Eminent Painter celebrates festival of colour with street kids

Fiddling with the brush to draw splashes in colours of life, Big B's life sketch painter Wasim Kapoor today set on his new Holi series for underprivileged children.
Kapoor, who had sketched a portrait of Amitabh Bachchan and gifted it to the superstar two years back, said he would love to do a series portraying the innocence and joy of the little ones.
"Seeing their mobile faces, lit up with smiles for being in this world, I often plan to do a series to recapture this very spirit," Kapoor said after playing 'gulal' with the underprivileged children of Hope Foundation.

Sprinkled with coloured water by the exceptionally abled kids at a city mall, Kapoor smiled, "All the children - from different backgrounds - are possessed with a divinity. They can be the true celebrities."
An initiative by Berger Paints and Emami Chisel Art, the move to rope in a celebrated painter for observing Holi with these precocious kids was aimed at bridging the society, an Emami spokesperson said.
As the children cast their imprints on the blank canvas signifying the impressions of the future, Kapoor watched them intently and in turn drew their lit-up faces.
"I will work on them in future," he said.
