Masking the smile
Look around you.
What you see?
It's a world trapped behind some masks, isn't it?
A couple years back the life were good here. No masks, No quarantine. How beautiful was it!
But now we all are trapped somewhere behind their masks. A life where we need to move something to see even a simple smile. Everybody expects this will end tomorrow or the next day or the next month, but still goes. Like it is becoming a way of life.
Don't lose hope. Don't allow anyone to feel lonely because of this. Even if others can't see we smiles,
Everytime, when we see those who are meant to us.
That's life.

Acrylic paints
Tools used
Acrylic colours
Brushes - Flat 2, 4
Paper - A5, 320gsm
Masking tape
Colour mixing pallet
Extras
While taking photos of the painting it was difficult to get rid of the light reflections. So I used some reflectors and shields with some cloth and used the natural light for capturing.
Making of the Painting
Fixed the paper using the masking tape on a flat board.
Took the required colours mostly blue and green on the pallet. Did some mixing.
There wasn't need of any sketches so I went with direct applying of colours on the paper.
