Tree Painting

My tree painting journey was meaningful and inspiring. From the beginning I had a vision of how it will look like. What is interesting about this painting it's not from a photo but I researched few trees paintings and photos to guide me a long the way but the rest is my work. 

Having a vision of where the painting will be heading is very important. Turning from idea into reality is a long progress. Painting the grass and other parts too is not only a mixture of 2 or 3 colours, but a mixture of more than 7 colours. Every part of this painting is a mixture of more than 2-5 or more colours. 

The most challenging part is mixing colours to blend in with other colours and keeping it consistent along the way.  

Overall I am happy with the outcome of my painting.

What is happening with MZ Artwork lately?


It has been a long time I haven't posted anything. I am currently painting an abstract spring tree artwork using acrylic paint. Through out this year I have been using drawing pens to improve my illustrations in my small visual diary. I am inspired by lettering designs using drawing pens. Also I use ink and brush as well. 

So while I was on the train travelling, I was looking at lots of types of graffiti lettings and drawings. The city that I live in there are lots of graffiti everywhere and there are some really good ones and some just a quick ones. Some of them are the styles I am inspired to. In the next couple of weeks, I'll be undertaking heaps of paintings such as landscapes, sports people, seascapes etc. 

I am also involved in Scouting and there were lots of events happened and I was able to take really good photos. One of the photos I took was tomatoes and parsley. So you can have a look in my MZ Artwork page on Facebook. Click here to see the photo .

So stay tuned.
