Andy Yang | Hola Mona #959

Blitzed through these 3 minute fast poses that took forever to train to log into the muscle memory. All the information modified as they pass through the filter via the Andy Yang effects pedal lodged in the brain. All these sessions can be quite draining. It’s like a workout.

There's no turning back; it's a totally unforgiving medium. If you hesitate, it shows, sometimes making the viewer feel uncomfortable. You just have to keep going until it becomes second nature. That's the beauty of it. #WatercolorArt #ArtisticProcess #UnforgivingMedium #KeepGoin

I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share my art with all of you. It's a joy to create and connect with people through my artwork. Thank you for being a part of this journey! 🎨❤️ #Gratitude #ArtisticExpression #ShareYourArt #ArtCommunity #CreativeJourney

I couldn't resist the morning light streaming into the living room, illuminating every texture, color, stroke, and form of this artwork. The luminous quality of the Japanese colored inks enhances the effect.

Many thoughts race through my mind as I stand alone in the peaceful silence of the studio. There are days that are tougher than others, where I have flashbacks, replaying my journey thus far as an artist. It's a mixed emotion of regret and gratitude—a strange combination, I know.

Certain tasks demand a deliberate pace; each stroke, pressure, and mark must resonate with a sense of precision. There's no definitive right or wrong in these moments; it's about an instinctive connection with what feels both satisfying and fitting at that particular juncture.

After extensive contemplation and days dedicated to unlocking the puzzle I've created, sometimes, all it takes is a decisive stroke to unravel it. I ponder why artists willingly subject themselves to such torment. Once unlocked, boredom sets in, leading to pursue new problems.

Exploring intricate human relationships through a painting, I cherish the way Kremer Cremnitz White harmonizes with the R&F Turkish Umber Greenish. The pigment sticks offer a balanced malleability, reminiscent of clay.

Could someone please rescue me from this obsession with violet and lemon yellow? Lately, it has taken over my thoughts. The little bits of colors emerging, yielding to each other layer upon layer, akin to hope unfolding with the dawn of a new day, provide a reason to feel alive.

Heading into the studio was initially for a quick pickup and return home to continue work. Unexpectedly, I got absorbed in working on a painting yesterday. The allure of the violet base was too strong to resist, and before I knew it, three hours had passed. #ArtisticDistractions

Drawing with the SLDC group is consistently an amazing experience. Today, we had an outstanding male model who skillfully chose the best poses, ensuring a productive drawing session from almost any angle. #ArtisticExperience #DynamicModeling #GraphiteExperimentation

The question is….Who is not attending any Coldplay gigs in SG? 😂

I am a serial mark maker, sparing not even the easel. I’ve discovered a valuable purpose for these long-neglected Liquitex acrylic paint markers that have lingered untouched for ages. #MarkMaking #ArtDiscoveries #LiquitexMagic

Women in Venetian Pink and English Red. Never knew this would work. Rather charming and regal about this combination, I must say. I love this daring start to the New Year. Hope to share more with you all on the upcoming workshops. #lifedrawing #drawings

During my holiday in Lisbon, I discovered the ArtGraf black carbon, fashioned like a tailor’s chalk. It's an incredibly versatile and distinctive drawing material, with a unique texture compared to traditional graphite sticks. #ArtGraf #DrawingMaterial #GraphiteProducts

It becomes increasingly challenging to turn a blind eye to the global turmoil, with particular emphasis on the distressing events unfolding in Gaza. Yearning for a swift and lasting ceasefire. #HistoryOfConflict #GlobalAwareness #HopeForCeasefire

Hit the ground running. Off to life drawing sessions despite battling jet lag. Really miss these drawing sessions but it was essential to step away from it for a while. Great to start again with fresh eyes. #lifedrawing #drawing

Is anyone still here?

Check out the sizes of these drawings from last Saturday’s session. I have to thank Jane Goh for kindly offering me these amazing quality papers to draw on. Feels really good to draw on big pieces of paper.
