Life in Taiwan is like a jam now.

Nobody would say the living in Taipei is boring. The life here is full of jams. I have tried to figure it out I really feel to every thing, and I found that it is difficult not to be interrupted by the circumstances.
Everyday I learn yoga, no matter Yinyoga or Hotyoga, not only the reason for my health, (I know what I said has been talked by everone, yet I still want to say it again,because it would make me feel better.) but also to have a strong figure for fighting against the circumstances and to protect the things I like. Now I know why the Americans are always addicted to sports a
lot,because it is the most direct thing to protect the things from your enemies.This is really important in Taiwan. What is important in Taiwan actually? I would say, the most important thing in Taiwan now is to speak out loud of what you think instinctively,at this moment you will need to have a strong muscle of body. We are still very rough in our living place actually, no culture could protect us from our neigthbors, the situation is different from Japan and China.

Textiles-patterns I painted for my favorite linens

Today we were painting the textile patterns. Those are my favorite styles, with roses and curved lines and spots and stripes.

I was glad, when Fion said,"today we will paint some textile-patchwork. " because I have studied 5 years for fashion design. Of course, of course, it would be easy for me,ne@V@!YEAH!

How does a copied dog come out?

My dog is now 5 years old. I start to think of her longevity. How many years she would be with me? There are copied dogs now in the USA. I have heard about these news in some books. But it needs a female dog to bear the copied puppy, isn't it?

The Terrible White Forest

Fion, my waterpainting teacher,has given us a theme today,and it was The Forest.

I feel a little bit secret and a little untouchable for the forest. Though where I live, Taiwan, there are lot of forest in the middle island, I have been there only for under-10-finger times.

So, I decided to express the effect of a terrible white curved forest.

The Black Forest

Today we painted a street for ourselves.
I have put in my cat and my dog and a bird I have had. And the person who is riding a bike is me. There is a monument in the middle of the square. It is called "The Rose Place". There are a lot of house actually in this street , but have only painted a part of it. I would suggest more than 20 stores together in this street.
This is a street maybe which is located in the Black Forest. So, the black forest is really a suitable forest for people to live in.
Everyday I live with my cat, Shasha, and my dog, Dodo. Their behaviors are like the breath for me. I know what they think and they act, so it is easy for me to paint them.

多多會吃草.

這張仙人掌我還滿喜歡的.
蟹蘭應該算是仙人掌吧,
是我來自FION那張圓珠垂釣植物畫的靈感,
我也想找一盆我很想表現的植物來畫畫看,試試看可以不可以也畫出讓人看了就可以放鬆的植物.
FION其實每次上課時老愛說的幾句話我都會背了,
我說給你聽,
''先把筆觸運軟!''
''記得畫水彩要快,要趁她為乾時馬上就加些明暗度在上面,最自然."
"記得要留白,一個空間要盡量有留白之類的."
真的我都記住了,因為它們真的有用.
這幾個原則來繪這張圖,
你不能不記得,真的,她畫了十年的水彩,
我挑她的課也不是偶然,而是非常喜愛她的夢幻似的畫圖方式,
當然學畫畫千萬別只懂得學誰的畫,
ps.所有會學設計的人最忌諱的就是被人說她學誰之類的.
不過, 我也稍微找了一下網站,還是她的畫得很特別,
所以了,我願意繼續發揚她的畫風.
說到正題, 這盆植物的畫法和下面那盆一樣,
都差不多,我想還是有些地方可以挑出來說,
這張的背景色我刷的方式比較暢快讓人感覺到舒服.
還有,蟹蘭的葉子邊緣實際上是真的有黑線的,所以我願意把它們葉片稍微的框上一些邊,不用太完整啦.
最後,就是盆底我要表現青苔,於是就用筆直接沾墨綠色來很乾的刷過去,ㄟ,就有活靈活現的斑點青苔,很具效果.
下面這張是事先的練習槁,
練習畫蟹蘭的葉子,因為它的葉子很特別,所以你要先去了解一下它的結構.
而且筆就是這樣先事先運軟的,才好畫.

多多前陣子她吃了我的一盆花的葉子,她吃了凌霄花的葉子,

多多是一隻德國臘腸狗,她最近得了皮膚病,現在好了.

後來我查了網站,網站上說凌霄花的葉子沒有毒,還可以入藥,閉血阻塞可以吃.

今天讓她在窗戶陽台曬下太陽, 她開始吃起我的金盞花.

我以前沒有養過狗,也沒有注意過動物如何生活,

她不會去吃有毒的,比如說蕨類, 或是蟹蘭之類的,

我真為她感到驕傲.

你說神不神奇.
ps.她平常不是一隻聰明的狗,不過說到吃東西,就會自動便聰明了.

