One of my very first creative work is an oil painting called "Grandpa's work space". The painting was finished in the year 2015, and despite its simple look, this piece of artwork took me over four month to paint. Painting this artwork might be a long and difficult journey, but finding inspiration and finalizing the draft of the artwork is much more challenging. In order to create balanced composition and accurate value for this artwork, I had go through a rough pencil sketch and a monochrome painting. By creating a black and white draft using pigment color, I was able to rearrange different objects in the painting without worrying about color and texture.

Gramp's work space, 2015, oil paint on canvas, 60cm x 80cm
I consider this piece of work as the beginning of my journey with oil paint. Despite a long and hard process I had to go through, I'm still very much satisfy with the knowledge and experience I had gained
