Feels like losing in semifinals after ruining the cycle wheel in this painting.
Tried to draw a rain scene.. went well with the clouds and splatter.
Sketch
Sketched cycle carefully here and the umbrella. Two things I'm scared of drawing.. cycle for its simple complex nature and umbrella which I always end up like a coconut shell. This time it was 90% close.
Working on the background was very rewarding for its loose and expressive nature.
Painted umbrella.. this time it was easier as the sketch was better. Was happy about this .. untill I started working on the cycle tyres
Back wheel became too thick.. and more of oval than circle. The pencil lines got lost in the first layer. Finally used some white to correct it a bit here and there. Need to practice more cycles
