Rains .. keep coming again !

 Rains & Raindrops .. a great season to live by :)
some inspirations being translated to paintings ..

Some More ...

I was totally inspired to watch this VDO ( Link Here) & also hear the fantastic Soundtrack it has ( SAIL - Awolnation) , it got me pumped to pick a gel pen & sketchbook ... I watched it over & over again & sketched from memory WITHOUT any screenshots or pause frames .. each one taking a not more than a few minutes ..

Just wanted to S T R E T C H my mind & hands exactly with the same flow & rhythm the dancer has ! I Enjoyed every bit of it :) Hope you do too the actual VDO & my sketches as well .. :)

Eye of the Tiger !

One more in continuation for the animals 'Eyes' .. Hope we dont lose this mighty animal forever.. A Beautiful animal indeed ..

The KING

Hi ! A long pending post.. Was playing with Cintiq a day back so spent the time doing this.. Its pure FUN ! Wanted to focus on the eyes as they speak so much .. especially the animals..
I enjoyed it , hope you do too :)
cheers

Prayers

Some paintings I had done with thought of 'warmth' .. in many of its forms.. waiting for sunlight after many gloomy days to the warmth of a simple honest prayer.. Had taken ref from a movie & extracted figures to build this piece ..
cheers :)

Sketchy sessions

While conducting a module @ the MIT Design Institute, PUNE for pre-production design & digital methods, it used be great fun to start the day with gesture sketches.. really quick ones.. timed to about 30-40 secs .. here are some of the ones done of the students sketching .. while I have never been one who was into figure sketching but i must say this is really enjoyable & liberating.. it sets the ball rolling for the day ..

I usually try not to lift the pen to capture the gesture in a continuous flow of line .. then later on work on with a marker .. one of the techniques i came across in a book .. it also helps observing the pose very carefully & then draw fast without looking at in again after every stroke ..

cheers !

Happy Mothers Day !

A tribute to all those fantastic, loving, caring, ever loving & incomparable 'MOTHERS' .. What a personality GOD has made . . Beyond words :)
Happy Mothers Day !

HOT SHO(o)TS

Hi friends
another post pretty soon.. went on trip ( mental & physical ) imagining complex & funny poses photographers take to take their best shot.. A red pen & a sketchpad can be so good a companion while traveling ! had to compile them with some thoughts that evoked ..
Hope you enjoy the Pot shots :P !

Romancing the Rains !

Another post far too quickly !
Trying to capture the romance, freshness & the sheer pleasure of watching the lush greens !
Its been great watching the rains !
Enjoy :)

Good, Better, Best !

Hi all really didnt have much to update.. or rather havent thought of what to update.. so posting my current wallpaper.. I was playing with some discarded gouache painting in greens & yellows & some typo. Have been surrounded with fresh greens due to fantastic monsoon hence the palette :)
Instead of waiting to do a great piece for update posting one I have ... As they say
" A good thing for today is better than the best thing for tomorrow "
So posting whatever I have..

Enjoy !

A rarity

Hi all,
Was listening to Beautiful song 'Piya tora kaisa abhimaan' by Shubha mudgal ( also another super version by Hariharan ) from movie Raincoat, on a rainy evening and sketched this from memory ! & threw in some color splashes. I do very less of memory character/figure sketching hence called this post a RARITY !
I thoroughly enjoyed while the water was flowing ... outside the window and on my canvas as well. I hope you do too !
Enjoy the rains !

All strings detached !

Some of my musings, more of "ANGRY abstracts" ... also has a quote I read in a ZEN book by Osho .. its about how lighter & unburdened your mind must be to fly on a higher plane.. I love that thought and totally agree that the bindings & attachments we have in some way burden us in more ways than one.
Went on spontaneously & vigorously, hence these images ..
enjoy !

Darkness & fireflies (part2) !

Hi all ,
Posting artworks done for a book of poems " KAALOKH KAAJVE" by my aunt Sau.Jayashree pathak. Also you can savour the short poems. This was the reason for earlier post as we had driven down to Nasik for the launch of the book. I was glad to get an opportunity to display some of the artworks there. More of sketches with inks & washes is what I did.. just to keep the expressive feel intact & supplement the lovely poems!
hope you like them !
Cheers :)
