From the past - Acrylic painting on canvas

Recently found prints of some of my old portrait works which I did for my 2006 Leela Gallerie Exhibition. These works are sold. I used Camel acrylic paint tubes for creating these beautiful faces on 6" x 6" canvas. 

Later I went on to do still life paintings from live objects to get a better understanding of colours and values. Presently I am engaged in my landscape works and am developing my own technique and style, hence even though I get very tempted to other subjects, I restrain myself from doing so as I need to do a lot more landscapes or rather nature works which will be my concept in my upcoming exhibition in May this year.

6" x 6" Portrait Paintings on canvas.

Prints

While painting the above portraits I used the acrylic paints in diluted form ie quite in water colour way. A lot of glazing technique was used. 

Narkanda - Hatu peak. A painting done from reference photograph

Continuing with my 6" X 6" series of acrylics and oils , I used my reference photograph from Himachal Tour. Hatu Peak stands at 11,000 feet, 5 kms away from a small town in Narkanda. The view around was heavenly. The huge rocks around were piled up and created beautiful compositions. I had to edit my original photograph to get the composition that I was looking for.

Acrylic Painting of Guru Nanak by Manju Panchal

I created this acrylic Painting of Guru Nanak ( Religeous Guru of Sikh Community of India ) for a very
good friend of mine about ten years back. When I visited her recently I clicked a photograph of the
same so I could post it on my blog.

My old works always inspire me. I was very patient while doing this work as it involved a lot of shading
and acrylic paints dry very fast so I remember having used the Camel acrylic paints and I used it in
form to add layers. The size of the canvas board that I used for this work was 10" X 12".
