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.

Charcoal sketching of trees on Canson paper. By Manju Panchal

The images below are of two different trees as seen at 

Karnala Bird Sanctuary and the sketches have been

created on Canson Mi Teintes paper

using Camel charcoal pencil

and Conte a paris white pastel pencil.

The early morning sunlight that filters through the dense foliage

and branches creates beautiful patterns on the tree trunks. 

I do these study works from time to time

to get a better understanding

 of "TREE ANATOMY"
