morning walk

Here are 2 quick sketches. I wanted to paint the trees that I see from my balcony. I had rushed though them without enjoying in the last painting..So here's the dessert !


Fabriano 300gsm. 6" x 8"

Having painted this, I did not really like the composition. In fact, I never tried to compose it..So thought removing some trees and adding some interest.. here's the morning walk..


Canson Montval. 8" x 11"

Had been a while that I had tried painting without a pencil sketch..hope you enjoyed these...

rain coming down

The retreating monsoon has been very active this year in Bangalore and it's still raining here..
Sitting in my balcony I was watching these nimbus clouds descend and precipitate...
With my little daughter sleeping warm, I took a break from baby seating and grabbed the colours..
Had to be quick to finish before the little one woke up and cried :)




towards the end, it started pouring and I had to rush through the foreground foliage..
I hope I have captured the moment..

menavali ghat

Happy Diwali everyone !

Wanted to try this new handmade paper I had bought last week.
as usual it turned out to be a blotting paper that renders the brush dry after a stroke..and then dulls the colour at the end :(
But I had a good time painting this one after a long break..and it's a temple-reflection again :)



size : 11" x 14"
This temple is in Menavali in Wai, Maharasthra, on the banks of river Krishna..
hope you like it.

Here's the smaller sketch on a cartridge paper
