Sketches with a group ..pune urban sketchers.

In pune,india, we have started a group of enthusiastic urban sketchers.They are a mix of artists,laypeople, and many architects and designers..These sketches are done with the group today.I have started sketching more and more people along with my comfort zone of drawing buildings.I believe that observation of fellow sketchers helps a lot..so thank you all sketchers..The venue is Rukhmini pandurang mandir, karve nagar pune, india.

Pune urban sketchers.

I took part in Singapore International urbansketchers syposium in july 2015.I conducted three workshops,and attended the various sketching related activities.After experiencing the fun in the group sketching, I decided to start a urban sketching group in pune,with few of my sketching enthusiasts friends..sharing some photos of pune urban sketchers and some of my sketches done in singapore sketchwalk.

Summer sketching..

Its summer time in Pune, india, very hot to actually sit outdoors and paint.I prefer to do quick sketches instead.These are sketches done in 5 minutes each,just an impression of the place i visited.I have used my usual technique of black pen sketching on pre painted pages of the sketchbook,to avoid spending time while doing outdoor sketchpainting.Sharing some here

Feel of Velas, through sketches..

Just back from a weekend trip to Velas,a small beach side village in Konkan, maharashtra .The place is known for turtle conservation project..I went with a group to witness turtle hatching on the beach of Velas..in the spare time i made few sketches while walking back from beach to village.sharing some sketches here..

Banaras sketching tour february2015.

Banaras,also known as Varansi, is a pilgrimage place in north India.Its famous for its Ghats( stepped approches to river Ganga), The river Ganga is considered very auspicious in Hindu Mythology..The city is vibrant, and colourful..also crowded with people.I have tried to sketch the ghats ,mostly impressions which i felt.

Anjarle Konkan visit..

These are some of the impressions sketches of my recent visit to konkan area in maharashtra,.For easy and fast sketching, some colour patches were done at home and only sketchpens are used to make sketches using the colour patches as composition...posting before and after photos..

pune university yet again..

I have tried to make my sketching more challenging by an experiment which my photos will explain.I have painted few patches of colours at home.Then i have tried to match them on site for suitable composition.Many times its not matching ,but sometimes the colour and sketch go very well with each other..

The photographs show before and after sketch versions.You can decide yourself,if i have done a good job or not.One thing is sure that i enjoyed the challenge of trying to suit the partly painted abstract colour patches with reality infront of me..its a combination of abstract and reality!!
