Watercolor, 15 x 20 in.
Hi all! Had been to kerala last week. And what a proper time it was to visit such an exotic place...i.e., during the monsoon! Its truly God's own country! I've captured many pics of rain drenched streets and the backwaters and the beach. Enough to keep me busy for now! Will post them here as soon as I paint. Have shared some of those pics on my Facebook page which could be viewed by FB users here.
For now I'm posting one of my personal favorite watercolor paintings. This is a street scene from Kolkata, capital city of the state of West Bengal and one of the metropolitan cities of India. The reference photograph for this was provided by Shubhangi Athalye. Thanks so much Shubhangi!
Can absolutely see why it's one of your favourites Ramesh - it's great! And although I don't know how to do the facebook thing, I did get there to have a look at your amazing pics. Looking forward to seeing the resulting paintings.
ReplyDeleteRamesh, It's a very nice painting. You have a lot of nice reference photos. Especially the one with the boats in the water with the nice reflection. That would make a great painting. Thanks for sharing. It looks like it's beautiful there.

I envy you, Ramesh!I am sure you enjoyed Kerala a lot and also got some great photos from there!Can't wait to see them transformed into paintings:)
ReplyDeleteThis one is as usual a very good streetscape.You are a pro at this now!Love the values here.
Great composition and sense of space with the wide street receding to the hazy blue in the back ground. I like that I can sense the texture in the buildings in the foreground. Looks like a great place.
ReplyDeleteConcha, thanks for appreciating!
