Ohhhh Yes, Falling in LOVE … once again.

if this woman is looking out from window then how come sun is settling down in the background? Well that’s mean (I said to myself), but he was right.

I have always been in love with pencils, colors ever since i was a kid and the love faded after i got busy making money … what a PITY.

So how come it’s back again?

Well, after writing my first blog post, i was kind of struggling to concentrate on the topic of my next, so …. what did i do?

I took a day off and went to Surajkund Mela 2010 held at Surajkund, Faridabad.

Chitra, I and Anoop ( Chitra’s brother ) left for the fest around 10:30 in the morning and returned somewhere in the evening around 7, so we were there for the whole day. We enjoyed all our day had a great fun, chitra burned all the money she had, Anoop  and i enjoyed all the sightseeing and of course efforts put in by the various artists.

Here are some of the highlights

Okay, let’s not get in too much of details of our little picnic here but focus on if I got my next topic of interests? Well Yes, I did, I fell in love with all vibrant colors one could see everywhere. All the reds, blues, greens, yellows, Pinks … beautiful use of colors in every shape, paintings, form of art, walls, trees … virtually  everywhere and moreover all the little rangolis, rajasthani rural art presented almost on every wall and that reminded me of my passion for art which I lost ages ago.

So what did I do after I got back home?

I wanted to go out in the market buy myself all the possible oil paints, brushes in all sizes, big art board, canvases, painting knives … every possible material that would help me start my passion once again.

Did I go out and bought all that stuff?

I sat in my computer chair, opened up Google map to locate nearest art & stationary store and I realized that I was using my mouse on a hard surface and bang it was my newly bought bamboo tablet … what a pity, I was using my tablet as a mouse surface? WTF, I dropped the idea of buying all that material instead I thought let’s give this baby a chance and see if I could use it for better.

So what did I do next?

I opened up Photoshop plugged in my bamboo and tried my strokes very loosely to see how responsive it was and honestly speaking I could not make it do or behave the way I wanted it to do. I tried turning up and down pressure settings, adjusting working area but it wasn’t feeling as nice as a real brush scrubbing through a canvas but I didn’t give up and came up with this result.

I know, i know, i know … It sucks, got a chance to catch up with my few friends a couple of days back and one of my friends Ketan, got my attention towards a logical mistake in this painting. He said that if this woman is looking out from window then how come sun is settling down in the background? Well that’s mean (I said to myself), but he was right. I could have come up with different explanations, one could be that it’s her wallpaper in the background or a big mirror reflecting the view she is glaring at, but all in all … this digital did not turn out into something i was hoping for.

So, what did i do next?

Well it will be a fairly long post if i were to share my next attempt, but TO KILL THE CURIOSITY I GRABBED MY PENCILS and here is what’s next in the stores.

So stay tune to find out my thoughts on this sketch and my attempts and desire to get closer to my first love.

baBye
