Art Journals make me feel extraordinary feeling.

 A feeling that I can peek someone's Soul  for a moment. 

And I love these glimpses. 

I love these moments. 

Moments of truth.

They are so clear, so simple. 

And now the best word: alive.

Hot Day

This is a completely different picture from my sketchbook.

The reference photograph was captured

on a really really hot day by the sea

Phi Phi Island.

I realize that it is so much fun to paint humans.

Prior to that I had those really boring experiences from school-drawing lessons.

Hey, that could be fun!

Redefining figure painting.

Drawing lesson from Danny Gregory

I read his book. The Creative Licence. He set me free.

He made me think differently about art, about drawing. Such a relief. Old beliefs were thrown to bin- easily and happily.

He reminded me to play more. Art is about to play of ideas. He taught me how to go to museums- I was tired of museums before. He taught me how to deal with procrastination... well I needed this treatment no doubt. And that one about how to relate to critique. This book is a real life saver when one is stuck.

Here are the first couple of results. Even I see the incompleteness in them, they were fun to draw and paint. So I keep going, keep playing.
