Watercolor Paintings: An Evening and a Forest

श़ब को गले लगाती शाम,

अपने घरों को जाते 

पंछियों से भरा,

सुर्ख़ आसमान।

वो दोस्तों से बातें करना

वो एक तारा ढ़ूंढने की कोशिश करना।

वो हवाएं हल्की-हल्की

वो घर जाने की जल्दी...

शाम अब भी हसीन होती है,

इंटरनेट के जाल में उलझकर,

हम देखना भूल जाते हैं, शायद।

I am participating in a colour-based art challenge on Instagram. Here, I am sharing my take on Umber and Brown colour.


The painting above is inspired by a lovely click by Namrata. She posted it on Instagram and I felt like painting.


When it comes to seeking inspiration, writers and artists have similar approach. Artist is a big word for me, but now that I paint, whenever I look at beautiful landscape/photos, I think 'Can I paint this?' Sometimes, they glare, as if saying, 'Tumhaari ye mazaal! {How dare you!}'


Here's another painting, a forest ---

And, this one ---

Just a practice painting {I was actually trying to paint a figure}. 

I have realized something that writing and painting are different in a very striking way. When I write something, I think it's good, but I don't like it when I revise it after some days. When I paint, I do not like it. I get up in the morning {I usually paint at night} and look at my painting, I think 'It's not that bad.'



I didn't like this painting initially {the left one got clumsy because of my impatience}, but now, I find it pleasant. You? :)
