Landscapes from this week in oils
Author: Thistleblueart
I am an Artist.My love for painting started as a preschooler when I was gifted my first box of wax crayons, it turned into my hobby...gradually I fell in love with watercolors ...a medium with which I have endless fun creating my artworks, I move freely between mediums - watercolors and acrylics, depending on my inspiration for that particular piece of work I do. Inspirations have been from exploring nature and folk arts. I have been painting for a long time, and have held exhibitions in India as well. I have been into textile designing, promoting Traditional Indian Folk art and Hand embroideries on textiles and other mediums. After I have moved back to Canada, I have joined numerous workshops conducted by well known artists in Canada. I let the colors dictate the creativity on paper, I leave it most of the time on the whimsical water to play with the colors and bring the idea that I have on mind on paper. Sometimes it works in one go and at other times I have to stop my work, come back to it after some time with a fresh perspective ...and make it work the way I had wanted initially. All in all, I enjoy the process of painting, the mixing of colors, the gradients, the texture of good grained paper or the tooth of a good canvas. And I do believe that there should be no rules at all. One should be able to play with colors and experiment with different mediums and materials, and enjoy the journey of creativity!
