A Landscape Painting in Oil- “After The Storm, Pine Knoll Shores ...

“After The Storm, Pine Knoll Shores”. Available. Oil on Linen. 20″x30″. Artist – Tesh Parekh I worked on this painting for a long time. That is quite a change from my live wedding paintings in watercolor and oil. Those commissions are completed on the same day. I also painted this during busy time of wedding photography and wedding painting commissions. There are some pictures which you have to make! I experienced this beautiful scene during one of my recent trips to North Carolina’s beautiful coast. I <a href="http://www.buypoloonline.com"><strong>polo shirts cheap</strong></a> had just finished photographing a family portrait sessionÂ*on the Pine Knoll Shores beach. The session was threatened by quick-moving storms. We stayed with our plan and were <a href="http://www.cheapestsportsjerseys.com/nfl-jerseys-arizona-cardinals-c-8_11.html"><strong>Arizona Cardinals</strong></a> lucky to get the beautiful light. Normally, I prefer to paint from life. But, I had no time and carried no painting equipment due to the rain. So, I snapped some photos. I used the photos as a reference but, most of the painting is my interpretation. This painting is also different from my other paintings in couple of ways. Apart from bristle brushes, I used watercolor brushes, mop brushes, paper towels and so on to apply the paint (the paint layer has brush hair which are now part of the painting). And one of the lessons I learned was that paints and tools are just that- tools. I am guilty of believing that only certain brands and brushes can do the job. In the end, your elbow grease and imagination matter as much! I started the painting with broad washes of paint rubbed in. I used limited palette and painted in layers. Many glazes, scumbles and impastos. I used very little white paint. I am working on other landscape <a href="http://www.cheappumas-shoes.com/puma-complete-velosis-c-24.html"><strong>Puma Complete Velosis</strong></a> paintings, both in watercolor and oil. My inspiration comes from walking in the little park in my neighborhood. While not full of awe-inspiring vistas like exotic places, I love this park just as much. I am not sure if it just a coincidence, but, I am also enjoying the works of Isaak <a href="http://gellarfan.org/##############/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=0"><strong >All You Need to Know about Women's Accessories | Celebrity News</strong></a> Levitan. If I ever make a trip to Russia, it will be to admire his paintings… - Tesh Parekh Artist, Photographer and Live Wedding Painter www.teshparekh.com www.raleighweddingpainter.com www.iwpphotography.com facebook.com/weddingpainter 919-622-5399 email: tesh@teshfineartphoto.com
