Italian masters

When it comes to art, the Italian masters like DaVinci, Caravaggio are followed throughout Europe and also rest of the world. 

I have six infinite series in golden ratio and am a Fibonacci. Golden ratio is important in art and is one of the main reasons why I pursue self learning in art.

(I practice music because my rhythms have deep Pythagoras theorem in them).

Anyways.

Here is an artwork of DaVinci. I feel it is the best art I have come across. 

Anyways. 

What do the masters like DaVinci and Caravaggio think of as important while drawing art? What should be in control the way we control horses?

Five horses to be controlled.

Lines. Light and planes. Mass. Position and direction.  Artistic anatomy. 

Thanks for reading. 

Have a nice day. 

Not enough possibly

I have two approximations methods. I thought these are very important and they explain human behavior. 

Newton was terrific and had two approximations which he brilliantly used. One in binomials and one in limits based dy by dx. Both of them talked of smaller than one and the fact that their squares become much smaller.

Newton was too bright and excellent.  

My approximations are a thumb rule sort of a thing.  Humans make thumb rules too. A sort of a guess. Let me not go to his house. It is 11:30 am and the guy must be in his office sorts.

My approximations will definitely help Indians in improving their thumb rules thinking.  

Jai Hind!!

Deep Mathematics

There are guys who think i, the complex number related paradigm that is the deepest.

I feel 1,x,x squared is the deepest.

i by itself doesn't have any meaning.  It is only square root of minus one. i into pi means a sway. And now Euler gave the formula of e to the power of i into pi plus one gives zero.  i is multiplied with numbers to get complex plane and is of great help in algebra.

1,x,x squared are of golden ratio and have a deep meaning to me. It says man is an entity.  Beginning with one it says a lot on practical aspects of numbers. If my theory is followed then you begin to understand infinite series,  binomials and approximations. Approximations are important aspect of a human being and my theory holds its importance. 

I have two approximations model now. One is AGP model and the other is x by a to the power of n in binomials. 

Now Taylor series is an exceptional genius model. Newton was a class of his own to give Cartesian coordinates all the while. Euler said it all. Even on  prime numbers . And Gauss was unbelievable in his genius. And Gauss was so rigorous.  Abel was so beautiful in his thoughts. 

Ramanujan was deeply curious and he got an integer. He worked with Professor Hardy and gave concepts of numbers in Ramanujan theta functions and Ramanujan tau functions.  I want to read mock theta functions and try to understand the deep sway in us.

Have a nice day !!

Final call on portraits

I had been hooked to portraits all these while.

Whether I can do hyper-realistic portraits? Whether there is finesse in art? Whether I can notice micro changes? Whether I can implement micro changes?

I don't think I can be in level 1 of portraits.  I am at level 3.

Here is a recent portrait drawn of Jayam Ravi. Ponniyin Selvan.  Raja raja chozhan. 

The portrait took two hours. Brustro skin tone colored pencils used. Brolaviya mobile stand used. DaVinci eye app used. Luna watercolor pencils used.  An HB pencil used.

Also I got for myself English shortened, kindle book on Ponniyin Selvan.  Though I read first three sections.  4th and 5th I hurried through.  I shall see in the movie.

Thanks for reading. 

Good bye for now.

An eye for quality

My stock ideas on mathematics is over.

My stock ideas on portraits drawing is through. 

But I want to contribute and keep blogging.  I plan to write on quality.  

Quality is damn important.  Edwards Deming and Shewart showed us the way, way back in 1940s and 1950s.

I shall be writing on quality and shall showcase certain quality products and services.  This is because I want to develop quality in all of us. This is vital for all of us.

I believe quality and good conscience can get rid of laziness and staticness. So quality is an immediate and important thrust area.

To begin with I want to talk on the quality of my  Brolaviya mobile stand.  It is pretty good. It has made it possible that I am able to apply my thoughts on portraits drawing.  

The stand was bought from Amazon.  It is sturdy. No rough edges. Easy to assemble.  And fix. And does not move a millimeter when used. It's mobile holder is also sturdy and the ball hinge made of stainless steel has sufficient grip.

A great product for artists and for YouTube video making. It can be used for sturdy group photos too, I think. 

No looking further

I am into portraits for the last three years at least. And I gained insight only yesterday.  Insight about approach. 

What is this world of portraits? And how it is relevant in India? And what is the impact on young Indians?

We never had a culture of portraits except for kings and great men. While in the western world drawing portraits was practiced a lot.

Today is the world of glamor.  There are high resolution cameras which can click the deepest pores. And then digital technology which can show these faces. And photo editing tools which can enhance these pictures. 

So the today's world of digital images is confusing and is difficult.  In fact impossible. 

Youngsters get confused. 

I have two solutions to it. One shading of different type. Two using watercolors along with shading of the type I am talking of.  These are of my Jesus and one can accept and follow them with open arms. 🙏 

Shading my way

Watercolor and shading my way

As my techniques closely follow the property of light and of water, they are foundational. 

I can't see youngsters spending upto 60 or more hours doing hyper-realistic portraits.  Some get wooden faces. Some have wrong shading.

I don't claim I am perfect. I claim I am complete. I may have errors. I may have shortcomings.  I think it is due to age. But my teachings are foundational. 

One may follow them partially too to get better results in their current method too.

Have a nice day.

My hyper-realistic portraits objective is not feasible

I did three portraits today. Yesterday I did not draw because it was Saraswati pooja.  Yesterday was a day for prayers only. Today was a day of practice.  And I did three portraits. 

Amisha Patel. Shyam Benegal. Karthi, of Ponniyin  Selvan I fame.

I realized I am good in macro tonal control only. Not micro tonal control.

And I am good in three shades only. White, shade 1 and darker than shade 1.

Also I am average in hair rendering. 

Under these circumstances hyper-realistic portraits are tough. Only realistic Portraits are feasible. 

If I get a guru and/or sit with a good artist perhaps I can become a hyper-realistic artist. But otherwise it seems impossible. 

Goodbye for now. Have a nice day!!

( I realized my drawings were not complete.  It is not about perfection.  But completeness. I am submitting a complete Art. To the best of my ability.  I am 54 years old)
