poster design

This poster was designed by me , for the cause associated with nijh art gallery , they approached me just for a volunteering for a cause, I took 20 minutes for this , I had to cut hands from .jpeg of my previous art work posted with title "energy flow" and tried some blending option with it. i was exited when the final .jpeg was saved as it came out pretty well and i was not wrong ,it was appreciated by the gallery staff and when it went online it hit the hot spot among those who were following the gallery event, people related to art, and my friendlist. The very day i received a proposal for a new project . Well i will be exploring digital world too along with my traditional .
I am happy i got the permission from the gallery officials to post up my work on my blog and fb .
Next upload coming very soon and

toadnath: Illustration
just planned up to make these frogs give some traditional look and indian band.
i loved this idea and this will be copyrighted . i will make these my symbol logo or mascot.

i know the color of hair is black in reality.Here i want to show happiness in a women beyond what we see, It is always difficult to make a women happy , peaceful and satisfied , specially those who care about everyone in her life, and be happy when she knows that everyone around her is happy,they re not weak when they cry for others, they can see within their loved one and understand very bit of emotions. They are rare and so is my work :P. the colors overflowing shows the excess , and a satisfied, peacul pretty face, dedicated to every female i know

A world ruled by puppeteer,
55X32 cm sq.
inspired by a puppet show , having around 16-17 puppets controlled by one puppet mater.
sometimes, its a worlds where u see what he wants to show, hear what he wants you to hear . He is the ruler who no one can see, u can just feel his presence in the life of these puppets... trying to show the infinite life that can be under one hand..the god of his own little world, better than our world , becoz in his world its always happy ending

Ganesha divine series

Ganesha series on oil
15X22 inches sq

moving away from my original work , I worked upon another perspective of Lord Ganesha. Ganesha as we all know inventor of musical instruments. What i wanted to show viewers is divine brightness around the atmosphere when the lord himself has laid upon his hands on his invention. Well its divine to imagine the theme of this art in our mind, which was my moto.
I want you all to just feel the music coming from this art, if you pay little more attention to your thoughts,you might actually get to listen the divine melody

Ganesha
20sq inch
the ganesha in my style (my style of keeping him simple, with laddus and mouse), now more bigger, and more permanent
expanding my series with oil color and canvases.my original style of making ganesha now in oil color .I was very excited about laying my hand upon oil stuffs. have heard it is difficult to handle.But it came out pretty good, i mean i had my patience tested i didnt knew it takes so long to get dry . my earlier work had included watercolur which need hardly 30 minutes to dry up. but anywasy . i finaaly finished it up and gladly displaying it here...:)

Lord Ganesha
Size: A4
Medium : Water Colour

What I love the most in watercolour is the flow of colors on wet surface(background).few drops of color gives a magic effect , I keep watching the drops taking their own direction forming a pattern on the rough surface, wow, which is the reason why i learned watercolor,which by the way is the reason I stick to watercolor. Here I did the same with religious mind.
foreground:
This is my typical style of making Lord Ganesha, "belly and laddoos" is a must in all my Shree Ganesha work, this is what first comes in my mind whenever in morning I pray to Lord Ganesha except that the fact that others focus more on elephant face. Have a look here, I tried playing with lights and shadows .
Its a rule in watercolour not to use black directly, i tried to obey the rule to find out how much beautiful the rule make it, i ave mixed dark with the original color to be used to give the shadow effect which come far better than showing shadows by gradient use of black. lstly when everything is dried up i concentrated more on decorating mukut with dots and lines.

description:
When it come to making art of Lord ganesha, I dont have to think much or focus much. I wud know exactly how to draw what to draw, because Lord Ganesha is all set in my mind. elephant face, laddoos in hand and belly. i have drawn Ganesha art like more than million times. what i just have to think is about what medium to use or what should i draw to make it different from the other lord ganesha work.
here i go , i tried to pic some of the traditional style of madhubani(skipping the extra decoration) + other art work where we use flat colours without showing much of shadows. Its always turn up amazing , one dont have to much concentrate on composition and measurement , As simple it is , more beautiful it gets

I love making nature , the trees , the river , etc...I always want to sit in such scenery and keep staring and admiring what mother earth has given me! and i feel proud to get extra priviledge of travelling such places in my imagination . One fact about me is that I am nature worshiper! i worship trees , the sun ,the planet . Creating them on piece of paper always get me feel their power.
I use yellow and brown a lot while working on landscape. and if there is a tree then definitely there has to be bracnches without leaves. I keep a special thin brush for the branches part , which i believe is very difficult to give the correctness of real nature, thats the reason i focus on it.:)) the other thing that i have to show is reflection on water, i donno sice when but i enjoy the look of distorted image on piece of water, though i havent master making it, i dont use it very often... though i will work hard to get towards reality

Sea Shore
size a4
medium : watercolor
time half day

what was i thinking before making these! i mean a boat on shore and trees! these works came out really amazing! playing with contrast is my style
andthe protion of dark and llight is what it takes to make it beautiful! specially the boat . i didnt imagined something so simple can be so much powerful! it made me learn a lesson , thinking about the topic is very important for an artist BUT the most important and effort taking is to think how to present the topic! say a boat on sea shore ! if i say it to group of art lovers everyone will think it differently and may be more beautiful!, some will go with a narrow boat ,big boat small boat, ..., red sky , night sky blue sky, ,still water , waves , people , grass, sands...its the amazing thing about an art is that it is unlimited!!

madhubani art
size 6X12
watercolor

I am obsessed sometimes with Madhubani style, and other times with making or depicting nature,
here I present you the representation of nature in typically Madhubani style
concentrate on the pic people, because like all the Madhubani painting there is a story or a message or idea in thsi pic too( the reason of my obsession started with Madhubani is the way they represnt their idea in flat colour and then they make it beautiful with hisgh n extra effort worthy decoration
they are unique pieces of wonders )
