Behind The Scene - First Water Colour Painting

So, after 4 and a half years in Malaysia, I realized the colouring media I usually used was a poter colour. It's way different from water colour. Water colour dries faster and the water combination affects the change in colour, either both its better to start off with a lighter colour. Here's my first water colour painting done in 2013 on a fine Saturday in December :)

Totem Sumatera, Indonesia - Nirmana 1

Totem Indonesia

Untuk artikel ini, menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia dulu yah ~ Kebetulan saya asli Sumatera, dan mendapat kelompok membuat totem khas Sumatera. Anggota kelompok terdiri dari The Yoela Meidiana, Yohanes Jullian dan saya sendiri, Chintia. Inspirasi utama yang diambil adalah ciri khas utama yaitu Harimau Sumatera dan bunga Rafflesia.

Motif Batik Relung Paku pada Totem

Kedua inspirasi tersebut dipadu dengan salah satu motif batik Relung Paku yang juga mengandung motif bunga Rafflesia di dalamnya. Warna yang diaplikasikan pada totem berupa gradasi warna macan (oren) menjadi bunga Rafflesia (merah)

Sketsa Gagasan penambahan bunga Rafflesia

Tugas totem di setiap kelompok mengambil tema dari daerah atau pulau yang berbeda-beda di Indonesia dengan tujuan mengenal ciri khas di daerah masing-masing. :) Selain itu, di sini kami juga mempelajari bagaimana sistem "mobile art" bekerja. Tema mobile art yang kelompok kami ambil juga berkaitan dengan alam dan tema Sumatera itu sendiri.

Inspired by the death of a friend's turtoise and shape admirance of water lily's leaf, I added up lotus which symbolize how the two idea connected to each other.

"what goes round comes around". Playing with the colour from the newspaper is so much fun too, the lotus origami defines the meaning by its colour. I think it's fun how are we so capable in combining several techniques to support each other and ended up as a product.

Behind The Scene (the 6 months "holiday")

I finnished my highschool years in 2012, and was unemployed (?) for around 6 months waiting for Indonesia's syllabus in around June. During those times, I spent my whole day on the net searching for postcrossers friend across the world. Like taking it as my new hobby (but sadly I decide to retired because of the busy college life +tired as a bonus) - International postcrossing.

Handmade Postcards - Traditional Transportation in Indonesia

Got the whole idea to make something better, unique, and special by making it handmade, with love :) In addition of practicing the water colouring I've missed during highshool (I was in science class, and I took art only during the examination day). Oh my God, I missed Malaysia so much :;(
