Moula Ali Yard IV

Moula Ali Yard IV, Watercolour on Paper, 14" X 20" 

I have painted several times at this very spot. However, since this is part of a railway marshalling yard, every time there is something new. Last time it was a track repair machine. This time is was an old abandoned guard coach. I also love this place because there is little disturbance due to passers by. 

I hope you are enjoying seeing my plein air efforts. Thanks for stopping by. All comments and critiques are most welcome.

I have been doing quite a bit of painting these days, just didn't get time to upload my new works here. Here are two new watercolours. The first one of the NFC bridge is a plein air piece and the second one has been done from a photo. 
Thank you so much for dropping by. All comments and critiques are welcome.

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.

Sunday Plein Air at Moula Ali Railway Yard

Moula Ali Yard III, Watercolour on Paper, 10" X 14"

We had a great time plein air painting this Sunday at Moula Ali yard. The day was a little cloudy and not too hot. Four hours of continuously working outdoors, this is the longest I have ever done at one stretch. I really look at these plein air sessions as opportunities to sort out specific doubts I face while painting indoors. That way I am not too disappointed if the paintings dont turn out well. :)

Moula Ali Railway Yard

Moula Ali Yard, Watercolour on Paper, 15" X 11" 

I go out plein air painting every weekend with a friend to some place nearby. This is my sketch from today morning done at the shunting yard near Moula Ali railway station. 

We were a bit hesitant to lay out our stuff in such a place, as we thought someone might raise an objection. But to our surprise there was no disturbance whatsoever and we ended up with a peaceful and fulfilling outdoor session! :)
