Anderson Bridge & Fullerton Hotel, Singapore
First of all, Happy Chinese New Year "恭喜发财，万事如意" to all my friends, collectors, fans and art lovers,
Here's my first painting for the year 2009. Actually, I started it in mid-December 2008 at my art class before the students arrive, but only completed it last week. YES! I am teaching watercolour painting now, every Saturday afternoon at the studio of Singapore Watercolour Society at Telok Kurau Studios. I currently teach four students, a new student will join in February, and that makes it five in total.
It's been a good start to the new year for me. I sold one of my plein air paintings at the Telok Kurau Studios annual exhibition just two weeks ago and am really enjoying teaching. Apart from that, it is busy busy busy attending to the two kids, especially Javier who is always actively and curiously looking for new things to do. This means I hardly have time to paint at home. So, I tried to go to my art class earlier to paint something before the students come in.
Here's the painting... Half sheet of Fabriano Artistico (approx 14" x 21"), painted in Rembrandt, Schmincke, Winsor & Newton Artist Watercolours.

Hello Marvin. I am "Eye" on Wetcanvas. I used to be in watercolor forum at WC up to 2004. Since then I have been more active in art card exchanged (small size works) projects and did not post much in watercolor forum. Today I run to my old thread and see your signature and decide to visit your blog.
Congratulations on your plein aire sale. You have grown so much artisticly. I love that plein aire and your current painting is awesome too. I love how you add your loose and colorful colors to the hard to do bridge and street details. Congratulations to having your own class. I am sure things will come rolling your way.
If you and your family are in Bangkok, pls. PM me. I'd be happy to buy you guys a cup of coffee or hot choco. for the kids and show you a good spot to do plein aire.
Come visit my blog from time to time and let's keep ourselves energized for making arts.
