今次畫五個招牌，第一個決定要畫嘅係大鋼刀

因為好鐘意生銹質感，好靚
絕無僅有嘅刀型招牌，好想畫！

今次畫唔發光嘅招牌，
係想配合梁添刀廠個招牌日頭樣貌
亦想挑戰畫唔發光霓虹燈招牌

由於呢個系列自己決定
要將花草植物加上去周圍地方
今次我將吊起招牌嘅鋼絲變成花草藤蔓
將金屬變做綠色，效果都幾滿意💚

今次用左之前係 
@colourexp 買既
Arches Watercolor paper 
Cold pressed , natural white 185g

靚靚水彩紙係完全唔會起粒😭
吸水力強，化色好，顯色靚、瘋狂疊色都唔會污糟，超好玩

多謝 @vanishing.hongkong 靈感來源

展覽在中環，詳細見上post 

"Disappearing Signs in Recent Years"

Painted five different signs of hongkong and the first one I decided to paint was a big steel knife. 

The rusty texture and unique shape of the knife were particularly beautiful, and it had a 40-year history in Hong Kong, unfortunately it has disappeared from the streets of Hong Kong.

I chose to paint non-illuminated signs this time because I wanted to match with the non-neon appearance of the leung Tim Knife Factory and also challenge myself to paint non-illuminated neon signs.

For this series, I decided to add flowers and plants to the surrounding areas, so I turned the steel wire that hangs the signs into vines and painted the metal green.(and I am super happy with the result)!!

On this painting, i used <Arches Watercolor paper, cold-pressed, natural white 185g> . 

This beautiful watercolor paper doesn't create any grains, and it has strong water absorption, good color blending, and brilliant colors. It's also fun to layer colors without making a mess.

Thanks to vanishing.hongkong for the inspiration!!

artworks will be exhibited in mini hotel central from 12/4-12/5 2023
