Festive Mirror Painting

Hi Friends,


Here is my treat to your sore eyes.

Like it?!!


I loved making this piece and it required me to be patient. 


Had to remove the silver lining of mirror to make it clear glass on which I can dance my love. 


I started making it with 2-3 colors but the festive mood took over me and made me add these beautiful colors. I did the outline with red and filled the lighter shades of pink, green, orange and yellow and the background of gold was the cherry on cake. 


I have used oil paints for the opaque effect.


Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012 with lots of happiness.

Vase Painting

Long time no painting!!!

Well here it is. I had a plain glass vase that inspired me to paint it with a mehndi (henna) design.
Have painted a glass after a long break.

I have painted it with oil paints from the inside. It was a good challenge for my wrist.

Set of 3 Bowls

Hi,

My recent project is a triplet of small bowls.

 Learned to trim a foot on the bowls.

Gave my first carvings on these pieces.

My guide helped me get the right effect I wanted with this beautiful purple color.

And after all the hard work, I am happy to see the beautiful outcome.

Have handled different types of clay from soft to hard ones. Some more pieces are to come out of the firing soon.

Flower Vase

Hi Friends,
You must be wondering long time no see. Well art takes its time.

This time I have come with few of my Ceramic pieces.

The first one is a Hand Build Vase. This is my first hand built piece which came out quiet nice..what say?

                                                     

You guys must be wondering where am I learning all this from. I have joined RAC's (Richmond Art Center) Ceramic classes, a very nice group trying to reach the community and encourage people to enhance the artist in them.

This month I have worked on few more pieces on wheel which you'll be able to see shortly.

Introduction

I have been doing GLASS PAINTING for a few years. I love painting with glass paints

 and oil paints on glass.

A year back a very talented friend taught me TANJORE PAINTING. I have made one till date but looking forward to making more pieces.

We have all played with clay in childhood but I revisited it and fell in love with it. I am on my way to learn all the aspects of CLAY ART - HAND-BUILDING;

 and POTTERY (WHEEL THROWING).
Here are my baby steps towards it.

Will be having more posts soon. Please feel free to ask question, share your suggestions and ideas.
