I don't like to paint oil for simple reason that I do not like smell of turpentine and hate cleaning brushes. I hhave hardly used oils in my life but when I had to paint my own family then oil was only option :). this forgiving medium is obvious choice when you have to paint 3 faces

A delightful family portrait.
I understand your choice of oils for this, but I think you could have done them justice in any medium. Congrats, this is wonderful.
Ajay, that is a lovable family portrait you have created.. it gives such a wonderful feeling when you look at it, whenever I see a family portrait, it touches something deep inside my heart and this was no exception!
Mineke, Padmaja- thanks for liking the painting. I am not good at portarits and your comments do give required courage to attempt such paintings
For someone who doesn't like oils, this is jolly good Ajay! But I do think you should also try it in your medium of choice - I think you would do the family portrait justice in watercolour as well!
I also hate cleaning brushes ( and the mess!)so I sympathize with you, Ajay.This is a wonderful portrait.You ARE good at painting portraits!Why dont you try painting this one in watercolors too?
Liz, I will try this in watercolors someday, before that I plan to do few head studies from life.
Arti- great minds think alike :)
Congrats Ajay,
You have captured the expressions well. Will wait for the unforgiving watercolour version :)
Pravin,
As rains arive, I will stop painting outdoor and do few live face studies (in watercolores ofcource :))
This is a beautiful painting.
thanks Rishi
very nice Ajay...you three had a beautiful smile
