Hello everyone! Today I going to share a painting I did during the Ugadhi festival which was two days ago. It is actually the Telugu New Year. I am Telugu so I celebrated it with my family. It was quite simple. We just had some prayers and a good vegetarian meal. I exchanged my greetings with some friends and family.
I had some time left and decided to make an artwork related to the festival. I also missed using this medium as I gave it to my mother and didn't use it for a month or so. I enjoyed making this art but I got messy and some colours got under my nails -_- Anyway it was easy to clean.
Tools and Materials
- a sketchbook page
- a HB pencil
- oil pastels
- a dust free eraser to clean up smudges (it actually works!)
The Process
This is my first outline. I drew the pot first because it appears in the background.
Then, I drew some fruits, flowers, leaves and coconuts all around it.
This is the first item I coloured. I chose to start off with the bananas because they are yellow and I was a little paranoid I might accidentally smudge and since yellow is light, it will be harder to cover up.
Then I coloured the coconuts. They are broken coconuts so they look white on the inside. We do break coconuts during auspicious events and festivals which is why I included them in the drawing.
Next, I coloured the mangoes. Mangoes are actually one of the ingredients used to make a special meal called Ugadi Pachadi which is made and consumed on the day of the festival.
I moved on to colour all of the leaves. I used different shades of green on them so that they all look distinct from each other and from the mangoes.
I drew some flowers here and there and picked orange so they stand out among the other colours.
The pink item is just a saree cloth or it can also be a silk cloth used to cover the pot so it looks neater and has a pop of colour. I chose pink and reds so it gives me an opportunity to include these colours in the drawing.
I coloured the entire pot in golden brown and added some maroon and dark brown everywhere. It was not easy because this set of colour didn't have reddish brown and I had to create it by mixing colours. This is the final outcome of the artwork.
Here's another angle of the painting. I love how colourful it is as it contributes to the festive vibes.
By the way, I would like to wish all of my Muslim friends a blessed fasting month as the month of Ramadan has begun. Thank you for dropping by and I wish you a great day ahead.
