Story and artwork from Rashme Sawhney
I’m a self taught artist and live in Florida.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. Paintings are one of the oldest known human forms of art, I make paintings on canvas with oil. And sometimes acrylics. Used brushes, palette knives, fingers and other tools. I take into consideration.
What is the original purpose of the painting? Who is the intended audience? Where is the painting created and located? What is the subject of the painting?
My mindset in Florida is different then in Maryland when I am visiting my children. When you are analyzing a painting, one of the first things I look at is the use of color. Do one or two colors predominate? Are the colors bright, subdued, light or dark. How does that choice of medium affect the appearance of the finished. I love my paintings to be bright.
Brushstrokes are one of the key elements in analyzing a painting. While there are many the most common way is to use a brush. The amount of paint i put on the brush and the pressure and motion used to apply it to the surface being painted affect the overall appearance of the work. Brushstrokes can be highly individual, and a mark of a particular personal style. Within a specific painting, brushstrokes may be nearly invisible, if a painter wants to achieve a smooth surface, or they can be used to create an effect or add detail.
The size of a painting can be difficult to evaluate, especially since nowadays we often see paintings only as reproductions, in books or online. However, my paintings are original
In landscape painting, the focus is on the scenery—trees, rivers, mountains, fields, sky, etc. Is there any human interaction with the land, or any signs of human impact on the environment.
