Watercolor painting of a ship at New Mangalore by Manju Panchal
Watercolor can leave me totally deflated and wondering why I
chose it as a medium and then I am seduced again by a
beautiful wash or the lacework of an intricate
detail which is impossible to create in
any other medium.” Joseph Zbukvik
Last year I had the opportunity to visit my husband’s ship which
had arrived at New Mangalore port for loading cargo in bulk.
One morning when I got up and looked out
of the porthole, I saw this “Bulk Carrier”
parked at the jetty on the opposite side.
It had probably arrived at night for loading.
The atmosphere was a bit hazy I loved the scene,
the mood and the composition. I had
decided then that someday I shall paint
the story of this ship. Painting is quite like
story telling. I paint what is on my mind
and leave the rest to the viewer to interpret
it in his/her own way.
I have used a very limited palette of Colors
from Camlin and Winsor and Newton cotman tubes.

Step by step watercolor painting by Manju Panchal
Limitless and immortal, the waters are the beginning and end of all things on earth.” Heinrich Zimmer
A watercolor painting of Senibel beach scene from Florida,
inspired by a photograph from @tryatrip and I am
grateful for the same. Most of the times,
I try using my own reference photo,
however there are times when I come
across something beautiful which I cannot
resist and therefore go ahead and paint it.
