Later he demonstrated how to draw a tree, lot of inputs were given to the participants, their were watching him painting carefully so that they could imitate the same.  I was also telling them to observe his style  of painting, handling the brush and maintaining the pallet.  Finally when the work was done most of them were anxious to paint.  Immediatedly they all started to paint different tree.  Most of them selected the same tree which Venu had worked, so that they could see his work and imitate it.

Some also tried different trees, they were so involved in the work that  they were shocked to know the time, it was already 2:15 when some of them had finished their work and were discussing with Venu.  He also corrected their work and some minor correction were done.

Class  No. 3 of Art of Water Colour was scheduled at Lalbagh on 30th October, but due to bad weather the class was cancelled and postponed for   November 1st which was  a general holiday.

Later when everybody were present  he painted a view of Kempegowda tower with sky.  All participants were showed how to treat sky and rock.  Everybody watched Venu while rain used to play hide and seek.  We all were worried it might rain, but clouds moved ahead without a single drop of rain.  Finally work was finished and everybody started clicking a picture through their cell phones.

After seeing todays works one can expect a good result from these people.  The fear of applying colour had gone and  can see them working with more confidence in future classes.

Class 2, Art of Water Colour

23rd October 2011

Class No. 2 was scheduled at Cubbon Park.  Most of them were present at the scheduled place (Bala Bhawan) gate in time.  Some were yet to come and I was waiting for them, since some of them were familiar with the location I sent them along with Venu to the location.

The Days subject was painting from nature.

Usually we start with a warm up, that is we tell all the participants to sketch for 15 to 20 minutes. Similarly everybody started sketching,  Each one selected their own subject like some choosed the nearby rock and some trees, some also sketched the bamboo tree which was clearly visible. Venu corrected them one by one, he also demonstrated a drawing.
