This is the title of my new painting and the subject of this Post, which is in fact my first attempt at a portrait composition. Surely every artist has her/his own signature way of drawing the faces, features and the subjects.  I intended to explore my take on this, as i had been looking to add a face in my paintings. I used acrylics together with Art Grip Aquarelle ( which is kind of water-soluble color pencils). For the background, i made a paper collage, colored it and distressed it. Below it is what it looked like initially:

And here is the final result:

Although i am not happy with the way our scanner failed to reproduce the pink colors accurately which are so important in the background, but am sharing it anyhow.

Thanks for looking.

As i see it, my 5-year old girlie, Tia is quite good at drawing. I promised her that i’ll put her work up on the “internet” together with mine. So, finally i am creating a new page to showcase her past and present work.

Here is the direct jump to the page: http://www.anshuahuja.com/tia

It’s like we kind of feed on each other’s work/vibes;  i am inspired by how imaginative or unrestrained a child’s work can be and she’s always very eager to pass on her suggestions about what colors should i choose in my paintings :). And we both like colorful and bright palette and pink is our favorite.

Thanks for looking.
