Had spoilt two watercolors one after the other. Probably because of not getting enough time or too many distractions. Decided to paint some thing that would take a little less time and concentration. These lovely leaves have always fascinated me. They are called 'Monstera Deliciosa'. Have done two works earlier of the same subject. This was a quick fire work and was happy. Hope you all like it.
This turned out to be a perfect piece, sometimes quick works without much expectations will cross our expectation!
ReplyDeleteI understand the constraints when you are busy with a job like yours, but I look forward to your works more often, you do know they are your stress busters!
What you said holds good in a larger perspective. Less expectations... more satisfaction.
DeleteThis is a beautiful watercolour, I have a large Monstera in my dining room in a pot which I have been growing for many years, unfortunately it does not look half as good as yours, with their dappled leaves. Watercolours can be so hit and miss,glad yours ended up being a hit :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked it.
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the quick fire ones retain a freshness and immediacy which cries out with joy!
This certainly does that.
Thanks a lot. Many a time I tend to overdo and lose the freshness of the colors.
DeleteHi, AK, wow, really nice work! Your work has beautiful colours and sophisticated skills. I'm learning a lot from you.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Sadami
I think it is the other way round ! Your work and words inspire me.
DeleteBeautiful loose painting with nice sense of shape and dimension, which I find very hard when painting foliage. Lovely textures too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Blaga. It just clicked.
DeleteThey really are beautiful leaves.
ReplyDeleteI ruined a portrait yesterday, too - I understand. :)
Ruining is also a part of the learning process.
Deletereally good, fresh, light for painting fast, without
ReplyDeleteplaning, sometimes very good results coming out.
relax, relax, keep on painting......
Thanks for the encouragement.
DeleteThe quick paintings are usually the best...I don't think this is an easy piece, AK....but it definitely is a beautiful watercolor...
ReplyDeleteWonderful work!!!!
thanks for being so generous.
DeleteCiao Ak. mi sono impigrita un poco nei commenti, ma periodicamente seguo sempre i lavori degli amici.
ReplyDeleteMi piacciono molto i tuoi lavori perchè hai trovato morbidezza e mix di colori che rendono molto bene i soggetti dipinti,
Ciao, ciao, a presto, Floriana
Thanks Floriana. Always look forward to your comments.
DeleteAsti, really beautiful with painterly touches of light filled washes and dark negative painting touches! Quick paintings especially after some frustration with other attempts always seem to gratify, no? - I guess by then our brains and brushes have had their practice and are toned ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words Meera. Whenever I go back to some quick light work I get a feeling like going back to school to brush up some lessons!
Deleteyes....I DO like it! It is really beautiful. I guess we can be glad you had two failures---so you could paint this gem. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Celeste.
DeleteExcellent brushwork and color- you won this battle beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Mary Maxam.
