Japanese dinner with Mandy aka the Boss at Yuzu at The Gardens, Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur.
The taste of the wagyu beef on the stonegrill was most memorable of the whole meal. Juicy and tender!
Sorry, Boss, could not fit your pretty face in there as you can see the food we ordered took up the whole space already!

It was an art material and book shopping day. Got myself two books on drawing and watercolour. And found myself an A3 sized portfolio bag I was looking for for quite sometime, by chance, in an art shop in KL!
On this page I decided not to redraw with black ink like I usually do but I went on to render it with watercolours over the pencil outlines.
I quite like the result of the watercolour effect without black outline.

I did some shopping on art materials recently and I got myself some books on drawing and watercolour painting, a watercolour pocket set, a water mixable oil colours set and a Moleskine pocket watercolour notebook. The desire within me has clearly told myself to pick up watercolour painting again after abandoning the skill for more than 15 to 20 over years. The only vivid memory I could recall myself painting with watercolour is when I was a primary school student. I cannot remember if I even did watercolour in college. But here I am giving a good start again. I find it very inspirational indeed to look at some of the watercolour artworks posted on ’skine.art website. It is totally motivational to me to once again rekindle the passion for painting with this medium!
Here I have done the first attempt of a watercolor painting after so many years. This piece was painted with a reference from an old building photo I took in Georgetown, Penang during my trip there recently.
Watercolour painting vs photograph.
Although what I painted may differ from the original picture from the photograph in terms of the proportion and scale I am quite happy with my attempt. Is not it a wonderful thing that with painting we are able to alter a picture by our own hand and make it unique according to our own style?
Passion for painting needs a lot of patience, I think.
