Nature Study!

Medium - Watercolor

These watercolor paintings are a mix of still life and memory drawing. Sketches are done on Ghat of River Ganga. These sketches are a portrayal of how nature's beauty attracts a peaceful mind. While sitting on the shore of a river and listening to the voice of birds and fast water flow, one may get to know how small he/she is but at the same time can realize the infinite potential within.

Sitting in the fresh air and observing nature, is the best way to express it. We all are now so urbanized that we often don't get time to visit all these places. So, this is the sketch of a Ghat in River Ganga from an ink pen.

Still life sketch of my terrace garden. This sketch reminds me of my childhood. Everything here is the same as when I used to be a child. I may have lost some plants but still, this is the best place in my home when I look for calmness.

Clouds are like ideas in our minds, they may change infinite times. Clouds are a way of nature's drawing, you look them up, sometimes it's like an elephant and sometimes it's a fairy. Clouds are always interesting to work with as you look at them they change their form every time so I decided to shades the color of the clouds.

These memory sketches are from Parvati Valley. Parvati Valley is situated in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. From the confluence of the Parvati River with the River Beas, the Parvati Valley runs eastwards, through a steep-sided valley from the town of Bhuntar, in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh in Northern India.
