Gifted 'GIFT'.
Hello Friends, Its good to be back with you.....sharing my new painting with stages it passed through. I've always believed that " A GREAT PAINTING IS A MOMENT CAPTURED". " TO REALLY CAPTURE THE QUALITY OF A SUBJECT, YOU MUST HAVE A FEELING ABOUT IT BEYOND ITS LITERAL QUALITIES". I wonder why so many young artists here in Nigeria believe painting realistically is a "MECHANICAL ACT". Its very funny listening to most of these artists preach their gospel of ESCAPEEISM, believing you're creative as an artist only if you DISTORT REALITY. ....... I guess this observation of mine will be continued later. Here is my recent watercolour painting titled 'GIFT'. Its painted on a 200gm cold pressed Vangogh watercolour paper, 46cm x55cm and believe me, I had great fun painting her. STAGE ONE, Since Watercolour is a delicate medium to handle, I do lots of planning before apply