真希望FION可以多畫點植物

這張畫是照著FION的畫畫的,
這時我剛學水彩第二周,手法現在看來好生疏,
可是那時我覺得我畫得好好喔,
好滿意喔,你要知道,植物其實不好處理,
有遠有近,都是綠色,
不過這剛好是我最愛的題材,
尤其是FION挑的這盆植物我超愛的,
太喜歡了,它一點也不單調,
有著圓圓的葉子,還有垂釣性,其實,
這樣條件的植物多的是,
不過這盆植物長得就是那麼的fashion,
讓我心情放鬆,又暗暗欣喜,
很羅曼蒂克的一盆植物.
畫它有一些要訣的,
記得記得大部分的葉子有留一點白,
代表著光線,也讓畫更輕盈,
葉子有遠有近,遠的模糊的話就好了,其實.
葉子之間上黑色系代表泥土,黑色系也要有濃濃淡淡的變化,
背景最好是上更大片點啦.
我喜歡這張畫最下面右邊的三片亮綠的葉子,
它使得這張畫沒有那麼的墨綠,這張畫太咖啡綠了,有點,好像把植物養得不太好的感覺.
還有,就是,葉子沒乾就可以馬上上另一種綠做變化,
其實我希望可以再畫一張是每有那麼多綠的,比較單一綠的,而是著重在遠近的深深淺淺的綠,
你要不要試試,
對了,
最後記得,盆是圓的,所以有暗有亮,大約在三分之二的地方開始變化,
還有要有些白縫,在交接的地方.

其實我會喜歡fion的畫,

大概是她畫植物好隨性.

畫得當然沒她好.

相信小母黃金犬可以找到庇護的.

這張呢我畫了兩次,這張比較好,另一張糟透了,
問題出在我層層的上色上,畫水彩有一各要訣,
就是要靜,心要靜,
我發現FION是個動作很靜的人,
她的畫和她的人一樣,也讓我有種很靜的,心理平靜的感覺,
把話題扯回來,就是我是如何處理這張畫的,
這是一個木門,我先上一層淡底色,然後在每塊木板處理,
最好是趁它未乾增加一些暗面,然後等她乾後,
再上一次暗面,小門牌後也要有陰影,
再來就是磚塊了,記得有些地方要有留白,畫面才會輕盈,
也是一樣,趁它未乾加上了一點墨綠色,
你可以想像它長了青苔.
底部加層暗色,我處裡的不夠好,你看出來了嗎?

在亞東醫院捷運站三號出口遇到一隻小黃金獵犬,她等在3號出口處,

後來瑜珈做完回來還看到她,

我想起我在家裡還有一堆要送人的狗糧,

(可怕,外面有6聲砰砰砰的槍聲,恐怖喔! 就知道你會嚇到!)

於是我就想等下再拿來給她吃,

回家後要出門下雨了,後來我問了妹妹那她回來時有沒有看到她還在,

她說沒看到,

我猜一定是我的祈禱靈驗了,她被好心的小男生給撿回家養了,

是吧是吧.

有時候你真的要相信奇蹟,

請你跟我一起來相信奇蹟,

奇蹟就會出現.

奇蹟真的會出現.

Fion's Waterpainting Class about My Store ---FION的水彩課--畫我的店

I have used all the color I like in this picture,for example, the yellowish bricks, the gray stones and the purple lavender, and the brown leaves.　Fion has said , if you used all the colors you like ,it would bring out your own character in the picture. So, it is so easy to bring out one's character. And I have found my painting character all my life till now. It is so easy. Just paint what you like.
Otherwise, last week I have read two books about the store in order to prepare for the theme-my store.
One is about the pet shops in Tokyo. It was a amazing book and I have read it twice. The other is about the distinctive stores in Paris. So I have used only 2 hours to paint this picture fortunately.

Today is the 22th, August. It is the last waterpainting class from Fion.

The theme was --MY STORE.

Actually, in my past 42 years I actually do not want to be a boss of a store.

I do not like to be a boss.

Yet I hope to have a store which is sold only of linen texiles.

No matter what kind of linen products I sold, I hope I could paint the patterns through water-painting. Water-painting is very suitable to design the linen textiles.

This is the picture of a corner of my dream JUST LINEN store.

The outside wall would be made of yellow bricks and small washed stones.

Under the show window there would be a step to let people sitting by or cats having a rest with the lavender plants nearby.

People could buy the linen textiles from our store and the patterns to let them could DIY the clothes or the pillows or bags they want.

Linen clothes made by ourselves you could imagine if you dress it,

what kind of feeling you would have with your skin.

It just like that you are a new-born person from a new breathed skin.

I have 3 dreams.

I have 3 dreams.
Last month I went to Wenhua Uni to take a class for waterpainting. And Fion, the teacher, asked, " do you have a dream?　My dreams have come true all. I hope to marry a foreigner and have a mixed baby, and now they have become true already. So, I want to ask if you have a dream now or not."
What a good question I have heard. I have not had a dream already for a long long time.
Therefore, my life was out of aims and out of a way.
After she asked the question, I thought, why can't I dream any more. Eventhough I have lost my last dream, I still can dream. Why not?
I hope that my Dodo and my Shasha could always be with me until I die. This is my first dream.
Because I need to dress a bigger size,XL, and I love to dress the clothes that are made by linen a lot. Therefore, I hope to have a store to sell the beatiful linen clothes and linen textiles.
And finally, I hope I could live with Robert Mazzuchi when I am getting older, because I have never seen a male who could look at me so hot as he does ever. So, I choose him. (But, there is a exclusion in the third, if , if his horoscope is Gemini, then I will forget my third dream. Geminis will never love animals forever as far as I know, of course I hope I was wrong.)
