Book: Charcoal Portraits – Sanjay Shelar

Anant Kulkarni has a long teaching experience in one of the best Art Schools in India, Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai. Besides teaching he is working as a freelance Illustrator and Designer, with his own style and approach. He gives utmost importance to concept building in his work. These works will inspire art school students, professional artists and art lovers too.

Renowned artist Chandramohan Kulkarni has created a lot of work on Apple ipad with apps like ArtRage, Layers Pro and so on. Here he talks about the technical aspects of painting, and how to handle digital media most effectively.

In this book, Mulick has depicted moods and colours of nature in a different way. These paintings are random flows. Combinations of different colours, tonal patches and brushstrokes. Sometimes the strokes caress each other gently, revealing natural forms.

Amply illustrated and written in an easy narrative style, Mulick demystifies the seemingly difficult subject and helps the art student to allay his anxieties about ‘getting it right’. In fact, few books have dared to venture into this territory and Mulick has successfully conveyed the concept, staying clear of complex definitions and methods; used traditionally.
