Medium: Oil pastels on Sandboard
Size : 11" X 9"
This painting is oil pastels on Sandboard ( as I call it ). Sandboard is nothing but Sandpaper pasted on a thin wooden ply or compressed board. And this provides excellent texture for pastels. If you love working with oil pastels then this is a must try.
Coming on to the Sadhu...I just love this composition and anyone who is from India or understands India will find this painting very engaging. And what makes it interesting is the idea of the Sadhu holding a Beedi ( handcrafted cigarette) along with his usual kamandal ( Water vessel ) and Lathi (Wooden Stick). The credit for this idea...I mean sadhu holding the cigar goes to my art instructor " Sirish Sir" from whom I learned oil pastels and drawing.
