Graphic Designing Computer Art by Rizwana Mundewadi

After learning graphic designing in 2005 I did quite a number of designs on computer using Photoshop and Coral draw. Amazing computer programmes and miracle makers.

 The advanced programmes are available now which I have not upgraded and left it here. I did many abstract artworks using these wonderful computer programs and who knows later on these may come up as reference  in my abstract paintings..
Graphic Design for Greeting Card
 Greeting cards with unique captions, T-shirt design catchy captions, computer abstracts designs, tile designs , frame designs, posters I have done many designs and stored them in soft copy form. This knowledge of colors and designing helped to open new colourful doors. I could use bright colors, textures and immense possibilities with computer art.

Having moved this step up the ladder doing graphic designing crash course was a great informative move which took me one step ahead towards my goal of becoming a great healing artist.
Yes symbols were here but not too prominent in my computer artworks though I had the liking for the symbol Aum and it is seen in many of my early artworks.

Comparing Pencil Sketches of My Early Years

Pencil is a medium which every artist tries and in fact whenever our hands are free we doodle or make sketches. This not only acts as a study for learning and experimenting with different pencil strokes but also makes me feel relaxed and full of energy, and of course gives us artists new ideas and themes for new paintings.

The different pencil strokes can be done using various pencils. Though all strokes are the same when studied but every artist has their own distinct style of sketching which when observed is prominent in their pencil sketches. I am more attracted to the straight and confident strokes and curves though needed in some sketches for making them complete are a minimum seen in my pencil sketches.
The pencil sketches were done in year 2001 and 2002 as well as every year since then till 2005 for making a connection with art and a break from using oils (when there is shortage of art materials!). So I keep the flow art materials or no!any A4 size white paper will do and I am on!no wonder I have many early paintings and sketches done on paper.

Study different Pencil Strokes Sketch 
When I compared my earlier sketches and the later pencil sketches there was a vast deference. the strokes were more bolder, darker and confident. I also found that I sketched without any fear of making good art. And once this fear leaves then come original beautiful art! 

Small Water Colour Study Paintings by Healing Artist

The year 2000 and 2001 was of very hard and with effortless energy painting. water colour is not my favourite medium but I still tried my hand at this in my early years of discovery. My artists journey began with oil paints and I have also used wall paint for my first painting having fallen short of tube paint! 'The Hibiscus flowers' year 2000.

Using water colour for painting was a challenge and though the paint flowed as any other medium I liked the thickness and solid feel of oil paints. the texture, the layering and the translucent form of this medium, oil paints, is what gives my paintings bright and fresh look.
The discovery of my style or rather I term an understanding of self, led me to use water colours and the strokes flowed like a waterfall gushing to break through a hard rock. The small artworks were actually to study different strokes and as of now I have tried to arrange them in groups and maybe some time later will have a few collages of all these small artworks. Yes it is very true that water colour gives you the freedom to experiment, to try different strokes and the beautiful layerings come up as transparent texture and flowy nature of the water and of course water colour is cheaper than the oil paints. So I painted and painted and there were so many paintings approximately 200 small water colour study paintings.

These strokes and lines and the brushes loaded with water colour all were done in efficient and confident and carefree strokes. In fact there is music which can be felt on observing these paintings. All these lines were there from the beginning but they had no meaning and symbolism for me and I was confused as to why I painted and what I painted. being a healing artist and doing Reiki had opened up several channels of which I was unaware and unconsciously the paintings coming up were planned by the higher force, that which I did not understand! the journey of an healing artist is difficult and very trying as we first have to conquer our own emotions, come to terms with the fact that we are to live according to the higher force and many times I feel trapped inside this body, and to follow this path. There were times when an artist goes on painting and nobody understands , and after more than a decade I do, well my early years were exactly this!

Symbols Sketches with Paint by Healing Artist Rizwana

Symbols were always with me as I revisited my early paint sketches done using brush and back oil paint. In year 2001 as I did pencil and pen sketches I also did some using direct black paint and was this the time when calligraphy which was not known to me then was emerging in my art style. As of now I do use symbols and make symbolic healing paintings but yes they are full of colours! I just cannot control myself and not use as many colors as I can, I love the texture of oil paint, the thickness, the smell, the layers of thick paint over the canvas, how could I possibly not use colours and just do black and white paintings, not me!


The sketches done using black oil paint have some what similar reiki symbols but they are not very clear. My latest paintings have strong and powerful symbols and I do have full faith on my symbols that they work,and I have seen the effect of symbolic healing paintings as I have gone through this journey of spiritual enlightenment as an artist , a human being, a reiki channel. To make ones self hollow like the lotus or the lucky bamboo from feng shui ( fengshui-simplecures.blogspot.com ) and beautiful like the flower has been my aim in life and I do not know how much I have achieved this but am sure on my way!

Healing Artist Sketches of Early Years

The spiritual journey has been continuing with new discoveries every day!
My early years after doing Reiki were very confusing and hard for me as I did not understand why I painted and what I painted. The influences though spiritual were often so different from what people would relate to me, and opposite of my nature. I had the feeling that I was connected to my guides and as the years went by now I am very confident that I have not chosen art, art chose me!



