Zendala Dare # 34

Heya Folks!

This week's Dare kinda sent me in a tizzy. No. Not because it was difficult. I just blanked out! I had the template in front of me and all I did was just STARE at it...like it was gonna grow a few tangles on its own!...(Yep - Better luck with that next time Tinks...!)

I always print 2 templates - one is a rough sketch and the other is what I post. This time around I had 2 Blank Pages! Well I finally got down to opening up Tangle Patterns ( U r such a God Send Linda!) and so here we go - My Zendala Dare # 34......

Ive used Echoism, Afterglo, Angelfish and CO2....

Cheers

Pencil Sketches...

Hey All Ye Lovely People...:)

Well its been a roller coaster of a few weeks and I was soooooo down....well I thought it would take me eons to get back on my feet. But the Lioness that I am (Yep a LEO and Proud..!) I decided enough was enough and took up my pencil and sketch book.....

So here goes.....

This one is of a couple....I saw a painting on Google and somehow Abstracts seem to lure me. Probably cuz Im not that good at proper figures...:)

I regularly look up youtube videos on Abstract Art and Contemporary Paintings. On one such journey I discoverd an Indian Contemporary Artist - Jagannatha Paul. I loved his pieces.....There was something ethreal about his Tree of Life series. And so have tried to do something similar in Pencil. Not a very good look alike. His was done in acrylics.....

Ok this is supposed to be an abstract of Meera Bai which I did a while ago...And when I showed it to my friend, guide, critique, all rolled into one.....well he said...."Medusa Like"...:P Well yep she does have that Medusa like effect cuz of the hair...:-D

I am forever inspired to do better at my art when I see other artists and their work and always learn something from everyone. Last month I was visiting India when I saw this piece of art by a local artist. More than the piece I was more intrigued by the technique used. I tried to reproduce that technique. I know its not a good replica but have tried. Unfortunately all I remember is the artists first name - Unni.

Whatever thats posted here is done by me. But all of them have been an inspiration from other artists. Being a learner I always see what others do and try to learn from them.

Cheers...

Zendala Dare # 33

Hi Folks,

Its been a rough few weeks and its still persistent. Pardon me for the feeble attempt here. My heart and mind is just not in it.

And now for the weekly Dare......

Cheers

Hearts.....:)

The week didnt begin really well for me. Work wise its been pretty hectic and kinda crazy here. And personally it hasnt really been very good either. But the one thing thats kept me a bit sane has been my art and the one friend whom Ive come to rely on so much.

So this is for my love of art and for that one friend....:)

Cheers....
Tinks....:)
