Paintings

Grünsee

July, 2023 Oil painting on canvas

I collected this colour from the five-lake hiking trail in Zermatt. Despite the gloomy weather and occasional drizzles, the lake appears as green as an emerald.

Current Commissions

Cherry Blossoms🌸

A large painting that would remind a friend of a spring picnic with friends under cherry blossoms.

Geneva in Four Seasons 🌱🌿 🍂 ❄️

A painting split into 4 vertical canvases, each featuring a season in Geneva. This painting is for a friend who comes from a far-away land and who is settling down in Geneva, his “second hometown”. He has generously purchased all painting material I need for this work.

Poster of Geneva

A tentative commission. A digital painting printed on A0 poster paper to decorate a couple’s dining hall. It will also feature some iconic landmarks around Geneva.

Bride by a Window

A tentative commission. A friend attended a wedding and took a lovely picture of the bride sitting by a window, her wedding dress glowing softly, lighting up her features. It would be great to have this scene preserved in watercolour.

Portrait of a young lady

A commission from @Yi ZHANG.

In Progress/What’s Next

Gold-leaves

I experimented with gold-leaves on this painting, and I loved how the golden surface glows under low light environment. However, under strong, direct day light, the background colour would emerge, making this painting appear dirty. I decide to “restore” this painting. After all, there are no “failed” paintings, just abandoned ones.

I am initiating this newsletter project to record and share my creative experience. Since this website is built with Notion and Super, I am searching for a solution that is not too painstaking to send out newsletter from Notion.
