Working on Elements




Making Elements surreal. Will probably integrate some of these elements into painting~

Composition 2



















Experimenting with surrealistic perspective.
Firstly, i constructed a realistic europe cityscape including various landmarks ( the lourve and effiel tower). Secondly, i cut up the landscape into small square and tried to fit them together where they seem to fit while filling up the parts that cannot be joined. Surprisingly, amongst the irrational combination of the parts, i found a shape the seemingly looks like the side profile of a woman. Thus, i worked on that i managed to integrate a figure of a flying angel in the painting, making it surrealistic.

Composition 1


 My new surrealistic composition for the Europe cityscape painting for coursework. I am not going for those extremely "fantasy" sort of surrealism, but rather, a more subtle, "dream-like" kind. What i did here was to combine element and scenes with unexpected details.

Grapes and Green

Grapes on Veins

What i am unhappy about this painting is that the colours arent intense enough and the grapes are no close together enough to look like a bunch. Well, i guess i am not so good at this style of chinese art painting whereby you are suppose to painting right on the paper in minimal strokes thus requiring really good control of brushstrokes and planning of space.


Green Flowers
    I am more comfortable with this detailed style.
