More watercolor practice.

>> Wednesday, September 17, 2008



Well these are directly copied from another lady's blog (paris breakfasts) for practice purposes only. So that I can see( and learn) how to suggest shapes instead of drawing them.
The originals are great. I liked one attempt. The other could have done better.

Perspective Problem

>> Monday, August 18, 2008

When you see the pictures of the ghats that I have posted, you will see a picture of water fall ending in rocks that I have taken from the top/above rather than from the bottom of the falls where people usually take it from. I was wondering how one can accomplish drawing the waterfall from the top view instead of the bottom view. I mean mostly all pictures are taken from bottom to top and a lot of paintings on this subject also show the similar view. But how do we go about depicting the opposite view on a paper is what is boggling me these days.!! If you have got any ideas please share...

Ferris Wheel

>> Thursday, April 3, 2008


This painting is done from a newspaper photo. The colors of the sky interested me particularly.

I have always been scared of sitting on one of these ever since I was a child. Especially when the wheel stops and you are at the topmost tip of the wheel and the wind gently rocks your bucket...

It gives me the jitters!!!
The colors are looking a little bit more dull than real life.
Suggestions are most welcome.
