The Red Windows - Virtual Paintout - Dec2010

This is the first sketch that I made in my new Moleskine watercolour book that I picked up from London... For those who don't know, Moleskine has started selling though WilliamPenn stores across India...

The location for Virtual Paintout for month of December was County Clare Ireland...

The size is 8cms*12cms, watercolour and pen, on 200gsm paper...

sketches from Ludhiana Dec2010

While some friends shopped Jutties and Phulkari shawls, I made this sketch at Ghantaghar area in Ludhiana... This is possibly the busiest area in Ludhiana, very close to the railway station, full with hustle-bustle and noise levels are beyond explanation through words...

After I made the first sketch at the Heathrow airport, they announced that our flight would be delayed by an hour... So I made another sketch... However, I had no idea that the wait is going to be much longer... an entire day!.. and spending time in that enclosed space(airport and hotel room) really was getting crazy... and couldn't put pen to paper after this sketch...


When this post gets published, I would be on my way to Delhi for an official trip... and I hope the flight leaves on time... Work will also take me to Ludhiana... I hope to do some sketches during this trip than what I did last time... Also plan to get some nice photographs for inspiration for paintings...

Continuing from the last post about my visit to the National Gallery during recent London tr... after the guided tour, there was about an hour before the gallery closed... so I went on to check paintings from the impressionist... There I found a lot of artists sketching from the originals... I found the originals a little intimidating so sketched one of the sketcher :)
