just to keep my blog in-sync with prabal's, I fished out a couple of oldies :)
These were painted way back in 2007
When on a bike trip to Savandurga, me and Shashwath couldn't miss these bright bamboo bushes. Not equipped with a camera, we captured the details on a piece of paper with rough pencil sketches (study).
I have already told you this, but let me tell you once again. I love both the paintings. It may be a coincidence that both of us found bamboo bush very interesting to paint, but I guess it was a good coincidence. As you have kept the whole composition simple it has worked very well for you. I like the clarity in both these paintings.
..I am an out-of-touch hobby-painter, trying to re-discover the art in me..
my experiments and learnings with colours is what I share here..
I am a Software Engineer based in Bangalore. Inspiration from my school art teacher in Dharwad is the only art-education I've have had. Now I have enough teachers in the form of fellow bloggers who have a lot to inspire and keep me going !

ReplyDeleteAnother reason I had to keep the composition simple was that the surface was small ~5"x7".
