One Summer Day

I only learnt how to paint late last year through Kate Liu's Chasing Mood in Environment Paintings at Warrior Art Camp.

Painting has taught me how to simplify the complexities in a scene, group values and compose a shot. It has made me feel a bit more courageous with colors to chase a mood and capture the light. I believe what I have learnt in painting can translate well in motion design.

Here's a scene from a street in Tokyo from an online reference. I hope to give it a Miyazaki-esque feeling, bright and youthful while incorporating colors which are not as literal to achieve color harmony.

Sunrise at Uluru

I was really fortunate to have the chance to paint Uluru from the same lookout twice. It's interesting to see that the colors over the landscape are quite similar at both times of the day and the sky colors are basically flipped.
