Creating art with great inventions!
(Material: watercolor)
As Illustration Friday’s theme this week is “Invention”, I quickly knew what to draw. These inventions (sewing machine, pigments, computer, printer, canvas, brush, pen, pencil, etc) has helped me realised what I have in my head. There’s just no shortage of inventions to help my creative juices flow from mind to pen to paper, to brush to canvas – or should I say, to keyboard to screen!
I drew this using watercolor on acid-free watercolor paper and later scanned it into photoshop to put photos of my son, his painting (upper right) and my painting (middle) using masking effect.

Love the warm colors and the texture of the paper. I also love your son’s artwork. I still have my kids’ early drawings, they look very similar.

Saya pun suka menjahit bahan kreatif juga seperti quilting…
Syuq
Dan rupanya K.Em juga pandai dalam aktiviti macam tu 🙂
Syuq
Patutlah saya minat dengan K.Em hehehe
Syuq
Dari post terawal K.Em ni, saya nak cuba jejak.. agaknya K.Em ada hobi lain yang sama macam saya tak?
Syuq
Mungkin mengait? atau cross stich? atau mendaki gunung? atau membaca buku?
Syuq
