Swirling Silhouette

Shilpa14 Comments

I bunked work today because :
1. I can
2. I was sick ( if my boss finds out about my blog.)

So I was tingling with creativity because I saw this lovely video by heathers hobby and I couldn’t resist trying it out. And so I did. And so this post. And so some pictures!!! 😀

I thought silhouettes look better afar than close up and hence the various proximities. I was particular about trying this technique of color blending and gradual movements from one light color (yellow) to a darker color (red) and I am pretty satisfied with the outcome. That said, I’m always satisfied with what I do 😛 so it is for others to tell me how it looks 🙂
A Tuesday well spent relaxing and painting at home. Oh yes. Hope you guys had a hard and tough day at work. Bwahaha! >:D

Can’t stop gushing :D

So, it is my close friend’s birthday so guess who smartly turned her new found hobby successfully into a personalized gifting idea? Yah thaaaats me! 😀
Sat twelve hours and made this piece of painting which I personally feel is the happiest most colorful and toughest paintings I’ve attempted so far. Say hey to awesomeness! 😀

So, the basic idea I flicked as usual from pinterest and gave my personal touches to it. Used acrylic as always to paint on canvas. Love canvas and acrylic because they are the easiest things to work over if you make mistakes. So that works pretty well for clumsy people like me. :/ (dropped little paint on it once..and the paint brush full of wet paint once. So…er..ya. Clumsy..that’s me)
I hope my friend loves this painting as much as I loved doing it for her. Fingers crossed. X!

Whale, whale, what have we here?

Funny pun-ny titles and I are in a on-again off-again relationship, aren’t we? 😀
So, I’ve recently taken to painting like an ant to sweet candy and boy am I enjoying myself. Trust me, they weren’t kidding when they said painting is such a stress buster. I have started painting on canvas using acrylic paints. Apart from the above three-part whale, the other one I’ve done is this.

I love the way these paintings are turning out. Waiting for Sunday to start the main big DIY project inspired by which and warming up for which I’ve been painting all these small pictures.
Come soon Sunday. ❤
