Still life 2

This was an interesting still life. First we did still life with its original colors. Then we had to paint the same still life with different colors. I used 2 objects, strawberry and shell. The effect was very different.

Still Life 1

After many years I am going back to oil painting. So I decided to start from the beginning. I started attending Oil Painting class at West Valley, a straight 5 hour class on Fridays.
I started with a still objects painting with just black and white and its shades. We had to make our own black color instead of the black color from the tube. That was a bit challenging.

Making Bread "Bhakri"

In my fourth semester, I decided to make a woman making bread, called bhakri. This is made out of sorghum flour and is done by hand. It is a village setting, where bhakri is the staple diet there. The stove is small with coal and wood. To make it even more authentic, I prepared a base with mud, clay and hay. As a backup, I also made a base with bronze.
