Lynch</a>'s painting for a story titled "The Selfish Giant". As I have been a big fan of the illustrator for a long time, I recently decided to start making copy of his paintings. So I went to the library and borrowed a bunch of children's books he illustrated. After going through the books I couldn't help but to go to the internet to read more about him and his work. To my surprise, I actually found his blog. I am very impressed by the work he put up on his blog and the fact that he has time to blog despite the time and energy he put into his work.<br /><br />His paintings are so well thought out and detail that making this copy made me understand true artist really go the extra miles.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4757597867786302746-481505106156462426?l=jadeartz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jade Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746948554047426363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757597867786302746.post-85810499519878270212009-10-29T12:58:00.000-07:002009-10-29T13:12:29.789-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/Sun273bKW4I/AAAAAAAAAC8/7R2eyZgyaoU/s1600-h/Misty01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/Sun273bKW4I/AAAAAAAAAC8/7R2eyZgyaoU/s320/Misty01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398117136730839938" border="0" /></a><br />I found this in an old book...nah...I did it for Mel's birthday. I started out skecthing Misty, Mel's cat, in brown color pencil and later black pen. After that I thought it would be nice if I could just do some paint dripping on the image and then I went on to do more stuff on it with paints, sometimes just to cover up the part that I don't like. It was fun, more like exploring with different mediums. In the end I really hate myself for adding the paragraph at the bottom. I think it steals the mood of the image. Other than that, it was a good experiment for me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4757597867786302746-8581049951987827021?l=jadeartz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jade Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746948554047426363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757597867786302746.post-43557770019553522009-10-27T14:02:00.000-07:002009-10-27T14:06:43.989-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/Sudg0JHn3nI/AAAAAAAAAC0/KT3yckYyFBs/s1600-h/Rembrandt02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/Sudg0JHn3nI/AAAAAAAAAC0/KT3yckYyFBs/s320/Rembrandt02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397389127344184946" border="0" /></a><br />This is another Rembrandt's painting that I had copied in late July.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4757597867786302746-4355777001955352?l=jadeartz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jade Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746948554047426363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757597867786302746.post-24888041742582444222009-10-22T18:37:00.000-07:002009-10-22T18:43:17.754-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/SuEJHAsPPkI/AAAAAAAAACs/YJqPsha5ddg/s1600-h/Ernie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/SuEJHAsPPkI/AAAAAAAAACs/YJqPsha5ddg/s320/Ernie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395603844615847490" border="0" /></a><br />This is for my best friend whose best friend is Ernie.

I heard she likes drawing and messing with colors a lot so I thought I do should something to encourage her wonderful talent despite the fact that she shows great interest in singing and dancing as well. Anyway, I didn't start on doing the drawings until late June. I found an interesting English Fairy Tales titled "<a href="http://www.authorama.com/english-fairy-tales-7.html">HOW JACK WENT TO SEEK HIS FORTUNE</a>" and I thought it would be a good material for a children's book. My niece and her parents just had a trip to an Australia's farm house early this year and I am hoping the story would remind her of the animals she met there.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I had fun doing the drawings although I didn't spend a lot of time on them. One of the reasons was because I wanted to keep it simple and the other was that I needed to get them done as soon as possible. I drew 10 drawings for the story initially, thinking that the last part of the story was too complicated to draw but my second sis, Kim's asked me to draw the part and so I came out with another 5. Turn out I had more fun doing the last part!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4757597867786302746-2848410599267167294?l=jadeartz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jade Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746948554047426363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757597867786302746.post-60088122111588507072009-08-13T14:18:00.000-07:002009-08-20T17:05:33.615-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/So2VzrOSeSI/AAAAAAAAABM/m0k5Bb6v34s/s1600-h/Santore02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/So2VzrOSeSI/AAAAAAAAABM/m0k5Bb6v34s/s320/Santore02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372114645531392290" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />As you probably noticed by now that I did my master copy in a 5.5" x 8.5" sketch book. It is a Strathmore's heavy weight, watercolor sketch book. All paintings here are done in watercolor acrylic.<br /><br />I came back to Charles Santore's painting for my third master copy. I was fascinated by the red in the painting. I almost never did a painting in red color scheme and the only one that I did wasn't quite successful. This painting looks so simple with its layout and I only realized how complicated it is when I started my copy. It took me about 3 days to finish this painting in my small sketch book. I readjusted the original layout so that it fit into the sketch book. The painting was done on 6.23.09.<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4757597867786302746-6008812211158850707?l=jadeartz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jade Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746948554047426363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757597867786302746.post-65157592158445853682009-08-13T11:58:00.000-07:002009-08-13T14:14:19.965-07:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/SoSB92pbRQI/AAAAAAAAAA8/htoteuwUFEg/s1600-h/Rembrandt01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/SoSB92pbRQI/AAAAAAAAAA8/htoteuwUFEg/s320/Rembrandt01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369559555373745410" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is the second copy I did on June 15th 2009. Ever since I am out of school I haven't been able to paint people from life. I always thought about painting still life at home yet I am never motivated enough to do so. Painting from real life is definitely a good way to improve one's painting technique while training the eyes in observing the painted object or subject.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Since I am not going to set up still life at home now, I thought making a copy of a good realistic painting will help too. This second painting is a copy of Rembrandt's painting titled "Flora". Do note that even making a direct copy from the original, I stylized my painting.<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4757597867786302746-6515759215844585368?l=jadeartz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jade Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746948554047426363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757597867786302746.post-6497252487308381862009-08-05T12:04:00.000-07:002009-08-13T14:24:09.525-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/SoSEdF2-RwI/AAAAAAAAABE/Vnljtlib5TE/s1600-h/Santore01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 206px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UBTT2tNx8UY/SoSEdF2-RwI/AAAAAAAAABE/Vnljtlib5TE/s320/Santore01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369562291056297730" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />About five months after I finished my master program, the time that I painted most intensely in finishing my thesis project, I finally had the motivation to do painting again. I decided to start slow, which is to do master copy first.<br /><br />This is the first one I did, an illustration by <a href="http://www.embracingthechild.org/Asantore.htm">Charles <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Santore</span></a>, my favorite children's book painter. This is an illustration for the story "The Ox and the Frog" from Aesop's Fables. I was pretty happy with it when I finished the painting but now looking at it again, it is just <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ok</span> for a master copy. Still, it is a start.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4757597867786302746-649725248730838186?l=jadeartz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jade Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746948554047426363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757597867786302746.post-39983443077231158572009-07-31T22:17:00.000-07:002009-07-31T22:45:02.604-07:00I decided to join the crowd and start blogging. I think this act is more for myself than for others to share what I have to say. I am hoping that by having a blog now, I will have more reason to do more art works and post them online as often as I should.<br /><br />...well, we will see.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4757597867786302746-3998344307723115857?l=jadeartz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jade Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746948554047426363noreply@blogger.com0
