I was asked to make some paintings based on religious themes. Goddess Lakshmi, Bhagwan Mahavir in kausag mudra and dhyana mudra.
Goddess Lakshmi
Oil on canvas
91 cm x76 cm
For this one I took the reference elephant on the right from Raja Ravi Verma's painting of Lakshmi ji.
Mahavir in kausag mudra
Oil on canvas
91 cm x76 cm
Siddha Bhagwan in Dhyana mudra
Oil on canvas
76 cm x76 cm
They were done in 2 or 3 days each. So to speed up the drying process of oils, I had to add Liquin original. Not too happy with the results in terms of modeling the forms and handling the values. That is what I primarily learnt in Florence, but had very little time to work on those.
Nice work! The baby elephants are really cute. :-)
