M. F. Husain

These are some paintings by M. F. Husain, a famous Indian artist who passed away last year. During his life, he won several high-standing awards, granted by the government of India. As an artist, he worked with many different themes from different religious backgrounds. Much of his work features deities of Catholicism, Buddhism and Hinduism.  I particularly appreciate his modern depictions of Hindu gods and goddesses (including the last image of the Hindu god, Ganesh).

Colored Gouache

As we are starting to work with colored Gouache, I wanted to investigate some paintings that were done with various colors. These are some of the colored gouache paintings that I thought were extremely good. Also attached is a color wheel, which we will be working on over next week or so.
