"Village visions"- water colour practice

Am facing two challenges with water colours..A) Am not not able to get the vibrancy in colours

B) Am not able to blend and make colours "wash" into each other naturally...But try and try till you succeed is my motto!

" Lonely at the top" Water Colour Practice

Water colour painting is Tough!

Seasoned out

This is a water colour painting I made out of memory , of a tree I pass every day while going to work. The tree has seen better days and stands out among its other greener friends. Guess Its on its last leg. Nevertheless, it stands tall in its own beauty!

Random reflections

dAnother one of my attempts at water colours...out of imagination.guess I'll have to do a few more to get a hang of the technique!

"Two Souls"- practice water colours

I have been trying to read up a bit on art and different mediums. Water colours is a different ball game all together.This is a water colour painting I tried to do out of imagination. The challenge is in trying to get the act together at one go...so unlike the oils I am used to doing. But this was a real nice experience. I guess , I got lost while trying to blend the colours as well while drawing the shrubs on the right hand side.

Practice Water Colour

This is a copy of an original, which was in oil.Trying to get a hang of water colours . However, I couldn't get the technique right I guess. My close friend, who is a violin artist herself took it to frame and hang it in her music room

WaterColour practice

This post is kind of emotional. A close friend of mine, who has been through my ups and downs, empathises with my interest for art and constant struggle to make time for it and learn more. This Dussehra (Indian festival), I got a huge art book home delivered from this friend, with Saraswati (Indian Goddess of Learning and arts) Puja (Indian religious ritual) done on it and encouraging compliments wishing me a future of great art!I was touched beyond words. The book is named " Women Artists", by Margaret Barlow.It comprises works of women artists over the world. This is a practice water painting done from one of the paintings from the book by Katherine Cameron.Water colour is a new medium for me and I am trying to learn the nuances. I must say this was a really really tough painting.
