Plant in a barrel

This barrel of plant seemed intriguing so I did a quick drawing on spot followed by a more nuanced drawing from memory later.

Early morning dream

I often have very vivid and strange dreams with other-worldly sights, sounds, and feels, during which my brain seems to be in a very different mental status from being awake and capable of producing novel ideas. Which made me wonder if I have tapped only a small fraction of my mental power during consciousness.

This is a dream that I partially remembered right before waking up, and quickly drew/wrote down while it was quickly fading. I completed the paintings in the evening via iterative drawing for recall.

Mobile and physical paintings

The ability to draw on a small mobile device anytime anywhere would enable the capture of fleeting moment of impression, in addition to relying on visual memory.

I need to learn how to mix paint colors, either physically or digitally (e.g., forcing myself to use only a small number of primary colors and mix on the canvas in the hope that the digital coloring mixing model is accurate enough).

Catching the moment

Sometimes I need to draw very quickly to capture a moment of sight or mood before the memory fades. Here are two paintings of sunrise and sunset in the same day.
