landscape sketching July 16, 2007

 

A month ago I started to revive a rather neglected medium ( my materials stashed but not forgotten) which interestingly worked out very well for capturing mangrove sceneries.
And I have also introduced basic techniques for this medium to some students in the monthly paint along sessions . This medium is very portable, not expensive and full of potential for really good looking images.
You can create a full range of tonal values just using one single stick of charcoal besides being capable of rendering unlimited line work and texture. Spontaniety and feel is as great and sensuous as pastel but at a fraction of the cost. Please have a look at the posted charcoal image and let me know how you like it.

Sunset at Sungei Buloh March 17, 2007

 

Even the birds coming to roost do not detract from the splendour of the evening sky….Evelyn

In the brilliant sky
A dark patch appears in the horizon
Rapidly growing as it approaches the Aerie
It grows to form a large canopy.
We are surrounded by the twittering of thousands of birds,
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands
Darting and swooping as they come home to roost… Evelyn
