Christmas Bear

This is the second bear I painted especially for the Christmas season.

This is the book that I followed step by step to paint the bear

A closer look of the Santa bear

This the draft that I painted the bear on. I think I have to practise more before really paint on a solid surface.

The section part of presents : This is the most difficult part as the area to paint is too tiny and tedious

The face area is the most satisfactory part I have painted especially the rosy cheek. My daughter like it so much!

The bottom part :I think I need to improve more of the boot part as more highlight shoud be added on

This purple present part is the part that I like the most as the shading part is just nice to show out a present

The rosy cheek bear looked so cute and adorable

The is the first part I completed as I took me two sessions for the whole picture

A simple stencil word to brighten up an old flower pot

Before : Old and dirty flower pot

Signboard

A good way to recycle an old board, think twice before throw it away. I am just starting to explore the world of word stencil. Any surface( even with stain) can be used as a practice base. No base preparation is required.

Is it a good idea to recycle a board.

Different way to hang the board around the garden

After : A good way as a practice board for stencil work. A simple folk art is added to decorate the stencil work.

Before : Just an old and broken board, actually it was the back of the board. Thinking of throwing it away when looking at the stain line.

Decoration

Guess what is this ? The person who guess it right will get one of it for free.
