Embellishments!

When working on a painting, I've often come to a point where I realize that it needs "a little something extra" to make it look finished. While exploring the local craft store, I came across some embellishments that seem to do the trick!

"Puppet Show" is a great example of a case in which embellishments really lifted up the object of the painting! The first picture shows the painting when I had finished the piece, while the second picture shows the complete work of art after the embellishments were added! 

Notice how the small elements really tied together the painting, and created a 3D effect that catches the eye!

"Cuckoon Bird" is a painting that completely relies on the 3D flower embellishments to make a statement. Without the flowers, the piece would be quite bland.

New Custom Orders!

We've been lucky enough to get a few custom orders lately! Here are some of the pieces that we've completed in the month of June!

"Purple Tree" is a large 2ft x 3ft gallery wrapped canvas, and depicts a simple tree with flowers against a background shaded with purple hues! Each flower was shaped differently in comparison with its neighbor, and the tree itself is a totally odd shape!

"Red Moon"  is a 18x24in gallery-wrapped canvas that was inspired by a cherry blossom painting I had seen a while back. It depicts the branch of a white flower tree in the moonlight, while a howling wind blows by. This piece contained many small elements that made a huge impact on the final product!

Springtime Inspiration

Spring is here, which means that inspiration is all around us! The budding flowers and baby animals are great for painting! I just finished a few pieces that I think embodies everything that spring has to offer: color, vibrancy, and the inherent notion of happiness. Let the inspiration flow!

Spring gives us a reason to celebrate! ShishyaArt is having a SPRING CLEANING SALE! Some of the pieces in our store are currently listed at 50% off their original prices to make room for more unique artwork!! Returning customers will also receive 10% off their orders!

Another reason to celebrate is that ShishyaArt has officially crossed the $250 mark in raising funds for underprivileged children! We have decided to donate all the money that we collect to a new school in Chennai, India. The money will go towards housing, feeding, clothing, and educating children from underprivileged backgrounds. We're hoping that we can reach our goal of $500 before the end of the year! More information on this later!

A New First!

ShishyaArt is making new waves! I recently finished my first custom order of my first large-scale painting! Having never painted such a big piece brought on some new challenges, but it worked out in the end. 

Inspired by nature and some of my previous artwork, I call it "Sunset." This is a 24inx48in piece on a gallery-wrapped mounted canvas.

Dancing Ganesha

My grandparents are visiting this summer, and I wanted to get a head start on making something special for them to hang in their newly-renovated house. I definitely wanted to make something traditional, but artistic all the same. I finally came up with an idea that I thought would fit the bill. My parents have had a little brass statue of a dancing Ganesha in our house since I was little. That was my inspiration. It looked something like this image I found online: 

And this is the final product!

It's an 8x10 stretched canvas on a mounted wooden frame. The paint is all acrylic, but the flowers are high-gloss, which really makes them pop!

I'm hoping to make another 8x10 to match with it so they can be side-by-side. I just need an idea.
