A water colour painting of a beach scene by Manju Panchal

“The world always seems brighter when you’ve just 

made something that wasn’t there before.” 

Neil Garman

I recently completed one of my watercolor paintings 

on Canson Moulin du Roy paper and am posting the completed work

along with the steps involved in creating it. It was an early 

morning scene, when we were at Colva beach 

and it was not crowded. The stretch of sand far across, 

and the misty look in the distance motivated me to create this work.

A Misty Morning at Colva beach

Size 5.5” X 8”

Step 1. Created the sky using a mix of warm and cool colours, and added the distant foliage on the left. Used wet on wet technique as I did not want to have hard edges in the distance.

Step 2. Created the bushes on the left ( Camlin Artists water color tubes ), the sandy seashore and the ocean. At this stage I have not added details anywhere.

Step 3. Added layers of colours to the bushes on the left to create the form and shadow, and flat wash of colour on the sandy seashore. Added details to the figures on the beach.

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

A 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.

Some Watercolor Sketches

Water colour painting of Blue Haven beach, West Australia by Manju Panchal

"The only time I feel alive is when I am painting". Vincent Van Gogh

Posted below is one of my latest

 works in water colour medium. 

I created it using a reference photo 

sent by a friend. 

Seashore is one of my favorite subjects and I 

enjoyed painting the crystal clear waters of the ocean

and the rocks at the beach.
