Lady Percussionists from the 20th century India ,from the middle suburbs..,

Lady Percussionists, my teenage study in poster color on paper

These lady percussionists belong to the middle suburbs of India of the middle half of the 20th Century, an image I had met with in a black and white photograph published in a photo journal of South India of that time.
I found it as nice one to be transformed into colors and thus made a study of the realistic image in poster colors on paper ,a medium  I had been adapted to use most frequently in my painting practices  during the teenage.

Lady from the Mountains, a photo realistic study !

 a photo realistic study from my teenage (Watercolor on paper)

This face is a photo-realistic study on paper in watercolor that I did in my teenage .The portraiture depicts the womanhood from the far Eastern Mountainous part of India.
I believe that I have done the smile of the lady quite well as such as it was found in the actual image !
