Poster paint, pencil

2005



In this piece of artwork, there are patches of colours with different patterns. These patterns were made using wooden chopstick to draw on wet poster paint. This piece of artwork is quite different from all the artworks I have done. This was considered as a daring attempt. This is because I only used sponge to dab on the fresh-the-tube poster paint and applied directly onto the drawing paper. After that, I used a wooden chopstick to create patterns on the wet paint. The final dab of coffee brown was portrayed as a house, and the pther dabs f paint represent the path back home. Each step is unique on its own, with varying patterns. I used my finger to paint the pond, to give the unfinished texture. The two ducks are complementary to the pond as the forms of the ducks are not detailed and refined. The colour of the ducks is also rather flat. To make the grass look alive, I used a comb, dip it into green poster paint and used the comb to stroke on th edrawing paper. It gave a unique effect and the tones of green varied, giving the grass its form. This artwork's simplicity is what makes it the striking one.
