watercolor and life.

 

Hooker's green always attract me. This i tried few days back as a single color painting.The lonely  structure during an early evening capture my eyes but later i found its not lonely some trees are standing with it like valuable friends looking after it from a distance.

I learned watercolor for 2 years during my 10th standard from Mr Tulsi Das.Then I had to quit it as academics is the only investment that a middle class family from India can think of. Then again after 18 years I started it, may be 6 months back when my mom presented me with a small box of watercolor , two brushes and two handmade papers. may be she knew i have the love of it still inside me . Initially I was afraid , skeptical but thanks to the invent of this virtual world as I came across so much of resources to learn from and works of Milind Mulick , John Salminen, Fabio Cembranelli and many more inspired me to give it a try. I am thankful to them. This picture is a copy of a work of Fabio Cembranelli. To me he is the best floral painter in watercolor. For me Watercolor is a lifelong learning process and I consider them as my virtual Gurus...

Feel the wind

Have you ever slept on the grass looking towards the sky with your friends? Enjoyed the feel of serenity and dreamed to touch the sky one day ? I bet u have done it and do it again if you get the chance. Starting watercolor after 18 years of gap was never a easy task but u know as Oscar Wilde said "I can resist everything except temptation."

Once someone told me " happiness is a concept, a relative thing so believe in joy.. because u can feel it". I believe that. I don't think I am an artist but I love watercolor coz it gives me joy.So I want to share it, share my journey of watercolor... share my moments of joy.
