And while I was driving to office, with the setting sun ahead of me, I saw many interesting frames pass-by...this is one of 'em (which I painted after getting back home)<br />

Having painted this, I did not really like the composition. In fact, I never tried to compose it..So thought removing some trees and adding some interest.. here's the morning walk..<br />

Sitting in my balcony I was watching these nimbus clouds descend and precipitate...<br />
With my little daughter sleeping warm, I took a break from baby seating and grabbed the colours..<br />
Had to be quick to finish before the little one woke up and cried :)<br />

Wanted to try this new handmade paper I had bought last week.<br />
as usual it turned out to be a blotting paper that renders the brush dry after a stroke..and then dulls the colour at the end :(<br />
But I had a good time painting this one after a long break..and it's a temple-reflection again :)<br />
<br />

This is a scene from a small village adjoining my home in Hubli.<br />
The house in the foreground had an eerie bright blue colour which I omitted conveniently to avoid distraction.<br />
Added a couple of people, pots and a dog for some interest.<br />

Was too tired to paint. So thought will sketch something quick.pchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13357959736369764393noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383639150158601473.post-84162815772564698522010-05-25T00:58:00.000-07:002010-05-25T01:00:37.212-07:00The villager<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Had taken this photo in an adjoining village in my home town. When I took his photo, the old man exclaimed</div><br />
"So, you are from the press eh ?. You are going to write an article about this village ?. these pipes have been lying around here and no one seems to care......"... I had to succumb to his authority and say "yes, I will talk about it"..<br />
The best I could do here is to paint this old man and the un-used cement pipes that were supposed to improve the sanitation of this place.<br />
<br />
<br />

While painting this, I had to remind myself not do overdo the washes. This paper (Montval) doesn't let you do it anyways..<br />
used masking fluid to mask off the whites. Most was wet-on-wet except for the details in boat<br />

I am not happy with the sky. I am using this paper for the first time and it tends to retain wetness longer than I expected. So the blue spead and encroached the whites I had left to suggest clouds.<br />

hundreds of artists from all over India take part to bring art closer to the people. I've been a regular 'vistor' to this fair, but it was a great experience to experience the 'back-stage' this time.<br />
Me and Prabal had long since planned this. We were so enthu about it that we kept on calling up the <a href="http://www.chitrakalaparishath.org/home.html">Chitrakala Parishat </a>..and the outcome, stall #1 and #2 ! :)<br />

And this is indeed the first "flower painting" after a very very long time (I can't remember when I painted the flowers last) ...<br />
And of course this was the first painting with prabal after a long time again :) ...See Prabal's painting <a href="http://micheal-learns-to-paint.blogspot.com/2010/01/experimental-weekend.html">here</a>.<br />

I started off with the idea that I will paint as less details as possible. I personally liked the result, but not quite. I thought the background is a little distracting.<br />

Am not very happy with the results as the overall painting turned dull :( .<br />
Prabal had warned me to wash and dry the paper before painting..but was too lazy/impatient for that procedure :)<br />

Tried on a smaller area (10" x 7") this time.<br />
Made this one without any reference..<br />
Wanted to get a perspective looking upwards from gound.<br />
Spent considerable time correcting the perspectives.<br />
