Guess what? Painting! :)
I've always wanted to do a portrait of Rahul Dravid, ardent fan, but didn't know how to paint. I mean I didn't get a chance to learn it from the scratch [i'm not born genius ;) ]. Finally, the day has come and I've painted quite a few pictures in different styles. To name a few : Tanjore painting, Nirmal painting, Madhubani and Oil painting. It's been 3 months since I started learning painting [just a beginner :) ].
I've got a few tips for you. Some may seem a bit silly but I think if you don't take care of them, finally it'll make you feel silly.
- If you are using a board which has a hanging bolt already fixed to it, make sure you paint on the right direction. See to that you don't paint upside down.
- Never go for a complicated picture if you are trying to learn. Go for simple ones and paint them big so that you can do every bit of it clearly.
I've posted a few of my works. Have a look! :)
