Watercolor paintings of Ganpatipule beach by Manju Panchal

  “ Colors like features, follow the changes of emotions.” Pablo Picasso 

Ganpatipule beach, located on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra, is a clean, tranquil, and pristine beach known for its scenic beauty, coconut palms and the historic 400 year old Swayambhu Ganpati temple. 

We were at this beautiful beach last August and and I captured the monsoon landscape at different times of the day and so began my series of Watercolor paintings on my most favourite subject “Seascapes”. I got everything that I was looking for. 

Water, the elixir of life, one of the most fundamental requirements for life in any form, is somehow my source of inspiration. Moreover, I spent all my life close to sea and I feel, painting a seascape is more about capturing water and sky. It is about expressing emotion, movement, and silence all at once. Through these simple limited palette paintings, I get to explore color, light, texture and atmosphere in unique ways.

Golden Gate Bridge - A watercolor painting by Manju Panchal

“Watercolor condenses time and consolidates experience.”

Frank Marcello 

I have already painted the “Golden Gate Bridge” 

( “A suspension bridge that connects the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. )

 on earlier occasions but the photo that I found recently 

caught my eye mainly because, it had quite a different 

composition, was an evening scene and also 

captured the cars racing across the bridge. This scene 

looked a bit challenging as I decided to use the watercolor 

medium and had to capture the racing cars, which 

were going to be gestural strokes and not too much of details. 

I finally painted it on Chitrapat handmade paper using 

my usual Winsor and Newton Cotman and 

Camlin Artists water color tubes

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.

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.
