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

Pastel landscape painitng by Manju Panchal



" Choose only one master - Nature " Rembrandt

I decided to capture this scene, which I came across while we 
were traveling on the coastal roads of Goa,  using 
soft pastel medium. I primarily use
 in the initial layers and give the final
 touches of Sennelier pastels. 
( Purchased from Amazon.in ).

Fishermen returning home. A water color painting by Manju Panchal


“Dance with the waves, 
move with the sea, 
let the rhythm of the water, 
set your soul free”. 
C A Martine

water color painting of a scene that I came across
 while I was at a seashore in Goa. Through this painting 
I wanted to capture the monsoon atmosphere,
 a cloudy evening sky and its lovely 
reflections at the beach. The fishermen are 
returning home after their day out at sea. 
The painting is also intended to tell their story.
