(Yeah, sorry for such an interesting title.)
I just got back home after a weekend at my grandpa's house, and I am SOOO not ready to go to work tomorrow. I just can't, right now. To console myself, I'm currently watching Pewdiepie's livestream on Twitch and surfing Reddit + Tumblr. The Holy Week holiday was incredibly stressful and frantic, and I want more (of the holiday, that is). Oh well. Life.
Since it was the last day of freedom, I woke up this morning with a purpose: to take photos of my art and mom's garden while the lighting was perfect. (Note: This post will be photo-heavy.)
Got around to practicing my strokes with water brushes. I'm still not able to draw roses (ugh), but I guess they're sort of looking like flowers more, now? Hahaha. Alessia Cara for the win! I love her and her music so much. They're relatable and has clean lyrics. Also, the BEAT. Funky as hell.
This (above) is by far one of the best shots I've ever taken. I love how well the color of the flower went with the sky and everything. It was meant to be, for sure.
Quite ironic since it's Easter and the flower should be blooming. It looked like a gown though, so I took a photo.
Photo above is currently my wallpaper! Haha. It looks good on my mac with a dark themed doc and bar. I might release this as a wallpaper soon. I'll need to know how many people want it.
Nestled in between the greens, this flower has been well taken-care of. :) Just the thought puts a smile to myself.
Took these photos a few hours before lunch time using my Nikon D5100 and my aunt's memory card (forgot mine - only to find out as we were going home that I had it in my bag's secret pocket all this time).
Beautiful artwork, gorgeous dog, nice flowers... ALL with good photography too! I certainly appreciate good photos when I see them.
ReplyDeleteIs the second word in your tablet "curious"? Your photos are very nice. I like the effects that you use on each one. Thank you for sharing the camera type you use too. I like number six the best.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Roy! A lot of people have expressed their like with the flower-dress one as well, haha. Sharing IS caring.
DeleteWow, you draw like a pro! The flowers are perfect babe. Haha, had to laugh about the comment of your title. Loved it! Don't you just love the spring feeling with all those flowers, great pictures! www.sofarsosabine.com
ReplyDeleteHi! Your comment makes me so happy with my craft, haha. Yeah, I'm running out of creative titles! Haha, kidding. Yes! Aside from Autumn, Spring is my next favorite season. I love flowers in bloom! Thank you!
DeleteYou are so talented! I am amazed at what you drawn and how beautiful your words look on your free time. Your pictures are beautiful too. I love flowers at the beginning of Spring because they are a breath of fresh air for me. My favorite picture is the "gown" flower. Even though it is not blooming it is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe gown flower IS currently the crowd favorite, haha! Thank you for such warm words! I love spring as much as I love to draw. Thank you so, so much!
DeleteYour pictures look very pretty and it seems that your Easter was full of sunshine. In the UK we had one of the worst storms so far this year, with winds of over 100mph, which made Easter an "inside" holiday, hoping the windows won't shatter.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Oh dear, hopefully the weather only gets better from here. Stay safe, Joanna!
DeleteI love your Easter garden photos, they are very Pinterest-worthy! And also very apt for the spring time. My favorite is the second picture, the fuschia(?)-colored flower really stands out against the light blue of the sky. Did you use any filter for these?
ReplyDeleteHi Kat! Thank you very much! Should I take the leap and post them on there? :) That's one of my favorites too! The contrast is divine. No filter, just changed certain settings in my camera for a few of them. Thank you!
Deletewow those are really amazing shots... i think they are not just instagram worthy but more like post cards..i love the fifth photo the most
ReplyDeleteThanks Milton! :D Oh, you're giving me an idea (hint: it involves postcards, haha). Thank you so much.
DeleteI just got to know your blog now and I'm in love. You have amazing photos! And yes, it looks like flowers and even like roses! Hehehe
ReplyDeleteAwh, thank you! :D Thanks for the reassurance, haha. When I paint flowers, I never know how they're going to turn out. I usually always just let my hands do as they please. :)
DeleteAwesome shots! BTW, I noticed you have an app? Did you do it yourself? That's cool! I'm wanting to have one myself can you PM me via FB so we can discuss it. Thanks. - Sonnie
ReplyDeleteHi sir! Thank you! Yes, I have an app, but it's really quite simple to make. Unfortunately, I am swamped with work :( Thanks!
DeleteBeautiful pictures! I envy people who is really good with calligraphy! I hope I will have the time to learn how to do one.
ReplyDeleteHi! Thank you very much! You will, for sure!
DeleteI loved how you ended the post being honest. Hehehe I am like that too. Usually I have things infront of me and I keep searching them everywhere. The pictures are absolutely awesome and adorable especially the dog one. I am a big pet lover. I have 5 dogs. The painting turned out really well dear. And it looks like flowers.. Lolz.. You are amazing at photography. :-)
ReplyDelete.
Hahaha I know! It's annoying sometimes. Thank you very much! :)
DeleteI adored your Easter Photographs, especially the one with the thorns. Fascinating composition!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the amazing work, and good luck drawing roses! ^_^ (Your hand-written typography is gorgeous!)
Hello! Thank you for appreciating! :) Rose drawings still in progress! :)
DeleteYour pictures are soooooo pretty! This post is definitely an eye candy. And your artwork is amazing too. More power to you!
ReplyDeleteOh , I love these photos ! I think ,you are very talented . I believe , you've picked the perfect moment for the light settings . The photos are so bright and clear , the colours have come out very luminous , you should carry on doing exactly this . You point out all these little details so well , great job !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I wanted to start learning about watercolor too. When did you start?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I started around a year ago, it was actually unplanned since some of friends were also just starting, so I thought I'd try. Next thing I know, I've come to love it. :)
DeleteAbsolutely loved all the photos, very crisp and vivid. Nothing is a refreshing as nature indeed, eventhough we only have little pockets of it in our homes. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :D
DeleteI love the photos you included in this blog post. I especially love the flower that isn't blooming but looks like a gown (as you described it so aptly). I can almost feel the serenity in the garden just by looking at the photos you shared. I'd love to do this as well when I visit my parents in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the feeling on not wanting to go back to work after the holidays...anyway, I loved your photos, the color and the game with the focus. great work!
