  • More traditional watercolour landscapes

    More traditional watercolour landscapes

    Two more paintings done recently in watercolours. I am enjoying the traditional media, especially the interaction of the brushes with water, paint and paper. It’s both challenging and fun, and I am hoping to improve my technique as I create more pieces. The mountain road was a bit of a disappointment for me, especially with…

    Traditional watercolour painting

    After a long time, I’ve done a traditional watercolour painting. After painting digital for a long time, it was nice to head back to traditional media with its challenges and limitations. I felt quite anxious about this one, but decided to be bold and go ahead with painting freely. I think it has come out…

    “Night Driving”

    This time I wanted to paint something atmospheric and from imagination. Done with Krita using the RGBA brushes on my XP-Pen Artist 10s as usual. For this piece, I went with my imagination and had a lot of fun doing the damaged road. On many Indian roads damaged sections are sometimes marked with a branch…

    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

    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

    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 am really enjoying these brushes, as they give a genuine oil knife painting effect to digital art. Mimicking real media using digital…
