Saurabh Bharara believes in representing lovely scenes through his art with his amazingly unique style. In this painting, he encapsulates a picturesque landscape that is hued in exotic colors and is worth flabbergasting the spectators. He hues the top of the canvas in spectacular Maya blue, sky blue and Carolina blue colors to depict the evening sky that is perfectly extended in a shade of yellow, purple. This beautiful scene is contrasted by the fantabulously stroked white mountain range that is tinted in a shade of light blue and orange to give it a realistic effect.

The artist tinges the green, olive, yellow and mustard colors in a perfect blend to represent a gorgeous and lush terrain with a grey path that meanders along the hilly landscape making it's way to grey and black shaded village houses. A lovely combination of magenta and scarlet red produces a lovely building which is roofed with black and blue tinted wood. The astonishing part of the painting is when this wonderful nature's twists over in delicate fingers to hold a white smart phone that captures this charming beauty in the memory of our planet.

This painting is an awestriking and thought provoking piece which not only entangles the viewers in its magic but also inspires them with the fine brush strokes that emblazon the canvas, blessing them with this lovely oil painted image, making it one of the most popular landscape paintings in the world of art.

Oil painting technique – India centric

Oil painting is the most interesting technique in art. Unlike other paintings or art forms, oil painting is a process in which colored pigments are painted on the canvas with a drying oil medium as a binder. This medium helps colors blend beautifully to create layers and also makes them appear rich and dense. Several varieties of oil are used in this painting such as sunflower oil, linseed oil, etc., and depending on the quality of the oil, a particular consistency of the paint is developed. With the use of an oil medium, the painting gets a natural sheen on the surface which appears extremely attractive. India is famous for its old tradition of making oil paintings. This art form was brought by Europeans in the 18th century and is now practiced by almost all well-known artists. Nirmal, a small tribal town in the state of Telangana is the center of traditional oil paintings in India where the local people practice it with dedication. Most Indian artists still use the traditional technique of oil painting.

Canvas of the required size is prepared

The artists use either a wood panel or canvas made from linen or cotton. Sometimes the canvas is stretched onto the wooden frame to form a solid base, or cardboard may be used. The canvas is coated with a layer of white paint or chalk mixed with animal glue. This mixture is then smoothed and dried to form a uniform, textured surface. The wooden panel is more expensive and heavier but its solidity is an advantage in making detailed paintings with ease.

Sketch is drawn on the canvas

Now the artist starts to draw the subject of the painting on the canvas using the actual charcoal or a charcoal pencil. Sometimes, he may sketch with thinned paint as well.

Oil paint is applied using paint brushes or palette knives

Now that the rough sketch is prepared, the artist is now ready to paint. Oil paint, a special paint that contains particles of pigments suspended in a drying oil (usually linseed oil), is again mixed with oil to make it thinner for applying it on the canvas. Proper consistency of the paint is maintained to avoid its breakage. The most important rule for the application of oil paint is “Fat over lean” in which the first layer of paint is thin and later, thicker layers are applied. This means that each additional layer of paint contains more oil. This results in getting a stable paint film. Traditionally, paint was applied using paint brushes but now the artists also use palette knives to create crisp strokes. To paint using this technique, the edge of the palette knife is used to create textured strokes that appear different from that of a paintbrush. Sometimes, oil paints are blended simply using fingers for getting the desired gradation.

Smaller oil paintings, with very fine detail, are relatively easier to paint than larger ones. The most attractive feature of these paintings is the natural shiny appearance that is obtained on the surface because of the use of oil paint. The blending of colors looks extremely realistic and this is the reason why oil paintings are loved by everyone throughout the world.
