Day 9/21 My first attemp-water color

I did most of my coloring in Photoshop, but I love to learn to paint with water color, I admire how people can paint especially water color, I always want to learn yet never really act on it.Everything always have it first time, now I want to start practice painting with water color and by practicing more, I hope I will gain experiences and improve the coloring skills. This exercise really push me to do what I have put off for long time..I don't think I colored this one good, (sketched and color last night) I have no clue how to control the paints, how much to mix and not knowing whether I use the right techniques? I simply bought some water color and water color paper and start blur. However, now I have a tutoring water color book, I will practice with it. (I will color this is Photoshop too, to compare with this) Feel me to comment and love to hear what I should do as a beginner.
通常我都是用Photoshop塗顏色，很少用水彩顏色上色，主要我不懂！但是很喜歡水彩畫，很羡慕懂的用水彩顏色劃畫，我之前自學的作品也不敢登上因為塗的很差!! :( 所以停了，不過参加了blog world這个21天的計劃，我要再試一試。有待進步. 多多指教!For my boy, I bought "Stone painting" books in second hand store a while ago (love shop in second hand store to search for goodies), we were doing this Stones painting on the weekend, here is one of the stone's he painted (with some help). 仔仔是獨生兒，在家時除了他爸爸我二姐三姐表姐陪他玩，其余的時候吵很悶，看电視和玩電惱game的時间很strict ，那我会找一些craft給他做，今次是看到表姐在家的stone painting craft, 我又在二手店買到這本塗石頭手藝書，再到外面找石頭回來洗乾清，給仔仔慢慢塗..他的控制手工還沒steady,到最後我捉他手塗一些地方，很快就完成啦!Added some background in the pictures to spice it up! ...

6/21days exercise

Today sketch........ wanna join 15 minutes exercise, click here for detail..."Off You Go!"

My boy being naughty yesterday, we ground him no computer game for 5 days, he was angry with us, and he drew this for me. He reversed the rule, it's us that are grounded and no computer, put a cross on us and him with check mark! After his dad had little talk with him, he is sorry. Apparently he needs to get his anger out by drawing this.

To all a Happy Spring.....(finally good weather in Calgary)..p/s:this one take more than 15 minutes.

She is my son favorites Auntie's, who give him lots of unconditional love.
One of their favorite game is playing Rodeo, my boy loves to cover her with the Blanket and ride on her, she is now a crazy horse and should go wide with blanket on her, my boy, a cowboy who ride on her back trying to settle the wide horse.. Thanks for being a great Auntie!

今天是二姐生日，也剛從KL回來，而且還帶回來好多新年goodies給我，好高興..下post再說多些..
今期IF topic 是Blanket。仔仔最愛和這二姨媽(仔仔稱她為TwoTwo)玩騎瘋狂牛，每次仔仔一定用毯蓋上二姐，再叫她好像瘋狂牛一樣跳）仔仔就馬上騎上她背後來馴服她!
在此祝二姐身體健康、事事順利，平安!

wrap me up! 把我當禮物包!

One Dinner night (weeks before Christmas), boyboy said......
BB: mommy, teacher said you don't need to buy Christmas present for yourself, family or friend will buy it for you, and keep it a secret, it will be a surprise gift. So, what do you wish to have, mommy?
Mommy: oh! isn't suppose to be a secret? If I tell you, there be no surprise!
Boyboy: it's ok, you can make a wish list!
Mommy thinking : (what a thought ! I've never minded myself nor thinking about it. Anyway I hint him, I thought he knows I love to draw lately since some days he told me to enjoy my free time drawing, I thought I mentioned water color before, he may remembered.)
Mommy: What do you think? You know what mommy like!
My boy pause and rolling his eyes balls..... Suddenly he turns to his daddy and whisper (quite loud that I can hear it):
BB: Daddy, Can you wrap me up? Because mommy love me most, she will be Very Happy when she got me as a present!
Mommy deep in thought: So loving, so real, so sweet, so ..worth it!
Indeed he is so right...what else I want most....2007年聖誕節前，正當我們吃晚餐的時候，仔仔對我說..
仔仔:"媽咪，今天老師說聖誕節自己是不用買禮物給自已的，會有人送的，別說出是什麼礼物，要保留神祕的、這才會有驚奇囉！哪！媽咪想要什麼禮物呢?"
媽咪："你不是說是祕密禮物嗎?我說了就不神祕了！"
仔仔："沒关係，你可以舉列一些想要得到東西呀！"
我倒没想到我渴望收到什麼禮物，慶祝聖誕節是因为是在西方國家的大節日，又放多天公眾假期，氣氛很濃，所以為了小孩們攪攪Party買禮物慶祝一下，也順便與家人朋友聚一聚。
既然仔仔問到，我想他大慨會知道我最近熱愛畫晝，因為很多的候他會叫我多休息去畫晝，不用陪他呢！而且我曾說過想買水彩，他可能會記得吧!
我暗示仔仔:" 你一定知道我喜歡什麼呀!"
仔仔開始思索，想了一會兒..他突然走向他爸爸小小聲說........
仔仔: "爺地，不如您把我當禮物包起來，送我給媽咪做聖誕禮物，因為媽咪最喜歡最愛我了、媽咪一定最開心了！"
我一時說不出話來.........
真感動。不枉我的用心 ，放棄工作後少了收入，左省右省，全職投入天職(母職囉!) 好值！。 甜極了！
