@ NGMA Bangalore

It's been a long time since I visited any art gallery, and the chance to do plein air at National Gallery of Modern Art at Bangalore was a great opportunity. The fountain area with the main building to the right was a perfect scene...tried out all the techniques in watercolours!  the art gallery was also fun with most of the Indian masters on display! watercolours on 16" x 12",  300gsm paper. 

@indiranagar defense colony park

this lush green park in the midst of urban Bangalore looks like a deciduous forest!  its a treat to paint there.

water colours to me is 'controlled aggression', but here it is more of aggression and less of control!  had to redo and overlay and blotch up a few areas....but as always it was fun! water colour on 300gsm A3 size

@Sheshadri Iyer Memorial Hall

with sun finally shining at Bangalore, i headed for this beautiful library in Cubbon park along with Pencil Jammers...it has always been a great challenge to paint these architectural beauties....and this time was no exception!  Got a few tips from Prabal and had a great time......still a lot to learn! 16 X 12 inch, water colours on 300 gsm

wilderness

wildness is from a photograph i had taken at nandi hills near bangalore...the foliage on the foreground was quite a challenge...i tried out different techniques for each tree trunk....water colour on handmade paper 30 X 22 inch
