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.

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.

Water color painting of Sand dunes at the seashore
"At the beach life is different,
Time doesn't move hour to hour
But mood to moment.
We live by the currents,
Plan by the tides
And follow the sun."

Kids grow so fast. You teach them a few fundamentals and they soon learn. They quickly surpass the things that you taught them. Here is a drawing that my 13 year old daughter did.

Rhythm Des Fleurs and Rosa
I am here after a long time. These two sets of paintings are travelling to far shores to be exhibited in a small show and am I excited!
Rhythme Des Fleurs
My connection with Indian Classical Music is known to most and it has largely crept into my artwork and way of living. When I was asked to exhibit what I think constitutes me, what more could I think than music and flowers! Each bouquet here is vying for space along with each piece of a set of Tablas ( Indian percussion instruments used for accompaniment in Indian Classical Music). The tablas are a very important part in North Indian Classical music. They determine complex math which correspond to each note of a rendition and are often responsible for making or marring a performance. I am lucky to have a set at home, belonging to my Guruji and this is not the first time I have made these serious set of instruments pose for my art! The tablas are a formidable set of instruments for every classical singer - a source of delight as well as fear for the possibility of missing a beat and spoiling the whole performance! All in all, they are the most sought after apparatus in music!
Rosa 1 and 2
These abstract flowers represent the complexity of life. We exist among so many dynamics, but yet we make a beautiful presentation of it! Wednesday, May 9, 2018
