Sea Turtle

After yellow, I have turned to blue.I was trying to find new subjects, and a sea turtle in its aqua habitat looked like a good subject!..I have used white oil pastel to keep all those lines on his skin..it also gives some texture to it.
Due to some family obligations, I haven't been painting much lately...and the trend will continue for some more time; but I sure miss you all, and will be back as soon as I can manage!Till then , Happy Painting!

    Arti, your sea turtle glows from light from the surface. I love his happy attitude.

    I wish you well in carrying out your obligations and look forward to your more regular blogging.

    This looks like a baby sea turtle! I think he is gorgeous. I especially love the touches of green in this painting. Well done, Arti!

    Nice colours and perfect drawing. You have handled those limbs very nicely and delicately.

    The first thing I noticed is the bold use of blue. I would be scared to put so much of blue like this. And I also liked the use of oil pastels. Makes the job so much easier.

    I left an award for you on my blog.

    Wonderful Arti - you've achieved such a depth of colour with those blues and reds. And that cheeky touch of green!

    Your painting if blown up would come alive. It looks so real. I loved the spring is here painting. My 13 year old daughter is also a good artist and so is my 11 year old son. She was in awe of your sketches and paintings.

    Keep going!
