Onions and Onions
29th September 2023 Lavender and Beena Hello, guys. I have posted a painting by Lavender. She painted onions with poster colours. They look like a watercolour painting. She has demonstrated the transparency of the onion skin remarkably well. There are many varieties of onions with varying tastes and uses. I love onions and…
Hanging Lobster Claw Heliconia
Hello everyone, I am posting “The Heliconia”, painted by Angela using poster colours. I love the vibrant colours that she used for this beautiful plant. She must have layered the colours multiple times to get those vibrant colours😂. I find poster colours challenging as blending is not as easy as watercolour. This one is the…
The Beach
24th September 2023 Mr. Nandakumar I painted Kovalam Beach in Trivandrum using acrylic paint. Kovalam Beach became famous for tourists in 1930. Since then, we have seen tourists flocking to this beautiful piece of paradise every year. The beach is situated on the Arabian Sea and is ideal for swimming, surfing, parasailing or sunbathing….
The Odd One

Why wear a Crown?
14th September Mr Nandakumar I painted the headgear worn by a Tribal community in watercolour. In my observation, those who wore headgear were the leaders in their community. Others may wear headgear, but the design denotes their position in their community. When we look at civilization, Kings and Queens wore headgear. It…
Untold Stories
14th September 2023 Mr Mani Menon I drew this with a pencil. I feel trees tell their own story. When I finished, I felt that the tree top resembled a mushroom. The tree trunk appears somewhat convoluted, like the stem of the mushroom. For a tree to appear elaborate, it has to age….
Let There Be Light
14th September 2023 Mr Nanadakumar This is a watercolour painting. Trees are always fascinating. Especially when they are old. In Kerala, we conserve our old trees. They have so much character in them. They provide shade for us in this heat and are the abode for birds, bats and many other living creatures….
