Plein Air Painting & Watercolor Sketching in Bengaluru

Everyone told me to practice inside, but I found my voice by painting outside. This video shows my process of creating quick landscape studies, proving that the best classroom is often nature itself.

A short reel from a painting trip to rural Bengaluru with a friend. We rode out to find a quiet spot and captured the cloudy skies and green fields. It’s adventures like these that fuel my art.

A finished watercolor piece from a beautiful day in Cubbon Park. I focused on capturing the play of light and shadow on the grass and the quiet figure resting under the large tree.

I often create these small, four-panel storyboards in my sketchbook. It helps me capture different angles and moments from a single scene, like telling a short visual story of my afternoon in the park.

My painting setup on a beach in Goa. Capturing the sunrise over the ocean with my portable easel is a challenge with the changing light, but the result is always worth the effort.

This was my view while painting on a quiet beach in my hometown in Kerala. The fishing boat, the clouds, and the lush greenery are scenes that feel like home and inspire me deeply.

A memorable trekking and painting trip to Hutridurga. We hiked to the top to catch this incredible view and spent time capturing the vast, cloudy landscape with our watercolors.

I don't just walk, I collect quiet moments. This video shows my process of finding inspiration in small things, like fallen flowers in Auroville, and turning them into delicate botanical sketches.

A question for fellow artists while I paint. Do you plan every stroke or let the colors guide you? For me, it's a mix of both, especially when I'm immersed in a peaceful setting like this.
