DRY BRUSH PAINTING TECHNIQUE


 Dry brush painting is a special technique where almost no water is used. Take a paper and draw anything you like, with pencil.Then take a water colour brush. Wet the brush with water and then press a tissue paper over it and squeeze out the excess water. Then load colour into the brush and put strokes on the drawing.

The colour effect takes a dry look and the strokes of the brush hair remains visible. Base colour and highlight both are done in the same process.Wash out the brush and then again take the second colour.Here is an example of dry brush painting. You can observe minutely how the thing is done and try it yourself at home .

Beautiful pictures and portraits are done using this technique. Always load your brush with a minimum amount of colour. Don't overload your brush with too much raw colour. You can load one brush with two colours at the same time. The technique needs care and intelligent handling of colour and brush.

 Once in a sunny morning, I was playing with dewdrops, My mood was a little tensed  But I was ready to cross the fence.

DEATH OF BHOKU- My Pet Parrot

Image
 Bhoku was my pet parrot in childhood days.I always prayed for her long life. And prayed that her death should be calm and sound when the day will come. God granted my wish. When she died. Only one day she suffered from fever. Then left us forever. But her soul was always with me. I was in 12 th standard when she died. We decorated her bed with pillows and flowers. Decorated her as a Goddess with ghagra choli, crown and other ornaments, Lying down on a small bed. Then made this tomb. With a tub, and cement, buried her. under soil where she is still lying down peacefully. With garland and diya I pay respect to her on her death day. This tomb is like a temple to me.  I cherish her memory and Much respect for her new life.
