The workshop

Firstly apologies for this late post. The workshop was more than a week back and I guess I should have posted earlier. But such is life. I really could not do the needful. But as they say better late than never.

The workshop with Prosenjit was very educational and informative. Sometimes to move ahead one needs to take two steps back and that was what the workshop was all about. Had to really start from the basics again and went on to draw human figure finally. Learnt about proportions, gesture etc. There was not enough time to go into anatomy though it was planned. learnt a little about soft pastels and acrylics. Over all the workshop was fantastic and Prosenjit was a great teacher. I hope he will come down to Bangalore sometime again in future so that we can continue from where we left.

I am posting a few of the plates from the workshop. Hope you enjoy it.

Prosenjit's quick demo of study of David

My labored study of David. You can see I have made him a little fat. :)

Some half minute gesture studies on which Prosenjit quickly developed human figures.

Kodaikanal

Kodaikanal is a small hill station in the south of India. It is a very touristy place. I had been there recently which was off season, but still there were lot of tourists. It was very difficult painting there as the whole place was always covered with clouds and paper would take ages to dry. But I got some pictures from there and planning to do a series on Kodaikanal. This is the first one. 

p.s. In the last session of the workshop which was like general question answer, exchange of thoughts etc one of the participants had taken a few pictures of me. I am posting one of them. The reason of posting this is that you'll probably get a look at all the artwork the participants produced. Aren't they really good. II really loved them.

A few days back I took a 5 day watercolor workshop with Mr Kashinath Hiremath. I had lots of fun in this time and got to learn a lot too. Here are some of the works I did during the workshop.

Have a great weekend everyone.
