My first full-color oil painting was memorable back in 2018.
After a few years of 9-to-6 office life, I found myself missing my drawing pencil. I had forgotten about what used to be my favorite hobby - sketching. So, I went for charcoal drawing class and eventually decided to learn oil painting.
As you can see in the photo, my painting is at a very beginner level. Most of the time, I enjoy the learning process and the interaction with classmates. I didn't understand contrast and color as much as I do now, and I didn't know how to handle the textured line on the ceramic pot. That was my first time painting flowers and the fabric in the background.
Overall, I feel a sense of achievement in completing this still life oil painting.

Paintings of my classmates with different style and personal taste. Some of them struggled to complete the painting and some did very well.
