shaddow and light ... the other side of my soul

this is one of my paintings in coming exhibition of Shargh Watercolorists Group in Iran.
 when I check my thoughts and my styles one of the dominant parts is the light and shaddow 
....
I think that this is the essence of watercolor painting that it reveals the artists soul and inner thoughts .. 
and I like this aspect of this medium
in real life the light seeking and knowing the darkness is one of my continuous endeavors ... 
and of course my world is in pure light ... with dark shadows ...

the flowers and the Lady in red

this was a painting that I did it when my baby " Bahar " was sleeping in my arms .. 
and this was a vase of flowers ... 
i tried to capture the calmness of this composition and the brilliance of that rose in red ... 
it seems to me that it is like " the lady in Red" 
Dear Bahar, you are my lovely lady ... 
and I imagine the night that you wear your Red night dress as a bride . 
love 
Father

new event ... new born .... و تو متولد شدی

this post is not related to watercolor directly, but it had a great effects on me and the way I look at the world .
it is about a month that i step in a new world and I become father.
now I am the father of a girl, a beautiful girl. this is a great feeling and I suddenly find myself in Wonderland.
my daughters name is " Bahar" ( in persian it means Spring. the spring season. ) and i feel the spring breeze and the blossoms in her lovely face.
 the cutie in her fathers hug. and the painting of a bunch of flower . 
i do believe that you are more beautiful than the flowers. 
kiss. 
welcome home dear Bahar . 
love 
your father .

watercolor quote 038... کلمات آبرنگی

No re-creation, express your interpretation. 
Alvaro Castagnet . 

سعی در باز سازی عینی نکنید بلکه برداشت خود را ارایه دهید...
آلوارو کاستاگنت. 

تلاش در ارایه درک از فضا و حس آن تلاش من است و در این مسیر کاستاگنت همراه بسیار خوبی است 
اولین کتاب حرفه ای و جذاب آبرنگ که خواندم که مرا تا مدت ها مست خود کرده بود کتاب "نقاشی با شور و اشتیاق " اثر این استاد بزرگ بود 
شاید تمام تلاش های بعدی من بر اثر گرمای این کتاب ادامه یافته است 
هنوز هم این کتاب محل رجوع من است و از خواندن دوباره آن لذت می برم 
اما نکته ای که وجود دارد حرکت و رشد کاستاگنت در طی این حدود 10 سال از زمان آن کتاب بوده است ... 
آبرنگ مسیری است بی انتها .. 
مسیری لذت بخش ...

watercolor quote 038 ... کلمات آبرنگی

this " watercolor quote " is a part of the Watercolor Impression DVD of Joseph zbukvic. 
i think Joseph is the best teacher in watercolor ... 
his words are like diamonds... 
I really appreciate studying watercolor with him ...
and I have to inform you that Joseph has re-freshed his gallery of painting on his website...
Dont miss the opportunity to visit his website and this collection of new magnificent pieces of ART.

در این پست کلمات آبرنگی ترجیح می دهم قسمتی از صحبت های استاد زبوکویچ را بگذارم
پیرامون آتلیه و نگرش او به آبرنگ
زبوکویچ از نظر من بهترین معلم آبرنگ سطوح پیشرفته است که من می شناسم
او داشته هایش را کاملا متواضعانه به بهترین کلام بیان می کند
و هیچ گاه از همراهی با او خسته نمی شوی
 در رابطه با آتتلیه این پست من را نیز ببینید
همچنین جوزف مجموعه کارهای جدیدش را در در وب سایتش به نمایش گذاشته است به هیچ وجه این مجموعه را از دست ندهید

watercolor quote 037 ... کلمات آبرنگی

by painting shadows I paint the light ... 
shadows must have mysteriousness to it ... and not to like flat looking ones ... 
painting and quote by Alvaro Castagnet 
با کشیدن سایه ها من نور را زنده می کنم 
سایه ها می بایست در ابهام باشند و حس یکدستی و چسبیده شدن به کار را ندهند.

isfahan Trip and studio work ... سفر اصفهان و افتتاح آتله نقاشی من

ماه پیش سفری داشتم به اصفهان همراه همسرم و گروه نقاشان آبرنگ شرق

سفری برای نقاشی 
سفری برای آرامش و لذت 
در اصفهان سفر کردیم و در خود و نقاش کردیم 
آبرنگ نوعی مراقبه است برای من 
نوعی تلاش برای زدودن اضافات 
سفری بی نهایت مفرح بود 
... 
پس از سفر من رسما آتلیه نقاشی خود را افتتاح کردم 
آتلیه ای کوچک به امیدی بزرگ 
این اثر بر مبنای نقاشی در محل با سایز کوچک در قطع بزرگ انجان شده است
سایز این نقاشی 50در 70 است 
یکی از مزایای نقاشی در استودیو آرامش برای خلق آثار با قطع بزرگتر است 
با دقت های بیشتر 
و البته بر مبنای طرح های زنده انجام شده در محیط آزاد
it was about a month ago that my wife and I had a trip to Isfahan with our fellow artists of Shargh watercolorists group. 
it was a painting trip, and we had great time there painting and walking and talking. 
you can find more info about Isfahan here.
after this trip I announced the opening of my own painting studio. 
painting outdoors and in studio are two great experiences. 
this painting is a 50x70cm painting in studio on the basis of a sketch on location 
this is a paiting of "Alighapoo" in Imam Square in Isfahan .
