BALI day 1: Dara Ayu Villas

Celebrating the new year that was just weeks ago, I went to Bali with my fams. I stayed at the Dara Ayu Villas, located deeeeeeep inside the woods in the edge of Ubud. It is a very silent place and the houses of native Bali villagers. I saw very little tourist there. It took approx. 2 hours to get to the Kuta beach by car!!! and it also rains allll the time.

Anyway enjoy the post!! :) The first photos are taken inside the plane

 Finally arrived at the villa... very tired. Oh, they give free foot massage for complimentary gift! I love the service here!!! <3

The water is very COLD!! No kidding.

These photos below are from the villa's garden. It's huge in here, so many plants and stones. It took quite a distance from the villa gate until my room.

hey what is this?!

FINALLY! arrived in my room

The view of the swimming pool from the second floor 

unique bathtub!

shower.

OOOH!!!  A BUTTERFLY! 

and so, after that I went down to had a complimentary snack and drink from the villa. The snack was a traditional Bali cake and the drink was a Spicy tea, consisting of ginger, and other spices. So here's the downstairs part of the villa.

 As you can see, the villa is surrounded by the rice fields, so I decided to take a stroll there because it was so beautiful. heehee :D

Yes, I know I only wear my left sandal.  

Me and mom! <3

So thats the end of the stroll and I went back to the villa and play beside the pool.

aaaannnddd its time for me to go swimming. I wont let you see me in swimming suit ;D lol 

so BYE-BYE!

green weekend

HI everyone! today is a fine sunny day, which is very good opportunity for me to make some artwork outside in the balcony. I am in the mood for painting plants and flowers. So first, I need to get the tools ready  for drawing! 

 These are the tools I needed today! They are my Titi Watercolor in various colors, then my painting palette, a cup for filling water, watercolor brushes, pencils and eraser (inside the bunny pencilcase) and there's my Blackberry and earphones, the essential thing for drawing!! Because music really helps you to calm down and express your feelings to the art.

 just a random shot i took.

*half an hour later*

 Basic sketch of the plant using HB pencil

 Okay, now I've started coloring it from the leaves.

 Coloring the branches and the soil

AND 


AFTER LONG HOURS OF PATIENCE AND HARDWORK..............

 IT'S FINALLY DONEE!! YAYYYY

AH, what a good feeling i got from finishing this work. I am so happy to see the result! :D But I think that the color for the leaves are a bit wrong... Love the shading I did for the pot though, what do you think of my drawing? Any critics, comments maybe?



anyway, that's all about today's post. see you soon! :D
