The Door

It was very interesting to sketch this unused door in the material storage place...but my motto was to show convincing light and shadow across the patch of grass.As often said, it is important to have a clear objective to sketch or paint a scene in technical/artistic terms that you wish to capture on the 2D surface, it can be like an interesting shape, convincing light, colors in shadow, temperature difference, depth in distance/atmosphere, turning of form etc. rather than just liking the scene/subject.

Mother's Day

I'm not a fan of the much commercialized celebration of "Days" like teacher's day, mother's day etc., instead I wud advise my students to make handmade cards or gifts if they want to gift their loved ones....but last week my son bought an artificial rose from his bookshop for me(with the extra money he had), he said everyone bought gifts for their mums too......and I shud admit, that moment of receiving a gift from those little hands is very exceptional, he later promised to give me a handmade card too :)
And what I did with it? as usual............Gouache (Cad yellow, Cad Red, Alizarin Crimson, Cerulean blue).
