Colour of Aesthetics

The initial drawing was done in pencil. Then colours from crayons and colour pencils were applied. It took some time, a bit more than two hours I suppose, to finish this painting.
Crosswise crayon strokes in blue and yellow at the background on either sides give a wonderful balance to the picture. One way strokes would have given the picture an annoying characteristic which would have disturbed the serenity. Thanks a lot for viewing the picture.

Red and Blue

This was first done with pen on paper, and then crayon colours were applied. It was done just as my wife was serving the dinner. It took very little time and I made it a point to finish it before dinner. Got great satisfaction out of it.

The monochrome and black and white give the picture an antique appearance. I love each one of them.

Bards of Bengal

Bards of Bengal, India, known in Bengali as 'baul'. Their philosophy of life is 'first know yourself.' Then only you can venture into the external world.
Watercolour on paper, 5 x 6 in. At the top, in between is the baul's famous single-string hand-made musical instrument called 'ektara' ('ek' means 'one', 'tar' means 'string' in Bengali). They play the ektara when they sing.

Morning Stare

Watercolour on paper, done in 2005, from an old painting (early '60s) by some unknown painter. Loved the chiaroscuro (sharp contrast of light and shade) effect as well as the painting itself. So I painted it again.

Nature in Silence

This painting was initially done in watercolour. Later some pastel touches were given to bring in the depth. Just wanted the place to have the element of silence. If you want to print this picture and frame it, please feel free to contact me. Just visit the 'Contact me' page now.

Dead of Night

A painting done with very few strokes. Still it portrays very well what it is supposed to.
