My first portrait drew with charcoal              Hello friends!!!!  Welcome to my 4th blog. Today I'm going to present you about my new try. Wish all of you read this and have a fun. As I mentioned before in my early blogs an artist must be a versatile person and he or she must try different methods.This is about my attempts with charcoal.                I started portrait drawings after my A/L's. In the very first I used just pencils such as 2H, 2B, 5B,10B,12B,etc. but I got and advise from my friend to try on charcoal. So I tried it."Oh! wow!It's really amazing." That's what I felt at the beginning.I t generated the original black colour which I search for. When I started this it was hard to me. At the beginning it appeared everywhere in my papers but I tried again and again. And now I know how to use this medium while keeping the paper clean. Though the color is black it makes a stran...

              I am a kind of a person who enjoy my life in every second.  One way that I enjoy my life is traveling. I have visited many beautiful places in Sri Lanka with my family members and with my friends.When I travel I always love to collect memories to my life. So that I use to carry a camera where ever I go as I think a photograph is a form of visual storytelling. Not only that they can refresh our mind any time.                                   Most of the time I try to capture beautiful views in nature because I think nature is the mother of all living and non-living things.Aren't you think the most beautiful things are in the nature?Yes , it is. However it's a great hobby that is different than drawing because photography is an immediate reaction. Before the end I would like t...

ALL IN BLACK........               What did you feel when you see the topic? It's such strange, isn't it? So today I'm going to present you something such strange like the topic. This is about the art that I spent a long time to finish and I think it's my best pen art. It represents a ballet dancing couple.               Most of the artist try just only one or two methods. But I believe an artist must be unique and versatile. So that I always try to do new things and get a pleasure on it. This art is fully done with black gel pens. It took about 3 days to finish my art work and 3 black pens were finished when I finish my work. It’s not too easy to pay attention on one art work for 3 days, but I never gave it up. So my invitation goes to my friends to try such new methods.                Finally, I would like to...

  First Step With Palette Knives                   As soon as anyone sees these tools , they ask whether you can do a painting with them? Why not? It's such an amazing method. So I thought to share my experience about my first painting which was done with those tools. We call them as "palette knives". My art sir introduced me those tools when I was in grade 12. At the beginning it was difficult to understand that method as I had never experienced it before. But my art sir encouraged me to do that. After practicing how to handle those tools and how to apply paint with them I felt that it was such a fantastic method. There's another special thing that I have to say about choosing the topic for my painting. When I was seeking for a topic for my painting my mined flooded with the memories which I had in Gallle. So I decided to do my painting about the "Ritipanna fishing method" which is very famous in that area. ...
