Hello readers 😃!

Recently I went shopping and found a very pretty graphic greeting card. I was so mesmerized by that I could not think of anything else for few days. I could only see that card everywhere I saw #StoryOfMyLife. So I started to put it on a canvas. I drew the sketch first. 

I used acrylic paints to colour it. First started with clouds which reflect the colours of sun rays.

Now I painted the lotus flowers. I really liked the colours I mixed for them.

Next, I painted the leaves and grass. And did some purple lotus flowers.

Now, I started with the sun rays. It took a lot of time because it had lot of details.

To take some break from sun rays I switched to water in the lake.

And done. It took pretty long to paint. I spent 3 days just for sun rays. But am very satisfied with the final look. 

To give the final touch, I drew outlines of the flowers, leaves, birds using a sketch pen.

 And done! 😄

Table makeover

Hello everyone !!

I had a plain white table from IKEA. I got bored of the plainness. So just to change the look I painted it using acrylics. Its super easy and looks great. I hope you like it :)

I started with drawing the pattern. I used a candle holder for making a pattern.

Once the pattern is drawn, I started with random colours and filled in. The palette was mostly grey, so I used colours which go with grey like salmon pink, light pink, yellow, olive green etc.

At this moment, I decided I wouldn't fill in the space between circles, so I scraped them. And I painted the rest of the area. Here is the final look.

Peacock mixed media art

Hello readers 😃!

Today I want to share how I made a mixed media canvas using modeling clay. This one is variation of a canvas I made called Clay floral design on canvas. I made a black background on the canvas using acrylic paints. To get an even distribution, I  gave the canvas several coats of black by letting each coat dry.

I wanted a different texture and design for background. This time I experimented with bubble wrap 😊. I painted the bubble wrap with blue acrylic paint and stamped it onto the canvas at several places.

Similarly I added more colours using the bubble wrap on the canvas.

After being satisfied with the background, I sketched a peacock with paisley patterned feathers using a pencil.

Now to give boundaries I rolled modeling clay into thin string and glued it onto the canvas.

And going further...

And done with the clay boundaries 😊. Now let the glue and clay dry.

Now I painted the bird with silver acrylic paint. Painted the branches with metallic green. And for flowers, I used metallic  blue, violet and peach.

Next, I used metallic gel pens to draw the patterns in the paisleys.

And done 😃!!

Buddha painting

Hello!! 😃

I am very excited to share the outcome of a painting idea I had recently 😊. I was very much interested in drawing a Buddha for a long time. I have used a long canvas for this project and acrylics.I have used some paper chips  cut into triangles leftover from an old project.

I drew the image first.

I rearranged the paper triangles to just see how it looks.

I drew the outline on the canvas.

 

Just checking the paper triangles.

I thought of using opposite colored triangles on the side of the faces. But I decided to mix them up and used multicolored ones.

For the 'Om' I have used metallic acrylics. The outer circle is painted golden. Then I used dot painting techniques to fill the outer circle.

And here it is. The final piece 😊
