An opportunity to make a Perspective study
A view from the front of my hostel room
The casual pose by friends nearby and the worker paati was just natural and came out without any demand or alerting
It is undoubtedly true... Nature is the best illustrator...loved scribbling the plants

Precious INDIAN MASTERS...

Next on the line of celebrity sketches...The Two Precious LEGENDS

Both are 40+  (just a number) ... but their fame and contribution to their sport lasts forever...agelessly

They were in the news recently because of historically important events.. Quite nostalgic too ..

Chess Champion Vishwanathan Anand couldn't establish his victory over a 20 yr old challenger

(I won't say he was defeated) 

and Little Master - Cricket Super Star - Sachin Tendulkar's retirement 

Chess Master -Anand
(Pencil Sketch  in my Scrapbook)

Cricket Master - Sachin
(Water colour pencils and Brush pens on A3 Scrapbook paper)

After a series of pencil sketches, Susil took out the colours and brushes to splash them on the canvas

Art is joy ...
