Landscapes of India: Konkan Greens and Varanasi Ghats

It's always a delight to paint with watercolor, it's such a beautiful medium. This is another landscape inspired by the greens of the Konkan coast, painted on paper with Daniel Smith watercolors.

Two quick landscape sketches I did in watercolor on paper. Landscape painting is not easy and requires a lot of practice, especially for someone like me who usually paints cityscapes.

I call this 'The Power of Silence'. It's a landscape study in monochrome, using only black and white watercolor on paper to create a moody, atmospheric scene.

A panoramic landscape painting in watercolor on Baohong cold press paper. I did this on a Sunday, and it felt great to paint a watercolor landscape after a long time.

This landscape is from a workshop with watercolor master Joe Dowden. I'm happy with this simple outcome, as I am more of a cityscape painter.

This piece was from a workshop with the legendary David Taylor. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from two different masters at the IWS watercolor festival.

A street in the city of Prayagraj, painted in watercolor. I clicked this scene during my visit for the Mahakumbh. I wanted to sketch on location but didn't have time, so I'm painting from my memories.

An Old Delhi street scene, painted in watercolor on 9x12 inch Lana aquarelle paper. I enjoyed creating an Indian street scene after a long break.

This was my demonstration piece for a watercolor workshop I conducted at the Lemon Tree resort in Manesar. It was for the Golden Jubilee celebration of IIT Delhi, and I had a great time painting with the fun-loving group.
