Another Rangoli.....

Happy Diwali!!!!!

Wishing all my readers a very happy and prosperous Deepawali! I found these cute looking diyas at a local market! These diyas placed among Rangoli surely did brighten my evening!...Hope this festival of lights brings prosperity, happiness and joy in your days ahead!

In the process....

My Elder Sister V gifted me this really cute Perlen-Bastel set (A beautiful box of different kinds of beads from www.nkd.com from Germany.

I should have taken a picture of the box before I started making the jewellry. Anyways, I was so excited that I just wanted to complete everything. Atleast I took a picture while making the necklace. :-)

I will upload the pictures of finished ones in the next post....till then tata! Have a great weekend!

From my Sketchbook!

The first one is of an Indian actress...any guesses????....well actually I had received a forwarded mail from one of my friends to take a look at the drawings by an unknown artist...I dont know who that artist is....but to practice I sketched this one by seeing that drawing...The original one by the unknown artist was better I feel.

This sketch of Mahatma Gandhiji I learnt from a portrait book. U can purchase many books to learn sketching from. There are many types like Landscapes, Temples, Portraits, Nature.....etc..

Water color painting

I did this Painting long back when I was learning Water colors. I used a very old calendar for reference.

This is a reproduction of Georgia O'Keeffe 's The White Trumpet Flower. The medium is Oil on canvas. I did this way back in 2001 and gifted it to my sister Vasu when i visited her place. Since I painted it long back, I realise that I could have painted it better now! :-) but hey every one learns from their mistakes right?????
