• ART : In the country

  

  I did this painting two days ago, using a limited palette of ultramarine blue, yellow ochre, alizarin red, cadmium yellow, and white. While I was tempted to use just one more color (I so needed Burnt umber), I did not. At the end of two hours of painting, this is how the canvas looked like. […]

• Art: Imperfectly perfect

  

  This is my second oil painting. I call it ‘Imperfectly perfect’ – the image is inspired by a painting I saw on Pinterest. With this painting done, I want to go back to drawing and shading. I think it’s important every once in a while ( once a year or 6 months) to practice sketching […]

You end up spring cleaning each time you move and what finally remains are the things that have earned their place to stay, over all the other things you possessed. Because, you had […]

• Art: Back to Basics 2

  

  This is my second picture in the ‘Back to basics’ series. I can’t say I’m enjoying pencil shading. I like it at the end if I achieve the desired result but in between the beginning and the end, it tests my nerves. This time I selected a picture where I would not have to worry […]

• Art : A painting made to order

  

  My blog has been inactive for more than a fortnight. That’s the longest time I have not written and when I say, ‘not written,’ I mean literally that, with the exception of the jotting I did in my diary. I have been occupied, both mentally and physically – a ‘happy’ occupied. A neighbor of mine […]
