I often skip the initial heavy pencil sketches to keep my watercolor strokes fresh and intuitive. It is about letting the medium flow—sometimes the water decides where the pigment goes, and that is where the real magic happens for the audience to see. ### How My Live Watercolor Sessions Work Painting in front of an audience requires a different mindset than working in the studio. Whether it is a corporate event, a festival like the Kalakari, or a museum demonstration, the process becomes a shared experience. I bring my portable easel, archival watercolor paper, and professional-grade pigments to set up anywhere—indoors or outdoors. ### My Approach: From Hampi to Portraits My training at the JJ School of Art taught me the discipline, but my practice is about spontaneity. I specialize in capturing the essence of historical architecture, like the stone structures of Hampi, and the subtle expressions in portraiture. * **Technique Explanation:** I explain the play of light and shadow as I work. * **Engagement:** Guests can watch the painting come to life from a blank sheet to a finished piece. * **Medium:** I primarily use professional-grade watercolors that allow for that fluid, translucent quality which is perfect for capturing atmosphere. ### Practical Details If you are planning an event, these sessions usually run up to 3 hours. You get the original signed artwork at the end of the session, which makes for a unique memento. I handle all the logistics, including travel within the Mumbai Metropolitan Area and Thane. My focus is on delivering a performance that is as engaging to watch as the final painting is to look at. ## About Sanket Thorat Hi, I am Sanket. My base is the JJ School of Art, but my real practice happens out in the open, wherever I can find a canvas and some light. I do not believe in over-planning my live sessions; I prefer letting the energy of the crowd and the movement of the water guide the brush.
