Market, psar, talat, pasar....

“Market” is one of my favorite subjects; I just love capturing the colors of markets. Painting a market is a good exercise to learn color combination. You don’t have to think too much about which colors to use, because you know the color of an apple is red, the color of mango is orange, and banana is yellow or greenish. It is also a good exercise to learn composition, as you have to arrange those fruits and things in a way that will be attractive to see… try it out!

As you can see, here are my attempts to paint a ‘market’ over the years...
