Pastels and more

A little experiment with many colors all at once! The one on the right is literally my stinginess coming out as it is made by dabbing leftover/excess paint using a crumple of tissue. Talk about using every last bit of the color. The one on the left is using color pencils or pastels. I think I saw this either in a hotel room on one of our trips or online, but loved it and decided to give it a shot using pencils. 

Modern Art

I have done several modern art type paintings in the past few months, have kind of lost track of the dates. But finally getting a chance to upload them all. These here are acrylics with one of my favorite color combinations. This was a quick guilty stroke of brush after having not painted for a long time!

Holidays 2018!

Happy new year everyone!
Tried something new this year. Painted this and scanned them into postcards. Turned out pretty cool, Visatprint for the rescue to do the formatting etc.
As for the painting, this is again mixed media with a watercolor backdrop and acrylic trees. I must say this is becoming my favorite kind of painting. 

Wintery Fall

This one was one of my first proper experiments with mixed media. The backdrop is all water colors and the birch and most of the leaves is acrylic. This was made specifically for our dear friends Lubna and Moin as a house warming gift.

It also inspired me to make holiday cards with a similar media combination, coming up next :)!

Spring

An entire year has passed without an update! And although I feel bad about it, I have been dabbling with water colors and mixed media quite a bit. Hoping to upload them all soon.
This was one at a Paintnite event and was super fun as Satish came along. He painted for the very first time ever (so he claims) and I must say did a fantastic job.

The media was acrylic and the canvas now sits in the make-shift studio of our new home. Hoping to paint a lot more in 2019! 

Geometry again

This was the second of the two colourful geometrical paintings I made. The plan is to eventually frame them both and hang them side by side. You can tell that I kind of lost a little patience there as I got to the end of this one. Thankfully the theme was dropping off the tiles :)! Hopefully the next will be something different and perhaps with acrylics or oil paints. 

Colourful Geometry

Another one inspired by Etsy! We just bought a home and I have been scouting websites like Etsy for home decor ideas. And then when I come across such paintings I feel I can paint them too and frame them. So this is the first of two that I made, I loved the colour combination and more so the pattern when I saw it! This one is water colours again as I needed to use shades of colours.
