New Watercolours

I have been guilty of not updating my blog lately. :)
Here are a few new watercolours I have done recently.

After the rains, Watercolour on Paper, 14" X 20" 

Calangut Morning, Watercolour on Paper, 14" X 20" 

Metro Rail Station, Habsiguda, Watercolour on Paper, 20" X 14" 

Done en plein air

Low Tide in Staithes, 24" X 20". Oil on Canvas, 

I have been a huge fan of the artwork of the british master painter David Curtis, ROI RSMA, both his watercolours and oils. Staithes is a recurrent place in most of his plein air work. He has painted it several times in all seasons and light conditions. One ought to see his work to appreciate the true beauty of this place.
I did this from a reference photo I found on the internet. Please do feel free to comment and critique :)

Early Morning, Calangute Beach

I love looking at the sea and painting it too :). This is based on a photograph I took at Calangute Beach, Goa just before sunrise.

All comments and critiques are most welcome.

Shubha on Radhanagar Beach, Andaman Islands

Shubha on Radhanagar Beach, Andaman Islands, Oil on Canvas, 12.5" X 18.5" 

This painting is based on a photograph of the beautiful Radhanagar Beach, Andaman Islands I clicked during our visit four years ago. My wife, Shubha is seen here wetting her legs and taking in the fresh air :)

I did this one from a reference pic by Olga Burczyk who was really kind in letting me use her work. I have altered the background and colours to suit my theme.
All comments and critiques are most welcome. :)

Evening's Glow

Evening's Glow, Watercolour on Paper, (20" X 14") 

Another boat painting! This is based on several references. I had photos of this boat taken around midday and some other photos of the evening.  I made many value sketches in black and white by moving the sun around along the horizon. I then chose the one that seemed to work best. I hope I could do justice here.

Thank you all for stopping by. All comments and critiques are most welcome.
