Previous home improvement projects Meter Box Cover MakeoverCorridor MakeoverFoyer Makeover My four-seater dining table is quite plain. The table is alright, but the chairs are a bit boring. The chairs are made of mango wood and have straight backs without any upholstering. Quite bare as you can see. I wanted to make them a littleContinueContinue reading “Home Improvement Project #4”

Experiments with Fluid Art
I’ve been hearing about fluid art for quite a while now. Also known as pouring art, it basically involves pouring different colored paints onto a canvas using any one of the recommended pouring techniques. The colors flow across the canvas, creating interesting patterns that result in absolutely unique and amazing paintings. You can control theContinueContinue reading “Experiments with Fluid Art”
Drawing Challenge #Day 21
So finally I reached the last challenge of the 21 Day Drawing Challenge. Okay, okay, let’s not dwell on the fact that it took me a year to complete a “21 Day” challenge. The important thing is that I’ve completed it, right? Let me just drop the “Day” aspect and say the 21st (and last)ContinueContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 21”
Drawing Challenge #Day 20
Ooooh! I haven’t posted a blog for a couple of months. In my defense, I’ve mentally written at least ten to twelve posts, including one listing all my excuses for not posting a blog for so long. It’s weird that even though I love writing, how often I can find excuses for not actually settlingContinueContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 20”
Drawing Challenge #Day 19
The 19th drawing challenge today was to take a sheet of paper and fill the entire sheet with as many different faces as we could draw. The challenge was to draw out as many diverse personalities as we could to cover the entire surface of the paper. Not necessarily human faces. We could draw aliens, monsters, or animal faces as well. The ideaContinueContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 19”
Drawing Challenge #Day 18
Cardboard doodles Day 18 of the drawing challenge was to draw a ‘cardboard doodle’. Wait, before you start googling (I did), that’s not an actual drawing term. It’s simply a term that the instructor invented for the doodles he makes on the cardboard backing of his drawing notepads. So the challenge was to draw aContinueContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 18”
Drawing Challenge #Day 17
Day 17’s drawing challenge was to make two eye drawings. First we had to draw an eye as realistically as we could. Once we had done that, we had to draw a second eye, which was as graphically simple as possible. The objective of this challenge was to explore the polar opposites of the visual solution. According to the instructor,ContinueContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 17”
Drawing Challenge #Day 16
So the original drawing challenge #16 was to draw an owl in an iconic style. I started it, but somehow never got around to completing it. I guess I found it boring and not challenging enough. Anyway, months passed, and I still hadn’t done it. I suppose I could simply have moved on to theContinueContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 16”
A Small Makeover Project
After completing a year of working from home this month, I felt that the home needed a little bit of TLC. Various nooks and corners could do with a little sprucing up. So I’ve been working on a number of small home-improvement projects the last two weeks. There were bathroom shelves to put up, paintingsContinueContinue reading “A Small Makeover Project”
Drawing Challenge #Day 15
The Day 15 Challenge was to draw four dinosaurs, a Brontosaurus, a Stegosaurus, a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Pterodactyl, but all within the limitation of three-inch square boxes. The real challenge here was to figure out how to fit their divergent shapes into one common, geometric composition — a square. I found it easiest to fit the pterodactyl into theContinueContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 15”
