A Birthday Bouquet by Seok Yam Chew

In a word Seok, Gorgeous!

The soft focus look in this one is superb seok. You dont need to worry about the bits you couldn't paint. It all looks so right.

Seok I love lost bits - this is beautiful, and lucky you doing a workshop with Fabio - his work is wonderful

It is just beautiful Seok! The colour of those peonies is gorgeous and the little dark twigs make the painting look real without it being real. ( I hope you understand what I mean .) All in all its super!

Another lovely painting Seok, peonies and hydrangeas are such showy flowers and you have really captured their beauty.

Another beautiful painting, Seok - so soft and gentle with lovely colours. What a shame it has been pushed well off the first pages by an MP. I don't think anyone would mind if you re-posted it.

Lovely piece - the soft edges work well: not everything has to be pin-sharp and crystal-clear and in fact I'm far more drawn to a piece like this than I ever am to illustrative work so botanically exact there there's not a centimetre left for my own imagination or interpretation of what I'm seeing.

Beautiful colours and the soft edges give it such a dreamy effect. Lovely! (I must learn how to do these lost/soft edges!)

Another super piece of work Seok, well done.

I concur - gorgeous watercolour. Also, thank you very much for your kind comments and encouragement. There will be more paintings and hopefully drawings in due course ... if I can find more sitters who are willing.

Beautiful Seok! I can see why you like this style so very much! Lovely colours too :)

This is fabulous. I love the softness. So different to my hard edges.

Gorgeous painting Seok, such lovely colours

Its a really beautiful painting, you must be very pleased with it.. I would be!

One of the best watercolours on the site for quite some time - great one Seok

Thank you so very much, everyone!

This is just beautiful Seok, one of my favourites of yours.

Hello Seok. Just been looking at the photos of your workshop with Fabio C on Facebook! I wonder which lady is you ?

Thanks so much, Val! Avril, it would take a lady in France to alert me to the fact that photos of the workshop I attended in Singapore is now on Fabio's Facebook page, lol! I'm the one in the purple checked trousers in the group photo!

Very nice indeed, great style, I love the pinks with the blue/mauve. Thanks for taking the time to look back at my work Seok.

Oh so pretty!

I really love this style, well done!

Thanks very much, Carole, Helen and Lorraine!
