O'er the hills and vales- Oil on Canvas



This is a small oil done on canvas, copied from a card with a similar picture. The strokes are quite mature and smooth. She has yet to get used to the thick oil paints, as they are new to her. There were some trees which she apparently painted but removed . this is a point to note, as this indicates that she has understood the versatility of oils, as opposed to other media! I hadn't expected this...or maybe she has seen me doing this at times.... altering/ removing the entire backdrop from a painting and the learning was there in her subconcious.
All in all, not a very bad attempt. Colour mixing is quite good too.

Danseuse- Soft pastels on paper - A3

A figure drawing  of a Bharatnatyam ( Classical Indian dance form belonging to Southern part of India, Asia) dancer, done with soft pastels.
The proportions were little out of place. Colouring is smooth and steadfast.

This sketchbook paper, which is a little rough in texture, but not grainy, seems to be ideal for soft pastels.

KFC- Acrylic on A4 canvas sheet


Output of a Plein air session . KFC in Hiranandani, Powai.
The assignment was a little tough for her age. It was good learning though, as she was confronted with the usual Plein air confusions about what to retain, what to phase out, which angkle to cover, how to capture light. Cityscapes are daunting but they are great learning lessons and hopefully the young age will make her understand perspective and panaroma. She couldn't complete it on the spot and finished it about 3 days later!
