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

“After The Storm, Pine Knoll Shores”. Available. Oil on <a href="http://www.suprasforcheap.com/supra-051-mens-pure-white-p-289.html"><strong>supra 051 mens pure white</strong></a> 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 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 lucky to get the beautiful light. Normally, I prefer to paint from life. But, I had no time and carried no painting <a href="http://www.monsterbeatsbydree.com/"><strong>dre headphones</strong></a> 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 <a href="http://www.suprasforcheap.com/men-supra-skytop-fashion-shoes-blue-black-white-p-215.html"><strong>men supra skytop fashion shoes blue black white</strong></a> 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 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, <a href="http://www.kristinkreukweb.com/##############/displayimage.php?album=random&cat=0&pos=-37330"><strong>Time Capsules: Best Men's Watches – Pierre Kunz Insanity ...</strong></a> but, I am also enjoying the works of Isaak 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
