Isabelle Yong Art

I've always been into art and was always surrounded by it but never took it seriously until I left high school. That was around the time where I had so much time on my hands and wanted to explore other things. What's funny is that I never thought I could paint and never really liked my artworks in school. If it wasn't for my mum who threw me into this small little studio with a bunch of oil painters, I would never have decided to start oil painting.
​
That little studio was owned by an old Taiwanese man who couldn't speak English at all and my Mandarin is pretty rough so we had a hard time communicating. Most of the time it was him showing me his techniques and me watching. I would sit in this studio and paint for the whole entire day and not get bored at all. I realized when I'm painting, nothing goes through my brain and I feel like I'm in a completely different place with no worries.
