Charcoal Triptych



Charcoal Triptych, Charcoal on Paper, (9.5" X 21") (9.5" X 7" each) 
I love doing these charcoal studies. They are not very time consuming, an hour for each and are a great exercise in values. I mostly use pictures I find on the internet that are not copyrighted. 
All comments are most welcome.

Mallapur Morning


Mallapur Morning, Watercolour on Paper, 20" X 14" 
This is another place very close to my home. I did this from a photograph I took with my phone one morning. I love the wonderful orange that seems to fringe most objects at sunrise. I hope I was able to capture a bit of that in this painting.

Rainy Day, Seminary Hills


Rainy Day, Seminary Hills, Watercolour on Paper, 14" X 20" 
Seminary hills is a lovely place in my hometown, Nagpur. It has a lovely forest-ish feel to it with dense vegetation and if you are lucky you might see a herd (is that the correct word ?) of antelopes crossing the road. This painting was done from a photograph taken on a rainy day :) I kept spraying water every once in a while to try and maintain the wet look.

Moula Ali Yard III


Moula Ali Yard III, Watercolour on Paper, 20" X 14" 
I love painting trains and associated stuff and so I find railway marshalling yards very interesting. This place is very close to my house and mostly quite deserted. Therefore painting en plein air is not a problem. It took me about 2 hrs to finish this. There were a few passers by who stopped for a while to watch me paint, but without creating any disturbance. All in all it was good fun coupled with substantial learning.
