Chitrakut Falls, Oil on Canvas (24" x 30")
This is a painting of the beautiful Chitrakut Waterfalls in Chattisgarh. I did this from one of my wife's photographs. It has taken me nearly 2 weeks to complete this piece. The main problem I think was that if I do not paint for a couple of days, I would have to repaint everything to get that wet-in-wet continuity in the painting. Its been my experience that oil paintings dry a lot faster in summer than they do in winter. Special note must be taken of this especially when working on medium to large sized works which require more than one session.
Have you also experienced this? Can anyone tell me how one can get around this problem? All critiques and comments are welcome.
Thanks for visiting.

It is amazingly beautiful!! It looks photograph in one look..
I usually work in acrylics and they too dry very quick, so I use water spray to let it be wet for some time. I have no knowledge about oil..
Again, I have to say this is one of the fantastic work of yours.
Thank you so much Megha.
Great lights.. Loved it..
Thanks Prabal.

Thank you so much Carol, Anu and Pragya. I will surely paint many more oils.
I swear I thought I commented on your post already. But I guess not, or Blogger is up to devious tricks again. Anyways. . .
Beautiful painting Vinayak, the water looks so filled with motion. Really nice. You can feel the power of all that water. It's awesome:) And I don't have any experience with oils so I guess I'm no help there. Sorry!
Thanks Crystal. I agree blogger always has some tricks to play when we least expect.
