A thought to talk about

   
It has been quite busy lately, setting up a blog, Facebook page, etc, etc...
I would like to get on with my projects, however, there are a lot to learn about getting to know all the techniques and rules...

Even though I enjoy creating, especially portraits using digital medium, I am kind of into using pastels and oil paints for portrait paintings as well, but I must say it is not how it seems.  For instance, with using pastels, you need to consider the qualities of the pastels and paper you are going to use. 
It takes some time to get to know how the pastels would interact with the paper that you have chosen.  I am currently into researching best pastels known to artists, a couple of months ago, mistakenly, bought some pastels that were so affordable but it turned out every time I drew a stroke onto a paper, it just disappeared into thin air with dust flowing everywhere.

As you can see my desk holds a lot of stuff and this is part of what's on it, hope I can add some pastels soon :):):)

I painted a digital painting of Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman is one of the most successful actors from Australia, who is also married to Keith Urban and have 2 lovely daughters with him. I admire her courage to chase after her dreams to becoming a world-wide well-known actor when she was just a teenager and her dedication as a mother and wife for her children and her husband in recent years.
