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!

    Hallo Ramesh, it's been a long time I came along.
    How beautiful this painting is, even if this is a photo of your original! The dress, the girl, the colors, the light, the pose... Bravo!

    I love everything about this Ramesh. The far away look on her face and relaxed body language and of course the beautifully intense color palette and wonderful use of light and dark. Absolutely gorgeous!

    Dear Ramesh, I like very much this soft pastel painting. I want to tell you, to reply your question, that soft pastel doesn't support more than three touches with pastel: more than it gives you an "Analive" work, how to say it....the work dye it all, as if the light had gone away...It's something similar as in watercolor when you insist too much and then you get a "dirty" watercolor. I hope I'm been able to help you.

    Big hug.

    Enrique.
