The Gallery by Grace Prakashan
About the book
It is said sometimes that female figure is the most beautiful thing God created. Naturally it is a fascinating subject for all painters. John Fernandes with his extraordinary talent paints figures with ease and confidence. Now-a-days in the art field when a cyclonic storm of 'creativity' and 'freedom of expression' is going on, John stands like a rock, proclaiming that 'Drawing' in itself is an art and drawing and painting a figure is one of the most challenging subject for an artist. John is a draftsman of tremendous ability. His confidence and the power of execution make one feel that God stuck a brush in his hand instead of a sword. He draws and paints so naturally that it looks as if he is just enjoying it - especially when he paints a female figure, bringing all the grace and delicacy of the model. Surely he is an artist who can be called a phenomenon.

Journey so far… by Milind Mulick
About the book
A collection of watercolour paintings by Milind Mulick.
“Painting, like all other art forms, is primarily about communication.
Every painting starts with a visual that gets filtered by the artist’s experience,
perception and thought process. Each one has an idea to convey and a story to tell.
This book is a candid account of the part of my journey that can be put in words.
It talks about what inspires me, motivates me, makes my creative urge tick!
This book is ‘One for the road’.”
