Watercolour painting: Fog



This is done on a cheap local pad. The sizing of the paper is good, but it is dull in colour. The paints are Sakura Koi. I used an unbranded mop. This painting was done following along Uffe Boesen on Youtube.

View from a balcony


Colours after a thunderstorm. 5 Sept 2020



Covid19 has changed lives. We have been confined to our homes since March. For some of us it has been easier than others — we have been confined to the comforts of our homes with fast internet and good food. For others it has been a hard struggle.

These are some of the images I saw from my balcony. The space was the same. But at different times nature painted very different canvases. Covid has made me realise the value of simple things which we took for granted. Even a cup of cutting chai is now only a dream.
