Sai Baba In Tanjore

Sai Baba in Tanjore was like portrait in Tanjore. It was a difficult task but I enjoyed working on him. But believe me, i ended up working on the face for more than 10 times, because the poster colors started reversing on me. It never happen to me but on this some how the colors started cracking, uneven, air bubbles what not. So i ended up raising the face with marble powder and fevocol just like how we do relief work. Also i realized painting Baba's eyes is not easy. His eyes have this soft, glittery, divine and aged. Finally after several attempts, i am happy the way it turned.

See for your self and comment, your comments will be encouraging and we can discuss about the painting too.

This is done on  12" x 16" water proof board.