One of the most strong influence which transferred into a series of sketches was about the Mira bai, the spiritual music and the eternal love all these emotions led to the beautiful sketches on mira bai eternal,  a series of sketches among the many sketches done in my early years, in 2001.
Pen Sketch by Rizwana Mundewadi
 Revisiting the early memories and the strong spiritual influences , the times when I painted like wild and I still do, without stopping for food, sleep and the energy has to be transferred on to my artworks, my hands would pain, become numb but I continued to paint ...and I still do painting with the same passion.
Sketch of Mira Bai by Rizwana Mundewadi

Series of Sketches in my early years
 Series on Mira Bai happened after I did Music Flowing on Canvas and adding more to the original artwork came about doing quiet a number of pen sketches on Mira Bai and her eternal love.
Pen Sketch Series Mira Bai Eternal by Rizwana
Sketches form an important part of every artists' work. Sketches have made me follow my instinct of spiritual paintings without thinking and this practice to open up my chakras was essential for my spiritual progress. As an artist i needed to break the blocks coming up in my creative process and as every artist doodles and scribbles I did sketches like wild!
These sketches are done on A4 size white paper and done using pen, whereas my other sketches are done using pencils, crayons and of course later on brush and paint. There was a time when I though of painting using only black colour and the white background looked beautiful. the lines and images would come up on the paper and since my lines usually did not have any meaning then, for me, though now I do understand everything was for a purpose, I did a number of sketches and en drawings. But colours could not be left and I realized I enjoyed using bright colours and that too thick and laden on the brush, without the brush, and this led me to do abstracts which were done with the same passion as I have more than 1000 paintings done using direct paint form the tube on paper.

Eight Auspicious Symbols - Ashtamangala Described, Golden Pot of Treasures Painting

Golden Pot of treasures, Good Luck Painting
The eight auspicious symbols commonly known as Ashtamangala in Buddhist culture is very often seen in old artworks and paintings. These eight symbols are very powerful and believed to bring in lots of prosperity and good luck.
My obsession with pots and as they are an very important part of my paintings I have used the most famous good luck symbols in this artwork that is done on oil sketch paper using oil and acrylic paints.
The Dhungkar or the White conch symbolizes the awakening of the sentient being from the sleeping state of ignorance and I have used this conch symbol in many of my healing artworks.
The Bhumpa is one of my favorite symbols used in making helping paintings as this symbolizes a vase of inexhaustible treasures. Hanging this healing painting will welcome good prosperity and wealth in ones life and as the name symbolizes the vase of inexhaustible treasures.
Another symbol is Dug which signifies the shade under which one is protected from the scorching heat and problems of thsi life and world. It is used as a powerful symbol for protection.
The Palbheu or the mystic knot is a famous symbol used by many cultures to symbolize harmony and unending life resources. The good fortune of complimenting every aspect of your life the endless knot is merged and intertwined with each other and is very difficult to paint.
Another symbols from the eight auspicious symbols is Gyaltsen, the Victorious Banner which is seen in many Buddhist paintings and flags. the symbol assures Victory and is used to symbolize victory of bad over evil.
Many evil forces block and obstruct the success and this symbol is used to overcome this negative energy and invite positive luck.
Pema or the beautiful lotus which is seen in many Buddhist paintings and is also seen in many of my healing paintings is a universal symbol for peace and luck. It is the ultimate symbol for enlightenment and achieving the ultimate in spirituality. This is the symbol for non attachment, how this feeling is great when you are not attached to anything and feel freedom to invite grace to offer you, you are a mere spectator , an actor who just has to act and this feeling is of great achievement, the feeling of non attachment, of not being responsible for everything. This is just what we advice in reiki, to let go of all attachments and free yourself of the guilt of not being responsible for everything and anything! There is a super power who is controlling everything and you are not the center of everything. Trust me this feeling is awesome. The image of lotus in most Buddhist  artworks is not painted as our lotus flower because this flower does not grow in Tibet and the people have modified the image according to make it decorative.
This healing painting has another auspicious symbol here which is the Wheel of Dharma. The Choekyi Khoreo or the Wheel of Dharma. Using these symbols in single , in pairs and also all the eight auspicious symbols together I have made healing paintings that when hung on any wall will continue giving healing for your whole life. Healing is not limited to any one person or any one situation and can heal just anyone and everyone.
The Sernya or the two Golden Fishes is also a symbol that is frequently used by healing and feng shui artists. In feng shui fishes swimming gracefully are a sure sign to welcome prosperity and good luck. painting depicting fishes swimming is considered to be very lucky and hanging such paintings in the north will invite career luck and money luck into your life. It indicates the power to swim in this ocean of life without any hindrance or blockages.

Ashtamangala Painting

These eight auspicious symbols have been judiciously used in this painting and my favorite pots, this is a large pot, of treasures. This healing painting is done on oil sketch paper using oil paints and acrylic . 27x20.5 Inches and done in year 2009. Golden symbols have more power and I have used the colour gold to highlight and make the symbols more powerful.
Magnification of Energy
Golden colour immediately transforms the artwork into a unique and rich textured artwork, and the use of golden colour increases the power of the symbols.
All the Best from Rizwana!
