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:)
