Focus, the painting

This one was done primarily to experiment with gesso. There’s gesso under the paint and there’s gesso over the paint as well. The triangle in the center represents an eye - similar to the eye of Arjuna when focusing on his target and the eye of the bird that he was going to shoot his arrow at. It also conveys energy.

Medium is acrylics, gesso and oil on handmade cotton-waste paper. Size is 20cms x 30cms.

Hair, the illustration

Sometimes I have the urge to pick up a pencil/pen and just draw “something”. This was one of those “something” episodes. It’s open hair on the back of a girl’s head falling onto her bare back.

It’s microtip pens on art paper initially drawn on an A3 and then cropped to enhance the feeling of flow.

Ms. Woods, the illustration

Black ballpoint pen on art paper. Size A3.

Orchid, the painting

This is oil on canvas board. Size is 20cms x 15cms.

Birds of paradise, the painting

I recently finished painting [ and sold ] one of my art pieces. Acrylic on handmade cotton-waste art paper. It’s called Birds of paradise [ although I would still prefer to change it's name to "Face in the Swamp" ] but the former name is better in terms of saleability! The size of this painting is 20 cms x 30 cms. I love the texture of the paper - but because it is paper one needs to be very careful not to mix too much water in the acrylics.

I recently did a lot of about 8-9 paintings and this one is my favorite after the painting of the boy. [ That in the next blog post. ]
