Piano

Ah, the sketch day is here! I took a break from Sunday Sketches last week, so I've been eagerly waiting for it this Sunday.
So my previous(and second ever) oil on paper was a dedication to Mr Picasso, this one, my 3rd Oil on Paper is dedicated to all the classical music artists, and to the lovely instrument, the Piano. Well a little bit of information about the Piano : Piano, short for Pianoforte', the terms "piano" and "forte" meaning "quiet" and "loud" respectively, when devised in 1707 as the very early and crude version, was called "harpsichord with soft and loud". 

And now over to the other wonderful artists' blogs.

  1. lovely painting. I do like the term 'pianoforte' better than just 'piano'. though it's probably because I read too much Jane Austen.

    have a sweet day.

  2. Beautiful. I can hear the keys tinkling...

  3. I like the softness of the strokes you used and that there isn't too much detail to distract us with. You can't tell if the pianist is inside a room or looking at the sunset.

A Dedication to Mr Picasso

I know i draw without taking any lessons and so most of my drawings might be technically incorrect (and sometimes hard to draw too), but at the end of the day, what matters is that i love it. This one is an Oil on Paper, my first proper oil on paper portrait. Took me about 4 hrs (i guess i should buy new brushes, they don't look so good . .) and now i can't breathe, thanks to the turpentine. Looking forward to your priceless feedback. :)   

Cinderella

I've not been at home, so couldn't draw anything nice and new, just posting something I made years ago, when I was in grade 2 or 3..don't remember exactly. Enjoy your Sunday! Really looking forward to all the wonderful works posted in Sunday Sketches this weekend. P.S. I shall draw something new and good when I go back home, definitely! Cinderella it is.
