Ganesha has always bben an inspiration. You probably will find Ganesha in every art form that I try. I am untrained artist. I usually see pics and paintings and try to copy them. Most of the time, i can do it right but sometimes my efforts are no good. For Tanjore paintings, I had always wanted to learn in the proper way. So began my lessons for this art form. <br />
I would be lying if I said this was veryhard to do. It is obviously labour intensive, but except for the painting part of it, it is pretty much an effort of patience. <br />
I would so like to explain what Tanjore paintings are, but then there are hundreds of sites doing the same. So I'll give a basic outline for the work done. (The only advice I have for someone trying to learn this art is to find a good tescher and learn it properly. The resulting painting is something you'll have for years altogether and having parfect one beats having one with something done wrong)<br />
There are 4 basic procedures involved with this painting.<br />
1- preparation of board<br />
2- use of semiprecious stones<br />
3- use of gold foil<br />
4- painting of the figures<br />
<br />
This is what you usually get on the net. But, actually there is a proper way to do this. Sticking of stones and gold foil, removing of gold foil, and the actual painting part all have inherent intricate details. I, for one am glad that I learned from a teacher. It is not that people writing on these sites are misguiding anybody. No, they are not. But nobody loves to give trade secrets away and even if they did give the entire procedure in detail,how would you know if you've done it right or wrong. <br />
In any case, its something worth the effort.<br />
Here you have my completed painting , all ready. Then I have some closeups of the face and eyes. This was a specialised part of work. According to my teacher you cannot make too many mistakes on the face. Since poster colours are used, they cannot be cleaned and repainted. The entire painting and shading is done in layers and white and yellow colours especially stand out. If you make mistakes on these colours it's difficult to correct it. I should know, for I made ahuge mess of Ganesha's dothi (lower clothes). That's where a teacher comes in handy. She helped me correct my mistakes without harm to my painting. So, taking no risk, she heped paint the face. The detailing is amazing. I am going to paint the face in my next painting for sure and hope I get the same effect<br />

Between trying to complete some long pending projects and other stuff, I've lagged behind in my posts, but I'm gradually gonna correct that. So, first in the list is a crocheted shawl for my lovely daughter, Khushi. She has long been asking me for one. She is one those mama's<br />
" princess" s who like to twirl and whirl the whole day long, especially if no one's watching them. Anyways, pink is her favourite colour so I had to use pink, but I wanted something different. Then browsing online one day I found the perfect wool - Mohair Ebruli Yarn from <a href="http://www.ponycraftstore.com/" target="_blank">pony craft store. </a>Perfect for this project. I will be posting tutorial and pattern for this shawl later on. This is just a sneak peek.</div>

A rather simplified version of madhubani paintings, in fact. Well, what would you expect? She's eight. Anyways I made the basic outline of the bird and she has done the rest, all of it. She has used black gel pen to do the outlines and pencil colours for the colouring.

I so loved doing this. It was very simple. The painting was done on a aluminium sheet nailed onto a wooden board. The engraver was kind of like a nail bored into a wooden block. I didnt have the actual engraver so i asked my local carpenter to just take hairbrush handle-like piece of wood and pound a nail into one end He then cut of the head of the nail and flattened the tip by hammers. The tip of the nail was flattened to give a tip of about a few mm breadth. Viola my engraver tool was ready It was very easy to do. After tracing out the design on to the sheet( I used carbon sheets), the outlines were engraved in zigzag lines . The background was painted black with black oil paint and the clothes of the figures were painted with glass colours. The only mistake I did was to leave the painting as is. Over the years moving and cleaning the painting has left som scratches on the surface. My advice to anyone trying any painting would be to protect your work adequately. They do become precious to you as the years go by. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDMyxSRc1KLs9tNT_QIVpVW5S2zXnptoFhPggRZRCfCKreHQ2PGDnD0vFHmOzmL7mXKHJpCi68Geq5_AMPibotYODI9W42WW_cABZC0sdaYsqL85I3AO9pUNXF_Zj6amS7InE8S2h33UT/s640/blogger-image-482263245.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDMyxSRc1KLs9tNT_QIVpVW5S2zXnptoFhPggRZRCfCKreHQ2PGDnD0vFHmOzmL7mXKHJpCi68Geq5_AMPibotYODI9W42WW_cABZC0sdaYsqL85I3AO9pUNXF_Zj6amS7InE8S2h33UT/s640/blogger-image-482263245.jpg" /></a></div>Nisarg creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09939350340511088479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904032477417961291.post-72912299469380871512012-08-14T09:59:00.001-07:002012-08-14T11:29:41.384-07:00EMBOSS PAINTINGSThese paintings were done by me about 2 years back.

