More of Native Nature...

Some more exciting colour work this time! finally!
I mean,I like black n white sketches..don't get me wrong..but there is just something when you begin to work with colour...the emotive power colours have is so lovely and I'm very excited to begin the colour phase of this project..
But its not all easy..as a student one of the key skills we develop is the "ART" of colour MATCHING!

colour matching to a reference : The Ajanta Cave Paintings,Benoy K.Bhel ( amazing book!)

> Ink painting on montval w/colour paper >

With a little help from photoshop:)

I did do a few more experiments,but I'm yet to scan them in.Will share them shortly.
Next up...

More drawing...
