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!!

Fort jadhav gadh..

Posting some sketches after a long time..Visited jadhav gadh fort last week,where i did some quick sketches.Its a n old fort converted into a heritage hotel property.Also visted a nearby temple of lord Shiva.enjoy the sketches..

some recent sketches done in pune, my home town..its a church built in bricks .i chose the red orange to show the impression of the church.I am slowly doing more of impressinist drawings..not much of detailing is seen in my sketches and paintings.

I am always trying newer materials of drawing.Last sunday i tried a metal calligraphic pen with black printing ink for sketching.Also the exact location is not copied ,but the essence is drawn.Its almost an abstraction of the real thing.Its a minimal sketch approch..its works fine for me as i am very short on patience..