CROCHET TOYS - AMIRUGUMI <br />
Amirugumi <span style="font-weight: normal;"><i> </i></span> is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japanese</a> art of <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knit" title="Knit">knitting</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crochet" title="Crochet">crocheting</a> small <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuffed_animal" title="Stuffed animal">stuffed animals</a>. Amigurumi have no practical use, but they are too cute. Kids and adults alike love them, so they make perfect impromptu gifts. Amigurumi are usually <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crochet" title="Crochet">crocheted</a> out of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn" title="Yarn">yarn</a> using the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crochet_stitches" title="List of crochet stitches">single crochet stitch.</a>They can also be <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting" title="Knitting">knit</a>. Typically, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crochet_hook" title="Crochet hook">crochet hooks</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting_needle" title="Knitting needle">knitting needles</a>
that are slightly smaller than one would use in a typical project are
used, in order to achieve a tight gauge that retains stuffing and does
not allow the stuffing to show through the fabric.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Obaachan_3-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amigurumi#cite_note-Obaachan-3"></a></sup> Stuffing is usually standard polyester or cotton craft stuffing, but may be improvised from other materials.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Obaachan_3-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amigurumi#cite_note-Obaachan-3"></a></sup> Amigurumi are usually worked in sections and then joined, except for
some amigurumi which have no limbs, only a head and torso which are
worked as one piece. In crochet, amigurumi is typically worked in spiral
rounds, in order to prevent "striping," a typical feature of joining
crochet rounds in a project.<br />
<br />
I have seen a lot of these amirugumi toys online and they look so beautiful and difficult to do. But an hour or so is sufficient to create these pieces. I have made this crochet duck as a trial piece and I loved it. It is so
easy and quick to make. I am planning to try out others. So, for those who would like to try it out here's the pattern. <br />

I discovered Tatting during my first pregnancy. Having lots of medical issues during that time, I was advised bedrest and honestly, it drove me mad. I also discovered Crochet, but more of that later. One of my cousins, who lived in the same city (Bhopal), used to visit me and to help me pass the time she taught me Tatting. I do remember her mother, (my father's sister) working on those small medallions when I was a child visiting her during the holidays. I never knew the names of the crafts that she and my cousins used to work on but I do remember them always being busy. When not working on household chores, they would be creating something or the other. I remember thinking them to be sooooo talented. When I was growing up, academics took over our lives. I lost touch with these cousins, as they had all married and moved away. But getting back in touch brought back memories and also an interest in these crafts. I still have the lace and medallions that I had first tatted.</div>Nisarg creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09939350340511088479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904032477417961291.post-45829478613311066272012-06-16T14:50:00.001-07:002012-07-07T23:34:04.496-07:00Madhubani painting<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
One of the most beautiful painting styles in India is from Bihar. Simple yet versatile, this art form originated from the motifs drawn by womenfolk to beautify their homes. Over a period of time, the designs have evolved more complex forms. Made from natural colours, they were painstaking drawn to show every naunce of life and nature. Various scenes of life and nature were depicted beautifully in these drawings. More on madhubani paintings later. From now my recent madhubani painting - before and after complation<br />

I have done about a couple of watercolours before now. All have been trials because I am still learning and teaching myself, so probably my technique may be at fault. This is the first complicated watercolours I've tried. The first is the basic hand-drawn sketch that I made to start with. Thankfully my drawing is not too bad, so my drawings turn out ok. The problems start when I start painting. I feel I've used too much of the watercolours, so that rather tha being kind of pastel and transparent, the painting has turned out to be too bright. Plus, the face isn't too good. I'm working on correcting that issue. Hopefully, my future efforts will turn out to be better.</div>Nisarg creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09939350340511088479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904032477417961291.post-18772802886550476402012-06-16T06:17:00.001-07:002012-07-07T23:31:54.173-07:00Its a whole new world<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I have been painting a lot these days. I find it relaxes me. Painting is actually a great de-stressing activity also if you have your kids doing it with you, it is totally so entertaining. There are so many types and techniques of paintings, I feel one lifetime isn't quite enough to learn them all. My paintings are a small effort on my behalf to learn as much as I can. I will also post some tutorials on what I'm doing as I go along. right now I have done a watercolour Krishna and one symbolic of Gandhiji leading our beloved country to freedom. Most of my patterns and designs are inspired by those already on the internet. There are a lot of ideas there. </div>Nisarg creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09939350340511088479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904032477417961291.post-10479655659090745352012-06-06T04:39:00.001-07:002012-07-07T23:32:18.643-07:00Charlie chaplin<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
My latest attempt at charcoal painting. I'm still in the learner stage so please, this was supposed to look like charlie chaplin, but turned out a bit sad looking copy. I'm basically teaching myself through trial and error method. Hopefully my future attempts will turn out better. My kids have already been quite critical about this one though so i'm quite ready for anything now :))<br />

Another Ganesha. Any form any colour any material, just too beautiful for words. This time its in pencil colours. I used to think pencil colours were for kids but WOW the effects one can get are amazing. Good thing I saw my neice's works. She's really inspired me to try them. Thanks Shreya. This one's for you dear<br />

Paper - with the planet warming up recycling is the way to go. But if not origami is a good way to utilise old bits of paper and, especially if ypu've got kids - to keep them busy. I picked up this technique from the net, the peacock is colourful although a bit untidy. But, well, that happens if you've a lot of kids playing around. <br />

With my niece as my guide I've tried my hand at pencil colours and charcoal painting. I've always thought that pencil colours were for kids, but now i just love working with them. My first attempt at pencil colour painting<br />
and charcoal painting. Ganesha was my second work in charcoal, but He is so lovable in any form, any art or any material. <br />

For a long time, I 've been enamoured by Tanjore paintings. A very old art form, using pure gold foil and semiprecious stones, it has evolved with times. Modern influences have made it more easy to work on these paintings. Earlier made by trained artists, using labour intensive techniques, Tanjore painting has changed only a little. The beauty of each piece is matched only by the intricacy of work. I've been trying to find somebody to teach me. Finally i've able to find a teacher. So with her help and a little net surfing, I've finally started on some pieces. The first being that of Lord Ganesha. Who better to start any project with.
