Ganesh The Warrior: Watercolor Painting

Image
Gods need interpreters too. ... ... Hi! 'Ganesh The Warrior' is in watercolor and pencil, drawn on hot pressed 300gsm paper. This is my second watercolor painting ever! I know right? I hear the gasp too. :) ... ... My first watercolor painting is here. Well, you can actually call this my first watercolor painting because it doesn't use any other medium to enhance any part of the artwork. I did use a regular mechanical pencil to add shading to the weapons. I have always been more inclined to sketching or using oil pastels (that's my jam, by the way) or any forms of inks or pencils.

HIDING Why are people characterized in black and white but we readily accept all of nature's colors? Let's be honest. This video looks rough. The lighting is horrible. Nothing is steady. The music is too loud. It's all at an odd angle. Quality is bad. Etc. etc. I was planning to record me painting my first watercolor artwork for the first time just as a trial, but ended up going through the whole rigmarole anyway. In hindsight, I should have probably taken a smaller piece to work with. I was oddly anxious about having my really old camera on and it felt kinda awkward since I couldn't figure out if it needed more or less light (now I know that it needs more, of course - no need to mess up my eyes). Because it was constantly recording, I kept working fast in some places and then, would completely forget it was there for large swaths of time. So much so, that when I played back the footage, the majority of it was literally me watching paint dry (hahaha

Also 'Hi'

Hi! Namaste. How are you? Well, I am good, thank you for asking. :) Welcome to chamelioness.com! Here I post my artwork, ramble about creativity, invoke the name of design, and go crazy fangirl at most things I love. But...but who are you? I am a self-taught artist still experimenting with life while trying to make life imitate art. Join me in my crazy battle to mix colors, draw people, draw animals, inking, and how to live creatively! What else? I am also one half of a lifestyle blog called 'Rumi and Ray' that I started with my bestie, Rumi. Hi Rumi! Where can I find you? Everywhere.
