DIY- Abstract painting

 Although I have been experimenting with different art mediums for over a decade or so..I have never used acrylic paints before * very lame*. I guess I was always the "use oils of canvas" kind of a person.   But recently  I noticed that acrylics were used more often and  of course why not.... it doesn't take a million years like oils to dry up....so you can paint.. frame and get your painting on the wall.... in a span of a week...

So I took a trip to Michaels and bought myself some acrylic paints. I wanted to start with experimenting with using layers of paint in an abstract art form and see for myself , how well the colors mix up compared to oils....

Below is my experiment.... and I am pretty pleased with it too..Take a look..... TAAADAAA..

Still have to find an apt place for it... but for now I think it looks perfect here !!!

 Happy Labour Day Weekend!!!

The window...



I  bought a huge sheet of rice paper with the intention of painting it.  But instead, used it all for a project at grad school.  At the end of it all there was a tiny strip of paper( ~7 inches x 4 inches) left behind and  I really  didn't want to throw it away.........  then I painted "The Window".  The paints that I used here are simple water colors..nothing complicated :).  Although I have tried experimenting different styles of paintings but impressionism is what I love painting...
