A few pieces of paper in A6 size had been lying around and I decided to make use of them! Its quite a small size so not many details in this drawing but I am happy with this little guy! I have used mechanical .5 pencil on smooth paper.

A watercolor sketch of a white horse with wispy hair and the loveliest of faces. Very loosely painted on best quality Arches paper; this portrait has a dream like feel to it.

Snowy Owl

Misty

10"x14"

Watercolor on Arches cold pressed paper

I started with the idea of a white subject against a dark background and this one was perfect, a snowy owl I had seen sometime ago in a nearby wildlife park.

Some good news this morning as well.My last painting "In Search" ( old man with a white beard)  has been accepted in International Watercolor Society HongKong. This is the first time I had entered any watercolor painting outside my country and feels great to be accepted.I am sure its going to be a great experience, fingers crossed.

Owl Alert

7x10

Another owl..I did spend some time on this one, using first a basic wash and then adding the detail in various colors and etching out the feathers with a rigger. The paper was langton cold pressed which allows time to add detail.I have used mostly cobalt blue, opera pink, a bit of sepia for darker areas and yellow ochre for base.For his eyes I'v  used Indian yellow- though opaque, it still is quite a vivacious color..I like the way it uplifts the artwork when used sparingly.

Barred Owl

Owls are fun to paint,,usually I like painting the ones with long, tufted ears- but this time I decided to try this round headed, barred owl.Next time i might try them in colors other than the ( natural) brown!

Bronzai...

SOLD

Chaos still reign at home, still I try to find time to paint.Definitely, painting is more fun than hemming a large curtain! ( which took up almost whole of my yesterday) well you got to do what you got to do...
