Both photography and painting records what's around while reflecting what's inside us. I enjoy using both mediums because of their inherent differences and similarities. The photography requires a presence of physical subject. The painting does not. Furthermore, they are different because one can capture an image instantly with some limitations of dynamic range where the painting takes time to complete but has almost infinite freedom to express any range of light and shadow simultaneously. However they also share many similar traits; in order to create powerful image or intended outcome it requires an application of knowledge of the elements and principles of art. They both beg for seeing beyond surface. That's why I love using both mediums. They compliment each other, at least in my mind.

Drawing And Painting Lesson Services - In the age of digital, I offer lessons and workshop on drawings and en plein air paintings with analogue tools ;) because there is no virtual environment that can imitate the physical feel of creating process; something akin to homemade cooking vs microwaved foods. You will be amazed to discover the importance of using a variety of your senses when you draw or paint. I specialize in en plein paintings; meaning you are out there where you want to paint. The subject can be anything as long as under the sun. My contemporary impressionism approach is achieved by placing spots of colors with a palette knife. No brushes.
