Urban Sketching: Capturing Delhi on Paper

Here I am setting up my easel for a day of urban sketching at Sunder Nursery in Delhi. These plein air sessions are a great way to connect with nature and fellow artists.

This is a soft pastel painting I created during an outdoor art session at Mahagun Moderne. I love showing my students how to capture the scenery around them, from the buildings to the greenery.

Our group had an amazing time at the Lodhi Art District, sketching the incredible murals. I used pastels on paper to create my own interpretation of the colorful street art.

This is what my outdoor workshops are all about: good company, beautiful locations like India Gate, and creating art together. I love seeing everyone proudly display their watercolor paintings at the end of our session.

Painting the beautiful tulips at Lodhi Garden was a wonderful experience. I used watercolors to capture the vibrant pinks and the soft morning light in this plein air painting session.

A beautiful Sunday morning spent sketching the magnificent Red Fort in Delhi. This video shows my process of using pen and watercolor to capture the monument's details, from the initial sketch to the final vibrant artwork.

A glimpse into our sketching session at Safdarjung Tomb. You can see one of our talented participants deeply focused, followed by my finished A4 size painting of the beautiful monument.

This video showcases some of the pen sketches created during our visit to Qutub Minar. I enjoy teaching how to use line work and shading to capture the texture and form of historic architecture.

Me at the Mehrauli flower market, holding up some of the watercolor sketches from our session. It's a place bursting with color and life, perfect for artists.
