"Painting is the amalgamation of elements that communicate an idea, a feeling, a mood – and this has to be done with passion!" (Alvaro Castagnet) How true!! I like to paint, to express myself with colors. It gives me immense pleasure to see the colors gradually take a shape on paper. Painting elevates my mood, eliminates the tension, and soothes my otherwise restless self.
A painting is a 'joy forever', frozen in time. It is an expression of one's sensations and perceptions.
Nature fascinates me to no end, and i like to express that fascination with colors. I paint not because I am very good at it, but because it makes me happy. Its as simple as that!
Recently i have been experimenting with oil pastels. I find them non messy, easy to handle and very convenient. Here are some of my doodles.

You have done a good job there with oil pastels! I think I should also get started with this medium. That palm and the landscape look very vivid and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback! oil pastels are non messy, affordable, and they give a nice efect to the sketches on paper. but on a canvas i prefer oil paints.
