water color painting of the lake-side

This one’s very unlike my usual brush strokes.. but somehow I couldnt go with the bold streaks this time.. stayed on the shallow side of the water colors.. as mild as it could get.. perhaps the view of the calm lake from my window got me this effect!

Or was it the lack of cribbing @work!?!

What do u guys say!?!

    Is this the very lake view from the new flat? Cant help but day-dream how wonderful it must be for all of you there……….u enjoy the scenic beauty while rest of us will imagine the scenic beauty from the painting itself, just viewing the painting resulting in quite a soft & calming effect……….excellent use of the brush-strokes……….bringing out the results really well!

  2. Its B E A yooottifull….

    Really… amazing hmm..er.. I donno the word for tht in english.. in malayalam we call it kayyothukkam…
    Which means you say a lot with the subtlest of things..

    In this case, the colors used are very little in the whole canvas.. but its so effective…

    The whole mood it creates is superb…

    Wish I could paint like this!!

    [is this called water color because there is water in the painting?... what would you call it when you paint a mountain? A mountaincolor? ]

    Sorry.. can’t help being annoying :P

  3. told ya i like colours and this one is just what’s the mood is like during the monsoons.

    love the water and the scent of water soaked soil … nice job …:)

  4. Its giving a very soothing effect….luved it truly…

  5. This is superwow! :)

  6. where is this window you were looking out of??? It is such a soothing painting – and I love the washed, understated colours!!!

    (I think I need inspiration like that to pace up my posts !)

    @ Anuja – thanx! the understated colors were an experiment.. and reqd a hell lot of will power (everytime i just wanted to get a strong stroke of purple or haze across the sky, i had to make my brush meditate in the shallow water bowl for a min or 2)

    the vu’s from my bedroom’s window! can u blv? its bombay! uh.. i have just eliminated the Hotel’s building far across the lake and the hills – coz they were not fitting so well with the way i wanted (and also they were a little difficult to paint!!) ;) :D
