Side wing of a Buddhist church
There are many interesting architectural and religious constructs inside and outside this Buddhist temple converted from a Christian church.
I was attempting to capture its entire front side, but soon realized that it won’t fit well into a square canvas.
So I ended up drawing only one side, and plan for other outside and inside views in the future.

Wild fire
Given our performance so far against the covid-19 pandemic, how would you rationally expect we can deal with environment damage and climate change?
With the current trajectory, humanity may not last beyond 100 or even 50 years.

Liquid trail animation exercises
Exercises for lesson 3; I only felt like doing one but did the second for variation.

Flower day lapse
I was planning to draw this bud every day until it completely dies off but something unexpected forced me to stop on Friday August 14 2020.

Exercises in secondary dynamic effects
These are exercises for lesson 2.
The looping wave motion is more difficult to create than I expected.
Two of the earlier mistakes include a standing wave and a “smoke” that moves up and down.
After watching a candle fire extinguished by wind, I tried to capture the essence the memory via drawing the simplest possible animation.
Without looping, it is easier to create a jumpy fire followed by a rising and distinguishing smoke.

Bud pair
This is a very quick oil painting. I plan to draw a time lapse of the flower life cycle.
