Puttush
A few months back we went to one of our friend’s house in
Kolkata and were introduced to the newest member of their family. His name is Puttush
and he a Beagle, six months of age at the time.
We instantly fell in love with Puttush as he was lively,
intelligent and constantly vying for attention with his childlike attitude. The
beagle is a breed of small hound, quite similar to larger foxhound in
appearance and very popular pet due to its size, good temper and lack of
inherited health problems.
Coming back, I promised myself that I shall make a sketch of
his or give it an honest try at the least. For me sketching is therapeutic and dog
portraiture is definitely fulfilling. After all dog is a man’s best friends
and in the words of former French president Charles de Gaulle, “The better I
get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.”
Portraiture
I have more than a fair share of hobbies with stamp
collection, blogging and sketching crying for attention as soon as I reach
home. Hobbies are a great way to unwind after a stressful day at take our mind
away from anything that bothersome.
It is important to have a hobby and Drawing and sketching
are great hobbies that can be done any time or place. Some of the useful
benefits of this hobby are:
- Enhances creativity
- Improves memory
- Improves fine motor skills
- Improves mood
- Good way to relax
- Reduces stress
- Therapy for older adults
- Improves analytical skills
