                                                    Watercolor on paper

Not that I don't keep painting children otherwise, I was tempted to paint one after watching Satyamev.. couldnt sit through the whole program though.. Here's to the little girls who bring so much happiness to the world!

                                                  8"x12" Watercolor

I quite liked the sketch, so as I held the brush and looked down at it, I told myself if I spoil this I have another paper. It works!

                                                 Water color on paper

I know it was quite ambitious of me to choose this to be my second portrait in watercolor, but I so wanted to paint it.  There were lot of learnings and as always saving whites was a struggle, and ofcourse water is just so uncontrollable! I also missed ultramarine blue as always which I am yet to get. I still would like to make a lot of changes to it, but I have succeeded in consoling myself for the shortcomings by reminding myself that I am still using the student colors and a paper I am not too found of! :)

Nicely done, Mamta! The flowers have excellent form and shape. Looks like I could reach out and pick one up. I also love the use of darks in the background to push the flowers forward. The viridian green is making a strong appearance here and you've made it work. Kudos to you for working with your limited palette so well. I do believe the temperature of the greens and background are a little cooler than the plant would normally be, but you've made it sing here. Well done!
