A soft pastel painting of “Frothy Sea Waves” by Manju Panchal

Choose only one master - Nature”.  Rembrandt

The soft pastel painting below is inspired by the beautiful “Frothy sea waves” which 

reach the shore after a long journey. When observed closely, 

the froth creates interesting shadow patterns on the sands 

below. Soft pastel, I feel, is a great medium to capture the beauty 

of these waves on paper.

For most of my pastel paintings, my preferred choice of paper

 is undoubtedly “Canson Mi Teintes” which is available 

in many different shades.

A morning at Matheran - A soft pastel painting by Manju Panchal

The soft pastel painting below has been inspired by an early

  morning scene from Matheran, a beautiful hill station 

 close to Mumbai. The sun rays  lit up the foliage as it perforated

 through the space  between the wild growth on either sides.

Soft pastel painting of a landscape by Manju Panchal

" If I create from the heart; nearly everything works, if from head

almost nothing." Marc Chagall

The soft pastel painting below has been inspired

by my early morning visit to Karnala Bird Sanctuary.

The sunlit pathway and the surrounding thick

vegetation growth made for a good composition.

The light and contrast in the scene appealed 

a lot to me.
