ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Another book of digital paintings has been in the burner for about two years. I used to upload individual paintings of this book on Instagram during that period and used to get some comments. I am indebted my parents, my well-wishers and family, who have believed in my creativity and tenacity in pursuing the creative instincts. Medha and Jayashree never shied away from offering interesting comments. Narayanan Krishnaswamy
PREFACE This booklet of water colour style paintings are the result of long cherished desire. Three factors motivated me in doing this project. The first one is doing water colour portraits, second one is the ‘multi-faceted’ human faces I come across day in and day out and the third is, I had not done a painting of human portrait since my school days. Though time was not a major constraint, mood and opportunity were indeed playing the truant. That, I had resolved by doing these twenty paintings when I travel. One for each trip and sometimes one in to and fro journeys of the trip. In fact, the subject for the painting was chosen at the airport lobbies, lounges or in the seats nearby. The impact of the chosen subject made on the artist decided the colour scheme. The style is pen and ink and water colour. These paintings have been done using iPad Mini 3 and Wacom Bamboo Fineline 3 Stylus with Adobe Photoshop Sketch and saved as PNG files. This booklet is intended to serve as an inspiration for those who are into portraiture and digital painting and connoisseurs of art. Narayanan Krishnaswamy
