ABOUT ME Sometimes a question plays in my mind, "Am I an artist?". I prefer to call myself an amateur artist because I have never sold my paintings except for a few pieces of portrait to some close friends. As a government servant I earn enough for my living with my current position. Thus, painting is just a hobby. I was first trained as a mathematics teacher but then attended an in service course in art education to qualify as an art teacher. Although I was trained in art, I prefer to be known as a self-taught artist. This is because most of my skills in painting, especially in watercolor painting is gained through experience, reading and workshops. I feel very close to art because I have been teaching art and craft at government secondary schools for 18 years. Although I use all the medium from color pencil to oil, for non-portrait paintings I prefer watercolor as my first choice. Watercolor is easy to handle but difficult to master. A good watercolorist is usually a good artist but not every good artist is a good watercolorist. I started painting seriously in 1986 when I met a group of local watercolorists. I was vary impressed with their good works although most of them were self-taught artists. They also brought me to get involved in our local art society activities. My highest post in the society was as an assistant secretary. In 1994 I went to work as a designer and graphic artist at a government teachers' training college. There I used to design, draw, paint and print using computers and certainly I am very familiar with the internets. So I asked myself why don't I open my own web site for my art works like other artists. Through the web site I can share ideas and exchange works with other artists and art lovers from all parts of the world. That's why I have come out with Artmyas Portrait and Abu Seman Art Gallery. I hope you will enjoy touring my sites and get to know me as your new friend. Thank you. Abu Seman, Kepada saudara mara saya sila klik di sini
