Disha

Here's my first serious painting in like 2 years!!! 😳

Tbh, I was struggling to find any motivation to paint or even do anything related to art for so long! But when I stumbled across some wildlife photos on Pinterest , I couldn't resist but get the canvas and put it out there! I'm so excited and motivated, again, to finish a painting. Also, this is my first time using oil paints for a wildlife painting.

So far, I feel quite confident that I can do it despite the learning curves and no prior experience with oil paints. But let's see where we go from here! 😊

Here's the photo and the sketch. 😍

"Majestic Wisdom"
Acrylic on 4x5×1.5 inches canvas.

I was always skeptical about painting wildlife but now that I've started, I want to practice more, I want to experiment with different techniques and what not!

While I painted this, I was not sure about the background but my friend suggested I paint the background brown. What do you think? Should I paint it some other color or brown looks good?

"The more you practice the better you you'll get", this was something that was told by everyone from the day one.

1. Back in 2013, no idea, no knowledge about sketching or shading. Didn't even know they have different pencils for different shades.
2. 2014, when I realized I can sketch hahaha! I was so inspired by 's work and started "practicing". Initially, I was obsessed with sketching eyes, or should I say eye? :p
3. The first time I challenged myself, in 2016. It was so rewarding to finish that sketch that I couldn't let it part from me!
4. 2018, yet another challenge! The moment I saw this photo by , I knew I had sketch that. It was so different from everything I was use to sketch, pretty and challenging. I took almost 6 month to finish that(obviously I never had so much time or energy to finish it sooner)!
5. Same year I switched from sketching to acrylic paintings and my first painting was a cute lil sunset sky. This gave me so much confidence to go ahead and explore more with acrylics.
6. One of my best paintings from 2019. Very challenging as it was huge! Also, so many colors, I was skeptical!
7. 2020 was not much, but I tried my best and continued to impore myself.
8. 2021, here we are, currently painting a tiger portrait! Oh, that's freaking challenging. Painting each and every fur, I was not ready for that 😅 but going with the flow!

A little sneak-peek.
Also, why does avocados look so cute in paintings????

I know, I've been away for too long. But here's the last painting I did in 2020, "Sunset at Big Pond".
24x20 inches, acrylic on stretched canvas.

So excited and happy to be donating this painting to raise funds in support of Beirut.
