Lord Buddha is the epitome of calm and peace. Whenever I look at a painting or a statue of Buddha, it gives me power and boosts me up. The feeling is like that of being in a meditation room in which I feel calm, relaxed, and empowered. When I am working on a painting of Buddha, I feel like painting more and more because while working on it I am lost in my own world where there are no problems, worries, or hurt, just happiness, around me. Each painting narrates a different meaning of my life and holds a story.
This one is my third painting of Lord Buddha. I painted this while teaching in an online art workshop. I selected this for teaching portrait painting because, with this, we can learn various proportions, light & shadow, etc. in an easy way. I also taught how to draw realistic bamboo plants (that you can see in the background) and how to paint a halo.
