This piece is for Art Blocks for Ghana.

Below are photos of the finial version with little crystals added.

Below is the work-in-progress photos of this piece. The painting is painted with watercolor. I use acrylic, and silver Designer Gouache to create the bumpy thick snow texture.

"The Lovers" aren't the most creative title ... but ... I can't come up with other title ... I have been calling this painting - "Anakin and Padme" in my head ... OK Confession time ... This is a Star Wars Fan Art for an up-coming holiday show at work. HE! HE!! If you look closely ... that's Anakin's lightsaber on his belt.

Top two are drawings from yesterday's Sketchcrawl.

Below are more work-in-progress of the painting. Right now I putting on the final decorative touch. I also take a picture of my painting materials and tools for this painting. A few friends have been asking about the materials and tools set I used, so here is a picture of my color palette and brushes.

This piece is painted with watercolor and silver & gold gouaches for the decorative element.

This is a work-in-progress of a big painting ... it's not exactly "HUGE", but it's a larger scale then my usual painting. It's 16.8" x 28" I am also trying a different style. It may take me a little more time before I can finish this piece ...

Sketches from the previous posting, and I add a little clover on the side of the frame.

This paining is watercolor on Ampersand Aquabord Wood Panel. This is the first time I try watercolor on an Aquabord. It's an interesting experience, while I can't say the result is bad, but somehow, it doesn't quite feel like watercolor on paper either. Color seems to appear more intense with stronger contrast ... in a way, it's harder to achieve subtlety. Also the clay surface absorb water a bit differently from paper, it's harder to achieve the spontaneous watermark on it then paper.
