Thumbnail sketches/ studyworks by Manju Panchal

Inspired by the beauty of nature I am into painting 

landscapes in different mediums. Before beginning with 

the painting I normally create small study sketches 

in my cartridge sketch book. 

These quick study works are sized 4" X 5" and they help me gauge 

the final outcome. It also helps in experimenting and exploring 

different techniques. Moreover since I do not get into doing 

details at this stage the time spent on each of them varies 

from ten to twenty minutes each.

Given below are my different thumbnail or preliminary sketches 

created using graphite, water colour and soft pastel medium.

Study works created to understand the use of Camlin

water soluble graphite sticks.
