Another painting from my North Bengal series.This time I have used some special techniques to bring the effect of the wooden house in this work. I noticed this beautiful  house near the lake of Mirik while roaming. Mirik is a beautiful hill town in Darjeeling district ,West Bengal ,India. Every year huge number of tourists love to visit this hill beauty from various parts of the world.

Here my main concern was to bring out the light from the paper. I was very careful about choosing the colours for this particular work. I have told you earlier that you should make some planning before starting your painting work. If your planning is good then the outcome will be fruitful one.

Jhalong is a small hill-village situated in North Bengal ,India. I recently visited North Bengal and I am lucky enough to visit this beautiful place.
