Zindagi

kya khub hai yeh zindagi na jio toh gum hai aur jio toh kaam.. Dil ney aaj ek sawal pucha,  jab mei roya tab aasu aakh sey aaye,  jab mei khush hua tab muskan ban k chehre k noor ko chamkaya,  jab koi pass na tha tab mei tha,  jab koi khass aaya tabhi mei tha,  jab har sawalo k javab mujh sey puchtey ho,  jab har raaz mujh mei sameit lete ho,  toh zindagi ko khul k kyu nahi jitey..? zindagi ka ek pal aisa guzra maano ruk si gai zindagi tham gaya har lamha ankhon sey aasoo behtey, na waqt na raat thi guzar rahi, khamoshi ki dastak mei na janney kaun sey pal mei khushiyo ki ney dastak di, ek taraf zindagi ho kar bhi adhuri si lag rahi thi,  phir subh ki roshni ney na janey kya baara,  ki har khamoshi mei umeed ki nayi lehar daud padi, zindagi ka woh pal bas kuch yaadein dey kar bas guzar gaya. Kyu hamey kisi ki itni yaad satati hai, khushi mei bhi ankhey baar aati hai, dil mei dua hotey hue bhi zubaa par nahi aati hai, adhure shabado sey koi baat

Charcoal is the blackish residue consisting of impure carbon obtained by removing water from animal and vegetation substances. Charcoal is used in art for drawing making rough sketches in painting, and is one of the possible  media  for making a parsemage. It must usually be preserved by the application of a fixative. Here i have used Finely powdered charcoal to "tone" or cover large sections of a drawing surface. Drawing over the toned   areas darken it further, but the you can also lighten (or completely erase) within the toned area to create lighter tones. Note the main difference between drawing with a pencil and charcoal is that charcoal leaves a track that is darker, velvety and it can be spread much easier and finer. Both natural and artificial charcoal can be used. i have used "Pencil charcoal", but u can use "Natural charcoal" is a stick of wooden charcoal with precisely defined characteristics suitable for very fine drawing.

The world is inhabited of thousands of species of birds. No animal group arouses as much interest as these birds. The vibrance of their colours,  the melody of their song, as well as their conspicuousness combine to make birds the ideal subject for study and aesthetic appreciation. John Gould : He was ornithologist writer and publisher produced and monumental series of illustrated books of birds throughout the world. For his illustrations he used the process of "Lithography" or "drawing on stones". Here is my collection of painting which i made from some of his photographs and some are which i found interesting to paint. What r u think of.. start and enjoy the world of colous..
