A PJ's autograph

I am very delighted to say you all about the autograph that I got from A P J Abdul Kalam Sir. Thanks to Anil Gupta Sir. After seeing the sketch he helped me to get it autographed from A P J sir.
Have a closer look at the autograph.

study # painting in planes

A still life painting to study painting in planes.
The still life set up, middle stage and final stages are shown here.
Canvas: 16"x20" stretched canvas

A monochromatic oil painting to study the values

An indirect painting to study the values. As you see in the different stages of this still life painting I have tried to do it in two layers. First stage being creating a rough sketch with burnt sienna and second stage covering it with different shades of blacks and whites. I m thinking of doing one more layer to make it colorful. :) Canvas size: 16" x 20"
colors used: lamp black, titanium white and burnt sienna
