ABOUT ME: Artist. Graphic designer. Mum of twins. Entrepreneur. Part-time knitter, crafter, scrapbooker, gardener, and traveler. I enjoy documenting our life in the fast-changing pace of Shanghai living.
Before we know it, December will be upon us. So, to jumpstart my #DecemberDaily2023 project, I used my remaining Golden Week holiday to set up the foundation pages. I started yesterday and continued today by working on the cover and the first page, “My Reason Why.” Although it’s still pretty empty, it’s a step in the right direction. #wanderlust2023 Week 37 lesson with @finnabair . Using a limited palette of pigment powders, I aimed to create contrast by placing a magazine cut-out of a woman on a messy background of various textures. I found some #timholtz ephemera in my collection to add the finishing touches. I coloured it with @finnabair_studio wax paste to match the colors used in the background. 06:30 am Zhejiang Road Bridge. The bridge was quite daunting to sketch so ended up drawing with watercolour pencils before adding watercolour paint in. The second sketch was done as we sat on the bridge and feeling the vibrations every time a heavy transport would pass. Great weather this morning and a “partner in crime” in @vanishing.shanghai was a great way to start the day.
