Shadow and lighting with colorful background

This time I painted the scene with grey hue and colorful background. I really like the way background is affecting the composition. Pretty neat :)

No doubt, it's a really good exercise to learn shadow and lighting...now I just need to practice practice and practice a lot ;)

Shadow and lighting

Using grey color with a little mix of red to create the effect of light and shadow, imagining the arrow as the sun, I played with the colors to create this effect of depth...pretty cool aye...  :)

A wave

                                                                             Ocean wave

Wow, I really miss New Zealand for it's beauty of ocean...
This ocean wave reminds me of the time I spent during my work in NZ. I made this painting from the book of Mr.Terry Harrison's Painting water in watercolor.  I enjoyed so much painting this, and I can surely see that there is lots and lots of room for improvement, but hey you got to start somewhere, right?. I assure, it will get better and better :).

Thanks for stopping by

Stay sweet and happy :)

Door and window

Hi Folks,
Welcome to my blog, as this is a painting of a close door, don't seriously take it that way, it's open for all of you ;)
 This painting is again an output of a practice session from a book by 'Paul Laseau' . Love the way it came out especially the shadow part.

And the painting below is of a window, I painted from a picture which I searched in Google, I like the way how wood texture has come out in it and also the look of an old wall.

Good day
Neha :)

Flowers and butterflies -_-

Hi folks,
Oh I love this painting of mine, I made this with the help of an awesome tutorial by Dennis Clark of Paint Basket TV. While painting I learned a lot about water coloring, how color interact with water, brush and paper, incredible process. This painting is on A4 size watercolor paper.

And here are the painted butterflies below with the technique of wet on wet, which I learned from Fiona peart :) 

Good day
Neha :)

Watercolor Paintings :)

Well, how about sharing some of my watercolor paintings with you guys.

 

Blue Ridge Mountains 

This painting was made back in 2013, inspired by a tutorial.
Love the medium of watercolor, what a wondrous way to communicate using colors...


Also, I made this flower, with watercolor pencil, thanks to the technology of watercolor pencil and watercolor pen brush, that I can draw without any hassle at my work place ;)
                                           

Pink Flower

 Made these paintings on 300gsm watercolor paper.

Good Day
Neha :)
