"Under the Shade"  
  Painting Water colour on paper
  
A composition in Wash Technique

How does It works?
This painting method on paper is called as a flat water wash technique. Working in this method, use a slightly cold pressed paper (canson sheets) having little texture and tape it around the edges on a board. After sketching the composition use thick color for painting.When the painting will get dry just wash it under cold water which washes away access water using round brush. Now the result you will get is a much tinted colour scheme where you can add details for adding more and more depth.
The whole painting gives a soothing feeling of colors used in the compositing.
This style also needs a lot of planing of areas to be left blank or filled with solid color. But it helps in making a plan before working something out and building again and again till you get it right.

Idea behind this composition:
In the below composition I thought of making two young priest one of which is sleeping and the other one is practicing his skill on music. This composition always make me remind of an Indian saying " करत-करत अभ्यास के जड़मति होत सुजान । रसरी आवत-जात के, सिल पर परत निशान ।।"
In English it means "Practice makes a man perfect"
