        My hello to all oil pastelists. After a long while I have done this OP painting.

        Like all other toddlers, my 3 year old son does this cute mistake while playing hide and seek; he thinks he is invisible when he covers his eyes. The staircase in our house is his favorite hiding spot. I tried to capture his pure innocence in this painting. I am presenting this to him on his 4th bday, which is coming in two weeks.

        It is approx. 8×10 inches on watercolor paper using Craypas and Mungyo.

        Thanks for watching.

            Hi Raj,
            Very cute indeed.
            I like the skin tones and the detail on the fabric.
            Perhaps adding some shade to the spots on which he sits would help with the position of the figure.

                Hi, Raj! :wave: Great to see you posting!

                Your son is adorable. I agree, that’s a cute way small children think, and you’ve done a nice job capturing the moment here. I love his socks! :heart:

                    Raj, love the soft and smooth look of your works! Always so delighted when you turn up with a new painting – I love how they all have a meaning, a story behind them. You put your soul into them, I admire it!

                    This is a very cute scene :) Oh, this sweet age! My daughter will turn 3 soon =D

                        Thank you Tali, Christel, Terri and Mira. I agree with Tali’s suggestions and added some shades near the area where he is sitting.
                        Here is the revised version.

                        Thanks,

                            Good job! The shade added a lot.

                                Nice job Raj. I like the changes. Great job on his body position and pose and the folds in his clothing.

                                            Ah, such a small change, but it does make a difference! A sweet painting of such a cute little boy.

                                            Good suggestion by Tali. :thumbsup:
