I created this picture from a number of different pictures. Its not my usual style and preference of using a loose wet technique, but I thought I would push myself outside the box a little!. I remembered Ona's lesson about focusing on the COI, and thus have exaggerated the beetle nut tree a little as it has an interesting bark. I have also put more detail in the mustard fields in the background and used a fine brush to do so. Certainly a first for me as I much prefer a broader brush and a looser style. This is a very typical scene in rural Bengal!
What a great painting Brinda. I've never heard of a beetle nut tree, but they look really interesting and I particularly like the way you have shown the roots.
ReplyDeleteI like this too, the focus on the tree, but still my eye was swept to view the base under the tree and the fields beyound.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the textures of the tree bark and the foliage. Nice!!
