I love travelling and visiting different places. More than different cities, I love jumping between different neighbourhoods in the same city (trust me when I say they are wholly different worlds!). As an artist and architect, I love the stories buildings have to tell and I try to capture that through art.
Almost all the sketches I do are made on-site and the time taken to complete it takes anywhere between 10 minutes to 5 hours! I take a picture of the sketch in the foreground and the building in the background most of the times and put it up on my blog to tell people the stories of the place, the stories I came to experience while sketching it, talking to people who stop to see and ask me what I am doing. It never gets boring.
I mostly use Watercolours and ink, and I am a big fan of dramatic pieces through the use of solid colours. These are a set of sketches from my travels within India and the United States. I would be setting up my online store in a few months, so stay tuned if you want to buy prints!
