Thank you so much Maritza and Eva.
Thank you Bose Sir, for the advice.
Thank you so much Mary.
Your love of village scenes, and your joy in painting them is so apparent. I did not even notice the dreaded straight blue in the background till I read your comments. :)
Very nice ! Loved the free flowing scene and the nice contrast of the warm hut against the grass..
Thank you so much KAthy and Moonstone.
Hi Vinayak, This is a lovely painting, so beautiful. Almost like I am there! I was reading the other comments, and I actually like how you have used the blue to create distance.
Thank you for the comments on my blog. About the medium pastel, I feel I like I struggle everyday. But I am fortunate to be a student of Christina Debarry, who is an acclaimed pastel artist and was the president of the pastel society of America. So, that helps. Having said that, I have been admiring all your charcoal portraits, why don't you try them with pastels. Let me know if I can be of any help.
Thank you so much Urmi.
Unfortunately, I don't know where you may find pastels in India, I started working on them after coming here to the US. Pastels are basically of two kinds: hard and soft. I would suggest you to get 3 individual sticks of the same color in 3 different values ( light, dark and middle) and start with monochromatic drawings on a toned paper and see how you like it.
Barbara Jaenicke is very good, just saw her work. BTW, hope you have seen the works of Edward Degas, he has the ultimate supremacy in pastels.
I forgot to mention, it's better to start with the hard pastels. Work just like you do with charcoal, hatching, cross-hatching to build the layers initially, from dark to light. It's tempting to blend with fingers, but avoidable.
The village scene is beautiful! Love the foliage and the warm colours of the house, rendered beautifully!
Lovely scene, well done.
