Orange Hills

This time I kept my promise to be back soon! :)

And this time I worked using poster colours instead of the usual acrylics. Well, poster colours spread better with water but the colours do not have as much vibrancy as the acrylics do.

I also captured the progress of my work through its various stages. So the first wash looked like this.


After the first wash was completely dry, I worked on the details of the railway track and its surroundings.


Then the final painting turned out this way....


My inspiration photograph for this painting came from the very interesting travel blog of Mridula Dwivedi called Travel Tales From India.


This picture was taken on a walk from Barog to Solan during one of Mridula's trips to the Himachal, accompanied by her young nephews. Click here to read the associated article.
