A Landscape Painting in Oil- “After The Storm, Pine Knoll Shores ...

“After The Storm, Pine Knoll Shores”. Available. Oil on <a href="http://www.salehandbagsbags.com/"><strong>cheap Coach handbags for sale</strong></a> Linen. 20″x30″. Artist – Tesh Parekh I worked on this painting for a long time. That is quite a change from my live wedding paintings in watercolor and oil. Those commissions are completed on the same day. I also painted this during busy time of wedding photography and wedding painting commissions. There are some pictures which you have to make! I experienced this beautiful scene during one of my recent trips to North Carolina’s beautiful coast. I had just finished photographing a family portrait sessionÂ*on the Pine Knoll Shores beach. The session was threatened by quick-moving storms. We stayed with our plan and were lucky to get the beautiful light. Normally, I prefer to paint from life. But, I had no time and carried no painting equipment due to the rain. So, I snapped some photos. I used the photos as a reference <a href="http://www.salehandbagsbags.com/"><strong>cheap Chanel handbags for sale</strong></a> but, most of the painting is my interpretation. This painting is also different from my other paintings in couple of ways. Apart from bristle brushes, I used watercolor brushes, mop brushes, paper towels and so on to apply the paint (the paint layer has brush hair which are now part of the painting). And one of <a href="http://www.salehandbagsbags.com"><strong>lv handbags</strong></a> the lessons I learned was that paints and tools are just that- tools. I am guilty of believing that only certain brands and brushes can do the job. In the end, your elbow grease and imagination matter as much! I started the painting with broad washes of paint rubbed in. I used limited palette and painted in layers. Many glazes, scumbles and impastos. I used very little white paint. I am working on other landscape paintings, both in watercolor and oil. My inspiration comes from walking in the little park in my neighborhood. While not full of awe-inspiring vistas like exotic places, I love this park just as much. I am not sure if it just a coincidence, but, I am also enjoying the works of Isaak Levitan. If I ever make a trip to Russia, it will be to admire his paintings… - Tesh Parekh Artist, <a href="http://041823.com/view.php?id=29742"><strong>Cheap Balenciaga bag online store - Balenciaga bag</strong></a> Photographer and Live Wedding Painter www.teshparekh.com www.raleighweddingpainter.com www.iwpphotography.com facebook.com/weddingpainter 919-622-5399 email: tesh@teshfineartphoto.com
