Vaduvur Ramar -1


First attempt at painting the processional deities of Sri Kodhandaramar temple at Vaduvur.
Despite long hours(almost 3 weekends) I messed up the backdrop and also the detailing.
Disappointed with the outcome. More practice/patience needed I suppose.

hi Prasad,

You are too harsh on yourself - its really stunning. some more blue and darker green might have brought depth

cheers

@Params: Thanks da!.

@VJ: I wanted to detail the zari works too.
I accidentally applied too much water on the background and the paper started thinning. Lesson learnt!
