High Reaches

When profession and passion mingle it is pure delight. First prototype of HAL's indigenous Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) flying over the Himalayas. Having logged about 150hrs on the LUH prototype, I consider myself fortunate to have also designed the painting scheme for these birds. #hindustanaeronauticslimited #lightutilityhelicopter #prototypeflight #watercolours #watercolorartist #watercolorpainting #watercolors #aquarela #aqurelle #helicopters #artbymranand #artbymra #landscape

Roadside Click

The changing colours of foliage is such a treat to watch, especially if you are driving on road filled with such scenes. Painted from a reference pic given by a friend, the pic was taken in Tamilnadu, India on NH 77 on way to Tiruvannamalai.  #watercolours #watercolor #aquarela #aquarelle #artbymra #artbymranand #landscape #tamilnadu

Pure Nostalgia

It's been 35 years since i graduated from NDA (national defence academy, Kharakvasala). Any time i see the picture of Sudan Block, the central architectural beauty of NDA, it evokes fond memories of those wonderful formative years for a glorious career. It brings back memories of course mates, squadron mates, instructors, drill, PT, art clubs, passing out parades and what not. Each stroke of this painting is filled with emotions that only an Ex-NDA can express eloquently.Watercolours on handmade paper 300gsm 20 x 14 in. #watercolour #watercolor #aquarelle #aquarela #nationaldefenceacademy #artbymra #artbymranand #architecture #landscape
