Landscape Painting 風景畫隨畫

The painting was done in an art party.  Though the scene is not depicting a particular location in Hong Kong, the house is painted based on some of the still existing old village houses that can still be found in Hong Kong, mostly in the more remote parts of the New Territories.

地點是虛構！小屋卻是跟據新界買小見小的老村屋來畫的。

An afternoon well spent! The cafe has been serving Sheung Wan for sixty years! The old wooden furniture, the high ceiling and the local delicacies brought back a lot of memory! Thanks Hoi On Cafe!    紅色木卡位、高高的樓底加上海安獨有的美點，就是一個悠閒的下午!

Taking a Rest at Kowloon Park 下午小休

I happened to pass through Kowloon Park this afternoon.  Knowing that the roses are all in bloom at the Colour Garden, I went there and took a rest.  Sitting down, I noticed the visitors next to me made good sketching subject!   And here's the result of the quick sketch!

路經九龍公園玫瑰園，坐下休息時速畫身邊的遊人。

Centre Street Old Tenement Building 正街唐樓油畫

Oil painting with texture paste, foam boards and acrylic!

Day 1: Building up structure and volume with model paste and foam materials.
Day 2:  The coloring process took a whole day to finish.

Centre Street Tenement Building is an icon at the junction of Centre Street and Des Voeux Road. On the ground level there is also an old-fashioned wine seller, a gem in this part of the city.

上色用上一日。
正街與德輔道交界的地鏢唐樓。唐樓地舖是一間老酒行。每次路經必停步細看。

上環唐樓製作中！待平底槳乾後就可以上色。
