Canvas and brushes - 1

(Canvas & Brushes)

Some idle time spent with a canvas and a splash of paint

-Flower Vase-

This is a slightly technical painting. I have used acrylic colours on a ready made canvas. An example of still life painting with approximate 14hrs of work.

On a white wall

Looks good on both dark and light background. Needs a spot lamp on top to enhance the shades of red.

Canvas size: 10"X12" (25cm X 30cm) 

-Cherry-

Another still life acrylic painting. This one didn't take a lot of time to make. Understanding the technicalities was a job though. I have never really been good at object painting. This one I learnt from an online tutorial. It looks like a photograph from a distance.

-Flower Sellers- 

Flower sellers

This one has a lot of fine work. Approxlimately 12 hrs of work. Not much colour mixing or shading, just the fine tip handling was a challenge. Notice the eyes, jewellery and the print on the fabric.

Canvas size: 10"X12" (25cm X 30cm)  

 

-Colours of Holi- 

Colours of Holi

This one is painted by my 6 year old. She named it too. It is a very basic blow painting where the water colour droplets are blown gently at an angle on the paper with the help of a straw.

Canvas size: 8"X5" (20cm X 12cm) 

Another tiny one from those tiny hands :) She has named this one 'Garden'.
