doorway - wde

This is one of the paintings that is still wip. But I plan to finish it before its a year from the day I started...
I first started with an idea to paint this in acrylics on paper.

After doing the initial drawing as above, the subject looed promising and so decided to move to canvas.
This is how the final pencil drawing looked on canvas....


I started with acrylics and after doing the ground paint, felt that the details could be handled better with oils... omg! then moved to oils.. and am still trying to move it forward....lol


I will now post the wips in oil with the final one after completing it.

pouch cove - wde

This is acrylics on drawing paper approx size 28cms*19cms.














This is how the work-in-progress looked for the pouch cove. I had a tough time handling the acrylic colour since it was drying so fast....














And this is how it looked after finishing. I love the movement on the wave and the nice turquoisy highlights in the water.....
