The Sketch

A practice sketch - I have used a light weight paper for this one and completed it in about half an hour.
I was trying to see if the quality / thickness of the paper made any difference...My conclusion? Once you master your trade, paper will cease to matter - till then, its practice, practice, practice!
 14"X10" 110 lb watercolor paper

Who is That?...

May be he is wondering who is this 'dark guy' which moves along with him...

Mothers' Day

Here is my tribute to Mothers' day. A sketch of my mom, who has been the guiding force since my early days.We lived in a small town where art education was not available, but she always pushed me to do better, encouraging me to share my art with the world ( I being the shy one)...Each woman who is a mother knows what does it take to be one. It means having her whole life altered so that she can provide a better life and a happy childhood to her offspring!When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.
A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.- Sophia Loren

Happy Mothers' Day to every mom of the world.
