Time To Pick Some Flowers

So here comes the third kurthi for Renu which has a beautiful lady collecting flowers from a tree in full bloom.
The bright design stands out beautifully on the yellow coloured kurthi.
I had so much fun doing this painting especially the areas with the skin tone and the orange drape.
I was really worried as I did not have the skin colour but then a little brown (Fabre Castle) with lots of white did the trick.
I was so pleased with myself for discovering the perfect colour but guess what the same trick didn't work with another brown (Pidilite).
This painting should have actually taken only a day but because the past few days were really packed it took me 3 days for completion ( So basically I was simply mentioning  that I do not paint 24x7 but have a job to do :) )

The evolution-




At a glance :)

From now on I have decided to personalise all the pictures I upload. I think it looks pretty good.

    Are you a surgeon? You seem to spend painstaking amount of time for your art work that too scrutinizing minutest details… hence no wonder it all turns out pretty good

      after few years? seriously?
      way too late...your language as i see is as good as your creativity...so..maybe you can color your pallet with written words as well

Raise A Cup......For Yourself.

Image
Everyday you spend time for others. Do what they like, hangout with them and so on. But its high time you spend time for yourself. This art is a dedication to the self. I'm not for any gender in particular, a race or community. It's being humans that matter the most. So raise a cup (or a glass) for the self....for you as a person. Because only when you respect what's within you , can you respect what's around. You're beautiful. You're strong. You are you. And...... no one's getting out alive so might as well have fun when you're still breathing...'coz you never know. 🤷🏻‍♀️ As usual found this picture online....I borrowed the  oulines and filled it in with my designs. The design on her hand is inspired by my own bridal mehendi. 😀 See I was sure this art would make me come back and do more. And I'm loving it every bit.

Colours Colours Colours

This time I went for a totally new way and I loved it so much (its not the result I expected but its a start anyway). Orange dominates a bit more than I wanted but then this type of art never comes out the way you expect. It will always go the way it likes. This is the most amazing way anyone can become a master artist and create a unique piece that no one can ever copy, not in a million years. All you need is a canvas, lots of paint and time to get your hands dirty! I didn't prepare my canvas, just diluted the acrylic with a few drops of water. Then its just pour and swirl!! 😃 Finally the touchups on the small areas the paint couldn't get to. Again this was inspired by a YouTube video by MelyD artist. Thankyou MelyD! Lessons learnt 😬 • The first time I did this was a total disaster (should've taken a picture). I didn't want to waste much paint. So I went and diluted my acrylics a bit too much. When I poured, the colours mixed with each ...

A Dance With Dots

Image
Dots or points, as insignificant as it might seem, becomes compelling and beautiful when they combine. Similarly you might consider yourself as an insignificant part in this world but the minute good deeds you do will finally add up to something bigger or better. It might be as simple as holding the door for someone or helping someone overburdened with luggages. It will be remembered and karma has a way of finding its way back. You get what you give. Atleast that's what I'd like to believe. Brightening my wall This is the 3rd painting in the Buddha Series. It is a 10"×12" canvas and took me 2 days to complete. The practice piece I did helped me a lot in understanding how to place the dots, about what colours to use and different techniques that can be applied for a better result. A closer view This time I learned a little more about using the transition effect for a better result. Although the colour combinatin turned out a lot different than ...
