Puskar Ghat

Puskar Ghat

Watercolor on paper

size : 22 x 15 inches

This is another painting from my Rajasthan series. This is a little complex subject for me. I always gets overwhelmed when I see so many objects in a landscape. But what I found is, it is really easy if you only see the shapes, light and shadows. That will make the things more easier. Hope you like this!

Thanks for visiting!

When I thought of painting this subject I knew that its very difficult to get that effect. But I dared to attempt this. four glazing in wet in wet. I was afraid that it should not spoil the paper, but thankfully nothing happened. After the glazing completely dried I did the figures. And I am quite happy with the outcome :)

Rajasthan Series : Melody of life

Melody of Rajasthan

Watercolor on paper

Size : 15 x 22 inches

I took this photo during my visit to Puskar (Rajasthan).While waiting for my cab I saw this man standing with ravanhatta instrument. When I was taking out my camera and thinking of taking his photo he came to know that I want to take his photo. Then he came near to me and posed nicely.

It was mid day and very sunny day. What I likes about this the strong shadow in his face. I am really happy with how it turned out.
