I can't thank all of you enough to help me reach my campaign goal. This is the last original art give away. I will randomly select two luck winners and announce the result on the last day of the campaign, on Friday, March 13, at 9am. The cityscape painting is a special edition original painting created for Acquerello III. It's painted in Hong Kong during my travel. The abstract piece on the left, is a gallery painting, which is first exhibited at Asterisk Gallery, San Francisco at the "Party Mix Tape" show with Beehive Society.

Dear friends,
I just make an up-date on my Acquerello III Kickstarter Campaign with a behind-the-scene Asia Travel Video Journal:
I start planning putting together, Acquerello III towards the end of last year. I go home to Hong Kong for Christmas and New Year. While I was there, I spent a week in China touring along Yangtze River. I drew, painted, photoed and filmed some of the people and scenery during my travel. These artwork are specially made of Acquerello III.
If you like the my video and enjoy my stories, please support my project or share my Kickstarter project with your friends and networks. This is an independent art project, any form of support would mean a lot to the success of this campaign. ^_____^
Thank you very much, and have a wonderful Valentine's and President Day weekend!!
Best wishes,
Alina
I just launch my first Kickstarter campaign for my new art book - Acquerello III!
Please visit my Kickstarter page. Appreciate your support!!
About my project:
Acquerello III showcases paintings collection from my gallery exhibitions. The book also features exclusive paintings and concept sketches from my private library.
I will share my creative process from idea development to concept sketch and my approach to watercolor illustration. The readers get to follow my painting process from beginning to completion. The book will be printed on high quality paper with a hard cover. With my stretch goal, I hope to incorporate a few video demos.
