As Time Flies

 Hello, So, We have reached the last quarter of the year. The year started good but by the end of three months Corona took over the television prime time and the lives of the people around the world. We may be safe but no one was left unaffected by its toll on the physical, mental and emotional health. Well, lets hope things turn out better as the world turns a year older in a few months.  Sharing a few of my artwork from this week... Oh! The light and the camera did not do much justice to the Pumpkin attempt but it surely looks better on paper . I am sticking to painting/drawing Pumpkin this month and would share my progress as a try to create a better version. 😁😁😁 So, let's call this one - 'Pumpkin- 01' Tried creating the 'water flowing under a bridge' and somewhere the perspective got haywire. I guess the colours have tried their best to save it . This is on my 'to learn' list.     This 'PAGE' above is a practice run for next year. I just hav

 Hello, K eeping the theme 'Autumn' created this digital card on   Photoshop.  Have tried the digital medium earlier but specifically creating a card foreground is something new. There are so many elements to use but then you don't want the work to look shabby while at the same time it appeals one to add   juuust  one more touch. 😁   Another one with the theme of October  I tried to paint a watercolor pumpkin. The photograph is on the darker side than the original. Couldn't not capture the actual hue. Ahh! Anyways here it is.

 Hello,  Its Monday again. No blues here as the autumn is around the corner. So, lets just hope for a bright and colorful month ahead.  The weekend was a relaxing one but the week looks ready for a sprint. SO, I thought of some Monday Motivation. A quote or any good thought that helps start the week on positive note. Underneath is a Tag I created for the Tag Tuesday hop where the theme is 'TREES' . Worked with three layers and a base layer for the tree and the background on Photoshop to get this effect. The Quote: Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. —Albert Einstein May all have a happy and safe month ahead. Until Next Post👋🙂

Hello, Let's start the week with a lovely quote I read. Colors, like features,  follow the changes of the emotions. --- Pablo Picasso Well, this is so true. We may mask our emotions but somehow the eyes always give away the true feelings. It is just that very few bother to listen beyond the words.

Hello, It is Friday fun with 'Florals' this time. I tried painting a rose. Never realized it would take so much time. Have sketched and then would paint flowers earlier but this was paint on paper without a sketch (to assist). I had to wait for a layer to dry before proceeding (...tiresome, every-time felt like I would never get the hang of next layer) but then Yaay!! Have a flower that looks like a .... ROSE

Hello,  So, it is Friday again and here I am with my itsy-bitsy  water-colour paintings. As it is water colour is a tough medium for me so the idea of trying it at a mini level gave me a break through of sorts . I saw some tutorials on You tube and loved how it worked. I did not do what the tutorials taught (the sketch and all) however the hints and techniques proved to be helpful ( quite helpful actually !!). It was a motivation in disguise as I did not have to create anything big, or have much detailing to to. It often happens that going for the big picture,  things start to slow down and the fervour gets tossed out. So, here I am with the Mini's:

Hello, This week I tried the Oil Pastels. Actually, couldn't get where to start so just took the colors and sat down and started playing with the colors. So, you may find a smudge here and an extra line there.  As I started layering colors over each other it started to appeared like a flower and I took over to give it that look.  Sometimes going with the flow works better. 😊😀 Then one stroke of  pastel  made way for another and here is the final work. It is bright and warm and had a happy vibe to it; so I felt  like sharing it .

So, I sit in front of the PC trying to upload a pic of one of my pages but the internet is getting on my nerves. No matter how many times I try  just when the upload is about to complete it ends up showing an  ERROR MESSAGE : 'unable to load'. After quite a few attempts  I gave in but as I had promised A post a week I ended up creating something on Adobe Photoshop CS.    I tried my hand  at creating a background  that I  may use sometime later for another work. Blue  base with random brush stokes that form a flower.

As time flies I... Thought of buying the right paper for water color and here I am with my work. Nothing great but I believe small steps each day can take you miles. Hope all stay safe and healthy. Don't miss the Fun at Paint Party Friday 

Waited so long for the snow to pass,  Alas, the unbearable heat overshadows  the bright, shiny days I wished for. Oh! Summer.

Every Once in a while I get this itch where I take out my stationary and begin afresh. Drawing has been a vent since I was little. Nothing special just playing with colours and strokes. Never an artistic touch but enough to make me forget the lows and move ahead. Recently, someone told me I still draw the same and so I realized its time to learn the art that was just a pastime... It has been  a while I have been visiting these blogs and  sites where I see people share their work . I visit their blogs and seeing the kind of details and effort put in I was hesitant earlier and  I  avoided sharing my novice art but finally I am here.  My first at   Paint Party Friday  . Until Next Post... 😊
