Another drawing that started as a texture test on a scrap piece of paper but turned out interesting.
Watercolour, ink, acrylic and graphite on paper

Watercolour, ink, acrylic and graphite on paper

Still using colour, but toned down.
I think I needed to make a bold move to bring in some chromatic scale in my work.

It has been a long time since I felt I was on the right track: the last time I got this impression was when I tried the inkblots. Now, there is the mix of human and animal that I really like to explore plus it includes my beloved black with the added touch of colour to make it pop…

I have been spending much more time drawing these past few days, it is a good sign!

Also, pRiyA’s book “My Shishu Stories from a children’s home and school” is finished. The kid’s paintings are stunning and touching. I especially like the portrait of Hella Mundhra, founder of the school.
