Sketching around the house

Yesterday was my birthday, i try to sketch as much as possible objects around the house. Some of reminds me while we, 5 of us live together as complete family from 1990 to 1994.
Enjoy..

Last day at Kimia Farma Plant, Pulogadung

I work here since December 2014 as a part time general practitioner only on monday and Wednesday. Since August 2014 i studied at Indonesia Univ.to continue my magister education. Monday and Wednesday are the only days with no lecture activity.

Coffee time

Enjoying coffee now ain't simple anymore. Starts from the hardest one for me: "coffee without sugar", good pure roasted coffee itself, the right temperature of boiled water (85 degree Celsius), filters, and of course the right companion and barista, Ijar Karim :p.

Drinking regular sachet coffee has given a terrible effect for my heart. Not very convenient on that situation. This happens since january after my friend Nina brought toraja coffee a few months earlier.

Depok Courthouse

Depok traffic is very hectic. Even though the Margonda street is very wide, but u-turn sometimes too far away that makes motorist sometimes do illegal things like turning back his/her bike against the normal traffic.
Some succeed, some don't and must pay the fine at this courthouse.

The process itself is relative fast. I came at 09.00 and finish at 10.00. At least 100 people were there to follow the process.
No more traffic violation, just obey the rules.

Cycling to bukit hambalang march 6th

Bukit hambalang terletak di daerah sentul dengan rute sekitar 15km dari pasar cibinong. Memiliki kemiringan curam yang cukup untuk latihan pesepeda.

Minggu ini dalam acara peresmian komunitas sepeda Federal Ciracas dan sekitarnya saya turut hadir bersama 200an pesepeda lainnya. Terbilang sukses dan sepertinya diliput trans7 untuk acara "redaksi malam" nanti Jumat 24.30

Rute diawali dari jalan raya hankam menuju leuwinanggung, via bukit golf perjalanan melewati pabrik Semen Cibinong- pasar citeureup ke arah sirkuit sentul. Dari pasar citeureup sekitar 4km belok kiri ke pusat latihan pasukan PBB naik sekitar 5km dari pertigaan masuk.

Acara ini juga diramaikan teman fotografer Tempo Ijar Karim yang memiliki keahlian khusus di bidang perkopian.

refill old ink pen, a new tool

 

Very reliable pen, easy to refill. And of course easy to use. the technology is old but not obsolete...

More painting of the faces

Menggunakan cat air demikian menyenangkan. Makin menyenangkan ketika klien memberi saya kebebasan menggunakan teknik apapun (yang sebenarnya baru saya pelajari atau temukan seiring belajar) dalam lukisan yang mereka pesan.

Using watercolour has been a very pleasant activity. Even more fun when clients give me freedom to use any kind of technique (that actually I've just learn) in their order.

Lukisan pertama lebih banyak mengunakan teknik wet on dry lapis demi lapis sehingga mendapatkan warna yang tajam serta relatif lebih mudah dikerjakan namun agak memakan waktu.

First painting most of the process using a wet on dry technique Layer-by-layer to get a darkerand sharp color. Easier to do but a bit takes time.

Lukisan kedua agak sulit, pertama, karena pemesannya adalah wartawan foto AFP Perancis yang sangat peka estetika; kedua, arena beliau membebaskan saya (lho?) Karena dengan begitu saya harus menebak seleranya. Menggunakan teknik sapuan wet on wet bahkan lebih lama karena jarang dibiasakan (namun teknik ini menyenangkan, percayalah) tone sephia membuatnya terasa klasik mendekati keindahan hasil foto sang wartawan.

second painting a bit difficult, not because the technique but more to the client which is a photographer that have a very good sense of art and he sets free me in guessing his "flavor" .
Using wet-on-wet is a real fun. More difficult but combined with sephia tone makes it closer with the photos that he produce :)

Cycling to Purwakarta

Purwakarta is about 98km from Pondok Gede. The trip took about 7-8hours with bycycle. Travelling along kalimalang via Karawang, until meet irrigation river called tb 1-5. At the end of river, curug bendung stnds beautifully.

BENDUNGAN CURUG

Bendung Curug terletak di Desa Curug, Kecamatan Klari, Kabupaten Karawang, Jawa Barat. Latar belakang dibangunnya bendung Curug ini adalah untuk mengatasi beberapa permasalahan akibat dibangunnya bendungan Jatiluhur. Pembangunan bendungan Jatiluhurmemiliki 3 misi utama yaitu: untuk pemenuhan pengairan, air baku, dan untuk pembangkit tenaga listrik. Pembanguan PLTA mengharuskan tinggi jatuh 80 meter sehingga di hilir bendungan muka air dibuat serendah mungkin. Akibatnya untuk keperluan irigasi, air minum, serta penggelontoran dil dibutuhkan proses pemompaan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, maka dibangunlah bendung Curug. Di bendung Curug air dipompakan untuk daerah pengairan Tarum Barat dan Tarum Timur.

These are the routes from Bekasi to Purwakarta

cycling "around Indonesia" ep.1

Taman mini Indonesia Indah (tmii) is one of the largest vacation site that contain a lot about culture and some achievement of Indonesian.
With ticket less than a dollar, visitors can travel around enjoying the view that represent Indonesia.

First sketch is Keong Mas (golden snail). The early movie theatre in Indonesia that plays 3d movie. First time i went here in 1985. Now the building still at her best condition...need a little renovation of course :)

Second sketch is the gate of Museum Indonesia.

Trip today was closed with a nice lunch of pecel madiun around Office Post Museum. While listening sitar player plays javanese song.

"Warung Eva" , a nice pitstop for cyclist at gunung Geulis

Using a roadbike for uphill cycling is a tricky sport. Using lowest combination crank-sprocket of 34-36 is very challenging. With thin tyre that has lower "rolling resistance" plus light weight makes the trip fun except on offroad terrain.

a

Starts from Sentul circuit head to zero kilometer until Rainbow hills then turn right about 23 kilometers.
The restaurant not pretty big but comfortable and placed at location that still cold and start to down hill to go home.
