Acrylic Painting - Sultan Abdul Samad Building

Acrylic Painting - Sultan Abdul Samad Building

I have completed basic drawing techniques in MIA & basic colouring skills. 

Now, Miss Sia gave us a list of themes that we will be completing throughout our lesson. It includes: Building, Portrait, Abstract, Garden and many more.

Without knowing the difficulties, I've chosen the one I always wanted to master - Building. 

The building I picked was - Sultan Abdul Samad Building

(This is not the original picture, was taken from here)

I must say, the picture I chose to paint looks easy but in fact, was a lot more challenging!

Let me tell you why.

First, the picture was taken from bottom,

Secondly, it was taken from the side of building.

Thirdly, it has so many different lines and designs on the building, which is the one that makes it unique.

When it comes to drawing, it has 3 angle to focus at.

To draw this, I had to join all the slanting lines into 3 points at the original picture. Then at my drawing pad, I put 3 dots and draw lines. 

It took me 2 hours to complete the drawing. I was damn exhausted after the class. 

Well, thanks to Miss Sia, I've managed to complete the art in 3 weeks:

There are leftover paints and I thought it was quite wasted to dump it. So I decided to paint at the other half of page freely: 

The amazing effect I created without expectations and intentions:

Enjoy!
