            “Let it go! Let it go! Can’t hold it back any more.” Does this ring any bells? This song went viral because of the profound life lesson that Elsa conveys that we should learn to accept things that are beyond our control.             But Elsa is not the first person who had taught us this important lesson. We had in fact been practicing this since childhood- thanks to watercolors! Water colour is usually the very first thing that we get our hands on, when we want to start painting. Remember when you used to draw a little house on a grass field, take your small  watercolor pads   , dip that tiny brush in a glass of water and be amazed as you watched the color spread on paper?            That’s the best thing about water colors! Water colors are an untamed spirit! They react with paper and other colors spontaneously and there is little you can do to control it. They teach you the art of living in this chaotic world.                             Owing to my profound love for  wa

          I had been wanting to explore black sketchbooks for a really long time. So, I purchased this 250-gsm square sized, True   Black Sketchbook   from Menorah. I had chosen a square size because I was sure that I wanted to do only portraits and small sized drawings. So, this was very apt for me. There are also A4 and A5 sizes available, if you are planning to do landscapes or just prefer to have more space while drawing. The quality was also exceptional and it was really worth it. The pages were so smooth that my pens could just glide on it. The color was truly black as mentioned and the final effect after drawing on the black paper sketchbook was just stunning.                                   These are materials that are required to do a drawing on your black sketchbook: Menorah’s True Black Sketchbook Pencil White gelly roll pen Different colours of gelly roll pens CALL UPON YOUR MUSE :                                    First things first, you got to decide what you are going

                              The world is usually in a frenzied state. The things that humans run after is endless. Caught up in this mayhem, we do not realize that art is everywhere. That art has always been a part and parcel of our lives. We fail to find time for things we enjoy the most. The child in us that likes to create is buried in an inaccessible place. It is not only adults, but also children who are subjected to this cold, monotonous routine. Not all children are encouraged to indulge in art. They are often pushed to focus only in their academics, to get that ideal job that can pay bills.                             The pandemic made everything topsy turvy. The mad rush came to a stop and people had plenty of time in their hands. It is an undeniable truth that the pandemic was a dark time. But it was also a period of renaissance, a time of rebirth, for the realm of art. Things moved at a slower pace, making us realise the importance of art and the huge role that art plays i

                                                                      Canvases were a popular medium among great artists like Da Vinci, Van Gogh and Monet. “The Starry Night”, “The Tempest”, “The water Lilies “and many more magnificent paintings have been created using a canvas.  So, why did the great masters prefer a canvas? The canvas serves as an excellent medium for art.  It is more resistant to becoming damp and it does not deteriorate easily. It allows more formats in painting like shadows and background. It is also light weight and portable. The best thing about a canvas is that the art that you have created can be framed, sold or gifted to someone.                                 Art is invaluable. All these great paintings have been preserved for hundreds of years and are worth billions. It is not just paintings by famous artists that are considered priceless. The value of art depends on the eyes of the beholder. There are several modern paintings that have been sold for milli
