Here is my painting which I made as a demo to few of my friends. It was a very special experience and very satisfying as the painting turned out to be a decent one!
As I have mentioned before I have started outdoor painting since January. Currently I am trying grey scale sketches to get a feel of the "value". This exercise will help me in both composition as well as colour selection and simplification. Here are few such grey scale sketches.
The first one is a structure behind the main building of Pune university. The painting is almost entirely created with synthetic flat brushes and with warm colors as it is peak summer here. I did not want too much depth as the structure is surrounded by rocks on all sides.
The second one is based on a photograph downloaded from net where i have tried to simplify the subject by removing infinite small details. Just tried to capture the value masses.
