Few DIY in the process of making the artworks, something to take my mind off the colors:)
 Thanks to Pinterest and all the creative people who did all theses so we could just follow those steps and make such pretty and useful stuff out of literally the trash..
 This one is so useful to store and hold all my painting supplies

Multiple Canvas


                                                               "Far Away"
                                                        Multiple Canvas Art

                                                       Acrylic on Canvas Pads

Horse Year



                                          Acrylic on Canvas (20"x16"x0.5")

Painting on canvases was an altogether different experiment as all these days I just painted on any paper or cloth without preparing it. But to paint on a canvas, I had to prepare the canvas first by applying Gesso and then one coat of paint would never suffice. I had to do the painting in multiple layers to get the color effect I wanted. After wasting quite a few canvas pads, I finally got what I wanted on this Canvas board which is ready to hang.


Though they are a lot of flaws in the painting, I finally realized that perfection never works for me. This artwork would always be special for me as this was the first time I painted a life form on a Canvas.

Anyways this is just the beginning:)

Fly High

                                                           "Fly High"

                                                    Acrylic on Canvas (20"x 16")


Looking Up- Up a Tree

                         
                                                              "Bloom"
                                                Acrylic on Paper (10"x14")


Sunset and Sail



                                                               "Sailing Colors"
                                                          Acrylic on Canvas (13"x16")
The very first painting on a canvas and I love it. The colors, the reflection, the sail and the clouds work so beautifully. This is again a recreation of Leonid Afremov painting, but the beauty is that I created this using a brush and not a palette knife.

I hanged this in my bedroom for the time being and not a day passed when I didn't stop in front of it and blushed. The colors bring life to a boring day.



Abstract Flowers in Red & Yellow

                                                     " Morning Glory"
                                                     Acrylic on Paper 10"x14"

The quickest painting I've done recently. Created this while seeing a tutorial on how to paint flowers using acrylics on Youtube.

Finished the entire painting in less than 20mins on a paper (10"x14") using acrylics.

An Experiment to learn color blending.

In Love

 I love using bright colors to my paintings. And this painting is also a recreation of an artwork.

Though this painting lacks the clarity and the distinction which would have been clearly created using a palette knife on a canvas, but the colors are so bright and vibrant that they mask away all the flaws for me.

A Walk through Woods

                                                   Acrylic on Paper (10"x 14")
This piece is a recreation of an artwork by Leonid Afremov who used palette knife to create a wonderful texture. I loved this piece so much that I again did the same painting on a canvas.
