Orchid Drawing..

        This is my first artwork that I posted here..not much, just a simple line drawings of a few species of orchids on A4 size white paper..Using a drawing pen in various thicknesses..I did this sketches purely based on my memory observing and working with the plants before, so they may not be very accurately depicted..just for a decorative purposes..

        What made me chose to draw these orchids was because I wanted to capture the elegance in their appearance, long and slender inflorescence..Simple yet complex, each to their own aesthetics value that being translated visually through my memory and imagination..

        Kali ni ialah pos pertama karya saya, tak ada la apa sangat cuma beberapa lukisan ringkas jenis-jenis orkid di atas kertas A4 putih..Saya guna 'drawing pen saja' tetapi dalam berbagai ketebalan..Lukisan ni pun saya buat dengan daya ingatan saja..yalah orkid yang selalu kita tengok..senang la nak ingat. Lukisan orkid ni tak la tepat sangat..lebih kepada untuk tujuan dekoratif saja..

       Apa yang membuatkan saya tertarik untuk melukis orkid-orkid ini ialah kerana nilai-nilai elegan yang kelihatan terutama pada tangkai bunganya..kurus dan panjang. Ringkas tetapi pada masa yang sama tetap kompleks, setiap satunya mempunyai nilai-nilai estetika yang tersendiri yang dizahirkan oleh saya secara visual berdasarkan ingatan dan imaginasi..

The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.
- Auguste Rodin
