Mother and Child

Inspite of the problem areas there is something about this sketch that appeals to me more than all the others i did over the holidays.   I think the main reason is that it brings back the moment I was trying to capture.  This holiday was the second time that I got to spend with [...]

Watercolor Travel Kit & a Self Portrait

A few months back I read Nina Johansson’s post on A messy little watercolor project and became interested in the idea of making my art travel kit better. I was carrying a bunch of pens, pencils and pentel brush pens with black and a brown washes. I wanted to add more [...]

Trying to create transparency

Every once in a while, I try to draw something other than a face. Here’s tonights attempt, the brush holder on my desk. I have been shying away from attempting transparent objects and this time I decided to go for it. It certainly is a step in the right direction.

Trying my hand at Pop Art

Lifehacker had a post on Make your own Andy Warhol pop art pointing to Melissa Clifton’s tutorial on Andy-Warhol-Up Your Photographs. I’m waiting for some paint to dry on a portrait that I’m working on and decided to have some fun. And fun I did [...]

Portrait in Pencil

It had been a while since I last made a drawing and so I pulled out this magazine I had set aside. It had a few photographs that had caught my attention. I had picked up the The Peak while holidaying recently, in Kota Kinabalu, expecting to make some drawings at the airport. [...]

My first swap

A project that I am participating in involves exchanging paintings of portraits. Read more in A Portrait Swap.
Here’s a crop of the beautiful painting of me that’ll be here soon.

And below is the one I’ll be mailing out in a weeks time.  Finished it a short while back and now waiting for it [...]

Black Box Invention - It eats money

After hearing what my husband had to say and few other comments that I received, I realised that I had not expressed my thoughts adequately in the painting above. Not that I am any better with words but I would like to give it a try.
Background: Eleven years of work [...]
