Grapes and Green
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.

Purple flowers
If you are wondering what is with the purple dot at the top left hand corner, it was purely an accident -i left a wet brush near my paper.
However, unlike painting on paper or canvas whereby we can try to hide these "flaws" by painting over it with white paint. It doesnt work for these thin chinese rice paper as further application of paint will simply cause the paper to break.

Chinese Painting on food
Cabbage and Tomatoes
Sometimes, I feel the need to depict these simple things in life as these things are many a times the ones that bring us pure happinesses and contentment.

Chinese Ink Paintings
These are some Chinese Ink Paintings I did in the past.
Painting of crows perched on a cherry blossom tree:
I used a graduated filter to create the illusion of a blue sky in the background that is originally not painted. This adds a tiny modern twist to the traditional chinese painting.
Painting of mountainous landscape:
I experimented with an different shades of green to paint the mountains. Although, the degree of saturation is unnatural, it adds a magical and whimsical feel to the painting, making the scene seems like a place out of earth.
Painting of a snow mountain:
I choose a icy pale palette to bring across the idea of a lonely, isolated, cold winter night. However, I deliberately added a little red house at the top of the mountain to suggest that life and warmth is present even in a desolate place like this, which sets as a contrast to the whole image.
