Has anyone seen the eclipse?
Well i did'nt coz that morning was raining and the sky was dark. Wasted the opportunity to view it. Haiz

Today school as per normal only did my first prefect duty, was posted to 1T1, and they are quite cooperative. Wore the tie for the entire day in school. Went for the health screening and it was okay. Mr Tham got angry with Perle just because of a door. A Door? Its just a door what and nothing special. He was bloody upset with Perle but i think it was just a small mistake. Walao, he go scold Perle till like WHT?! Then tell story about his niece. Blah..blah..blah. So after school met Mrs Poh about the DnT competiton. Need to design a lantern and sketch it. I must put my heart and mind into it in order to win! Lol. So i'll end here with something that you guys can learn from it.
"Adults make mistake they laugh at themselves, children make mistake they suffer a lot. Unfair? Of course it is."

Photos from Our recent Workshop, Day 1

Our plein air, outdoor painting workshop began by the shore at Pear Point. We talked about oil painting supplies, how to begin a painting on location by sketching first. Next everyone saw a quick demonstration of painting with a palette knife. Everyone found intriguing views, and created wonderful paintings.

Demonstration painting which started as a morning painting and ended as a late evening view of San Juan Valley.







The second day we tried a new technique, underpainting with colored gesso, glazes and then painting with regular opaque paint. This gives a lot of layered information quickly. Most people used black gesso, Lisa tried blue gesso. We painted overlooking San Juan Valley on this beautiful day.

Hey!!

Just a short post today. Nth much to post abt.

Today skul was fine and History was great! Mr

Rethi talked about his experience during the AYG

event that went on recently. Mr Rethi go tell story

and we continued to history. 11.45am all the prefects wen

for their lunch before the investiture rehearsal. At that

time i wanted to CONSTIPATE but i just tahan. It was

bearable and it lasted for a few minutes. Did the rehearsal,

managed to make mr leong proud. Then at the end got

briefing on groups and duties. Im in Annabel's group,

ZS also. The duties were also enlisted and proposed to the

back of hall. Amy soo sad as she needs do ushering. Haha.

Angela mentioned about "ties". Prefects are to wear their

ties from the moment they step in to school until they

leave the school. Ain't Ridiculous eh? Wearing ties

make me sweat like hell man! Expect me to wear

for 6 hours in the morning from Monday to Friday,

each month? Bullshit! But i can't change the fact,

aww.. Won't talk much, so leaving this page with a

July 18 and 19th Workshop filling up August and September Workshop Added

This coming weekend's workshop is filling up. I'm adding a second summer session August 22 and 23, as well as the September 11th and 12th dates. Workshops are open to artists of any level. I demonstrate with oil paint, though artist may work in the medium of their choice. Typically, we go out on location, often a farm followed by a shoreline. I try to pick scenic and diverse locations. There, artists will sketch and paint a completed plein air painting each day. Through out the workshop, I help each artist individually at their easel. Call me at 378 2638 or stop by Funk & Junk for more information.
