Inspiring people by motivating through art.

While cooking in the morning today, I just saw another magic of colours. Colour of wheat is brown. When it becomes a flour, it lightens its colour and looks whitish. When moulded as dough, it again changes in to bit darker. When heated for preparing Chapatis ( Indian Roti) it again lightens but when heated more turns black. Red chilly powder is also unique in such form. When you directly put in heated oil it turns black and when you add while a bit of water is already fried in other medium or after adding water it remains red and gives its spice and flavour. These are the examples of Balance while exploring the shades. Because of this reason may be cooking is also called Art. Here the desired shades are achieved by taking risks everytime, in a way of balance by using odd things. And practice makes everything perfect. Ask yourself, have you ever tried to use the resources which are around us to beautify your painting. It may be a dried leaf, a spoon, black pepper, detergent, used tea bags, or anything around you.  We all are explorers of Art, we dare everyday because we create paintings and share to the world via uploading. I have just tried that our oldest best buddies, which were our first art material, that is wax crayons give a beautiful texture and blend when tried to texture with heated knife. Wax melts a bit which becomes a bond of texture and blend. But yes, you have to bit careful.. In the age of earning, we all take different risks in pursuing jobs and business. Also we have taken so many chances, starting from proposing someone to getting married. Life is all about taking risks and enjoying. Trust me there will be no loss here in Art. Its like you have to try. Like it ,then pursue or forget and try something new. There might be art forms or other material which you might have wished to try but never explored as it may not be your subject. But everything you create matters and if it does not executed well, you may find something new in it ,which you never had. Even sky changes its colour from Sunrise to Sunset everyday. It do risks when clouds darken. Colours are the beauty of entire universe. We just need to see what we can find. Create... Explore... Learn... Stay Blessed...

Varnish is a good option to protect and preserve paintings for a long time..

Here in the West (and it may be in your part of the world too Manashree) we are constantly encouraged to try new products on the market. Some of us think it will make us better artists. You have shown that using items that naturally surround us can be used just as well. Quite a few artists are beginning to use coffee in their work. However there might be a worry that these natural products might fade as time goes on and we will lose our works. Perhaps we need to be braver in trying them out.
