The show will be on view from the 1st of Sep. till the 19th. Works of each artist will be displayed for a period of one week and then will be replaced with another artist's works.

Tranquil

Watercolor on Paper ( 11" x 15" )

I have been using mostly watercolor cakes for my paintings.Recently I bought a new set of good quality watercolor tubes.The old set had become rock hard as they weren't used for a long time.Do they have to be thrown away or is there still a way to use them?
This painting was done with the new set.I must say I was not very comfortable in using these but I guess with regular usage they will be easier to handle!

The Turquoise Dress

Soft Pastels on Paper ( 15" x 20" inches )

I liked the contrast colors of the dress and the grayish wall and the way the light was falling on the turquoise dress.I just had to paint this!
P.S. Though I tried several times, the image didn't come out very well.The original looks much better!
