wash is ok, color turns dull after drying. If your brush touches it the second time, it starts to show signs of peeling. And this is just color swatches, I haven’t paint yet.

Let’s see how it goes when I start to paint in the future. Maybe it will be better(or not😂😂😂).

Those Kaki trees are beautiful!  Apparently my raccoon side of me is suppressed by the arty side of me. I draw them instead of trying to eat them.🤣🤣🤣

Carry on with the inktober spirit, I am trying to focus on birds this month.
I started the first day on a cheap sketchbook, but I forgot the paper inside doesn’t take watercolor at all. So I went back to a better sketchbook. Therefore I had 2 pages for day 1!🙈🙈🙈

First attempt at Kalighat painting

Tiney, May 26, 2023June 27, 2023

My first attempt at Kalighat painting
(A4, Poster color , white Acrylic)

I followed the “Kalighat painting live workshop day 1” by Art Thrills Studio on Youtube.

Color is always my biggest fear in art. I don’t have proper training on it and I didn’t spend much time learning it. I was just too scared to do it. (I know! So silly!) Every time I want to put color in my drawing, my demon inside will tell me not to, because I will ruin everything and I will fail miserably. But it’s time to stop this nonsense. If I don’t start doing it, I will never get better. So here I am, facing my own weaknesses!

There are soooo many negative things I can say of this attempt, but I’m gonna keep that down this time. My goal is to keep doing it, so I am trying not to beat myself up as usual. The concept of this style(bold color block, thick outline, overlaying white) is quite similar to my style(if I have one at all). I think it turns out okay for the first time.

Looking forward to the next attempt with different media!
