Old Red Bungalow
Another landscape/scenery, based on another one of my photos. I really enjoyed doing this one, and I am reasonably happy with it, though I wanted to enhance the lighting/mood a bit more. Again, painted using the RGBA Impasto brushes. The inspiration for this comes from this photo of mine. Obviously I have made a few…

Broken mountain road
Another landscape using the awesome RGBA brushes in Krita 5 beta 2. This one is inspired from one of my photographs. I have got a bit more comfortable with the RGBA impasto brushes and I improvised a bit from the reference photograph (one of my own photos) by making the road a bit more broken…

Another landscape – Cliff
Yet another landscape, painted using Krita 5 beta 2 RGBA impasto brushes. I am enjoying the impasto brushes in Krita. This is a landscape painted using the RGBA impasto brushes in Krita.

I thought of making this a monochrome painting , but I like the subtle colours of this one. I am still not 100% satisfied with digitally painting landscapes…

Portrait of late actor ‘Major’ Sundarrajan
A portrait of late Tamil actor ‘Major’ Sundarrajan. Painted using Krita with my XP-Pen Artist 10S. For those who are not aware, ‘Major’ Sundarrajan was a distinctive actor in his time, holding his own again giants like MGR and Sivaji Ganesan with excellent character roles. The ‘Major’ sobriquet is from his iconic role in the…

Painting of a dog
Painting of a dog done in Krita with my XP-Pen Artist 10s. Drawing an animal is a good diversion from my usual portraits as I don’t have to worry about getting the likeness exactly like I would in a human. This is one where I’ve captured the painting process in a timelapse video. This is…
