Play with colors and the brush. Trust me, it is fun. I have never enjoyed painting as much as I am in this course.
I have been using water colors since I was in grade 7. But, I never realized what they can make ! I never knew that the same water colors which I have been using since almost 7 years now can be treated in so many styles to create magnificent landscapes. I was simply overwhelmed, looking at these colors flowing freely, making their own way on the paper in the wet-on-wet technique. When we were asked to do the same, I was so eased out as it seemed needless of any effort. But, as soon as I held the brush, I figured how difficult it was and the quantity and quality of effort it would have taken for ma’am to make it look so effortless! I now understand how, where I stand in the world of visual art. I have to work really hard to reach that point of effortlessness.
But, guess what the good part is? Unlike any other subject you don’t have to slog to excel. You just have to paint

I have learnt painting since standard second. But, that was more towards appearing for the elementary and intermediate drawing exams. This class is more fun and different. I am loving the feeling of painting because no one tells me ‘what to do.’

Water Colours

Water colors are-

Anuj-Very spontaneous and refreshing.
Moshni – No one can redo the same painting again is a good feeling.
Shreya – Very soothing.
Harsh – Fresh.
Navak –They are addictive.

[after the session on Shadanga and nav-rasa]

Q] The abstract paintings which we do not understand do not have any of the shadanga elements. Does that mean that they are not paintings?

Ans] Yes. They are paintings but lack mass-appeal.

Digital Dystopian Art

A futuristic vision of how defiled our landscapes could one day look.

Use of warm tones, depth of field and perception draw parallels with the several schools we've studied.

art in general

Its amazing how art gives you a completely different perspective. You start viewing things in a different light. eg. when I look at something as simple as a leaf, once I just try drawing it, I understands how difficult it is. But, after I am done, the happiness in immense.

One thing I realized was that whenever one is stressed, painting can relax the person and calm one's mind.

My most important learning was that I could actually paint and this helped overcome the misconception that painting was something that was beyond me

I have started enjoying painting and less resistant to use colours. I realized I was not that bad at painting as I had perceived myself to be.
