Well I am back from my trip and thanks for all your wishes that I had got before going for the trip. I had a really great time. The beaches, sand, sea, beer, food,bike rides and the crowd was all great. But the best part was I met with many of my college and some of my school friends after a really really long time and that made the trip special. And I did manage to do some paintings in between all these.
All these paintings were done en plein air. Sitting in the cool shade of a beach umbrella surrounded by friends, sipping chilled beer and painting. Can I complain? :)
Actually it was very hot and hence the paper was drying up too fast. That posed a good challenge. All I could do was paint fast. So all these paintings were completed in about 45 minutes to an hour. And they are all around 14 x 11 inches in size.
Painting outdoors keeps throwing up a new challenge every time and that is why probably it is so exciting.
Day 1 - Rock on cafe on Vagator beach in north Goa.
Day 2 - Cheap seaside hotels at Arambol beach in north Goa
Day 3 - Soaking up some sun at Baga beach, north Goa. The couple went to take a dip in the sea as soon as I had started painting. I had to complete this from the instant memory I had created of the couple.
Day 4 - Beach, beer and a friend for company at Benaulim beach, south Goa
Title - Really bad food shack at Arambol beach
