Little hands at work,

Bore well truck

Bore well truck, Gouache on paper........these trucks are very busy nowadays since rain is scarce here. (Nov 30th Erode).

Laying Road

Laying road was used to be a very long and tedious process in the past....now it has become much faster than I expected, still the smell of tar gives me headache. Today morning sketch(Nov 29th in Erode).

Artist Ramesh Jhawar in my hometown

Met the wonderful and humble watercolour artist Ramesh Jhawar and his lovely family at my hometown. His watercolour works are a treat to look in person. Strong composition, convincing light and of course the drama with colours!!! Inspired :)

Signalling Robot

Automated signalling man has been in operation since a few weeks in the nearby the construction site. The robot is dressed up quite convincingly to look like a traffic controller, everybody slows down to take a closer look. First time seeing like this.

Values

Here's a detail from a sketch (in progress) I did yesterday.....among the two traffic cones, one has a change in tone from light into shadow (showing convincing turning of form) and the other has a single tone throughout (can't see form and structure), this is why I think tones are very important. Any other views on this?

Deepavali and custom designed mosaic Rangoli

Had a wonderful Deepavali at National Gallery, the reason being I got an opportunity to transform an intricate idea into a simplified visual reality. This custom designed mosaic Rangoli was conceptualised and designed to entertain the kiddie visitors, of course it was delightful to see my design coming to life in the little hands. It was indeed very well received !! :)
