తెలుగుదనం...

"తెలుగుదనం"
Ink and Watercolors on Paper 8.5" x 11"

Being simple and natural is the most difficult in life, now-a-days. When life becomes artificial other things take over the simplicity. Good-old Indian traditions are the most simple yet elegant ones. Indian traditions, and even Girls' outfits have changed overtime. But nothing can be as elegant and as simple as Half Sree- the most beautiful and elegant outfit for Girls, especially for Telugu Girls.

No doubt, this is one of very few sketches I did bit more carefully. I need to make this a habit. My definition of habit is nothing but something that has been followed for years. Also, she is probably the only one I did three sketches in a row. Yet to do many more...

తెలుగుదనం కరువై, రాను రానూ కనుమరుగై పోతున్న ఈరోజుల్లో

ఎక్కడైనా, ఎవరిలోనైనా అది కనిపిస్తే మెచ్చుకుని మురిసిపోక తప్పదు.

“It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.” – Amelia Barr

Portrait of Talent...

"Portrait of Talent"
Watercolors on Paper (8.5" x 11" (21.5 cm x 27.9 cm)

Painting portraits is always challenging. Every person has unique features that when not captured nicely make the result doesn't look like the person. Capturing facial features is only one aspect of painting a portrait. Capturing feelings is the essential and the most challenging aspect of it.

This portrait certainly challenged me to the greatest extent. Struggled to get the grasp on it to portray the feel of talent in this Portrait. I think I am very close to capturing the feel of talent in this Portrait, if not captured fully.

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter."

- Oscar Wilde

Happy painting!
Sharpen you talent by practice!!
