Wishing all of you a very happy, prosperous and fun filly new year! 
En Plein Air..lalbagh gardens, Bangalore last sunday.  Water colour on hand made paper 15X11inch.

Hanuman Dhoka-Durbar square

I was in awe seeing the architectural beauty of Nepal.  This is a glimpse from one of the many Durbar squares at Kathmandu valley..this one is near Hanuman Dhoka.  Still a long way to go before i get the balance between light and shade perfectly.  Watercolour on Brustro 300gsm 16X12 inch.

Nilgiris(blue mountain)

 

Picked this subject from a photograph of my classmate in facebook!  It's from the Nilgiris mountains..and it was challenging to catch the depth.  Goofed up a little with the washes and had to redo many layers, as well as the bushes in foreground.   Water colour on 300gsm Fabriano 12X16 inch.

Our Pug Diesel!

This is my first painting of our pug DIESEL.. Water colour on Chitrapat 320 gsm paper, 14 X10 inch.

Meadows?

Attempted a simple scenery picked from a newspaper. Add a few birds in the distant sky to bring some life.  Was satisfied with the clouds but not so much with the foreground and the water!  Water colour on Brustro 330gsm 16 X12 inch.

Lakeside

Tried to do a simple watercolour with multiple wash to capture the setting sun..the painting is from a TV advertisement...i was impressed by the intense colours which was a challenge for water colour washes!  Water colour on paper canson 19 X14 ", 150 GSM.

Money Plant

A scratchy painting after a long break!  Enjoyed painting the money plant in my neighbour's garden...interesting subject it turned out!  Water colour on paper 14X19inch, canson paper 180 gsm.
