This drawing that I draw from Hyde Park Rose Garden. (Black pen, Black and brown chalk, clear crayon)

the two pictures I took from St Agnes, Cornwall. I was hiking around this area, I feel this is great time for me to take a while, meanwhile, I can get a lot of research not just from London. I also like different techniques for painting that can make my imagination wild and unique. Beside this footpath, I am really appreciate the bench, because that can help people to find the best view, in case they have no patience to find it.

Sometimes, drawing can be easy, just black lines.
When I finish this painting, I feel that more like a huge fish, open their mouth without let you see their tooth.
Learning drawing skills helps me a lot for my subject research. I can describe my feeling for this object or words vividly, and explore how to create differently from others, giving people different views for this point. so that before I will start with my new project or from the beginning, I will looking for some useful drawing techniques that I can do self learning. Blind drawing that I noticed few years ago, but I didn’t know how to approach it in my search. I think consciousness takes longer.
I draw this painting using white paper, black/ white charcoal and eraser.

this is one drawing. Sunflower( brown tailor’s chalk water-soluble, black chalk)

This is dead rose I took the picture from Hyde Park Rose Garden. This is my first time use Acrylic marker to draw a painting. I feel it is really hard to use a new art tool to create a painting, but I believe this is a good way for me to learn more skills about drawing.

Those oil paintings are made of oil sticks. The inspiration I have from Cornwall when I am hiking behind the sea. From my drawing you can feel the wave is huge, and the cloud is changeable. I like to take some pictures to remember it, even if I always think that is not enough, because people living in the Internet era, people try to make things faster, we almost forgot being slow, take a seat with a pan draw something without digital equipment. I was that kind of person before, I am shy and anxious about drawing in public, one of the reasons is I was not an art student before, so I do not have such experience, however, I have big progress at last summer vacation. I joined in a drawing short course. They give me an experience which I never had. 

Those Gel printings are made with mixed media. Some colour is acrylic and gloss gel, and some are not just used for paper, so after that I am thinking about clothes. For this kind of painting, I don’t aurally use too much time to draw. The most difficult thing is you cannot imagine what is happening, as a result, I have to practice a lot, so I can make some printing looks great. On the other hand, the texture is hard to reach. I need to find different texture papers for my gel printing. The first printing is the best one to show those mixed colours, and the second one I add silk to give the unique pattern for this painting.
