“Watercolor and it’s application have become a moving force, directing and enriching my life.” Theresa R Einhorn
In the year 2019, I was at New Mangalore Port with my husband who is a marine officer. Our ship was berthed opposite to the the scene that I am posting today. From the porthole of our cabin, I watched the loading taking place on the geared bulk carrier on the opposite berth. I painted this experience on Chitrapat handmade paper ( one of my favourite papers for Watercolor painting ).*
Since it was a morning scene, I kept the sky a little warm at the horizon using raw sienna colour. For the ocean I used a mix of ultramarine blue and cerulean blue ( Camlin Artist watercolor tubes ). The ship anatomy is pretty complicated and it’s not possible to get all intricate details, however I tried to get in the cranes, the accommodation and the cranes. Painting a personal experience is always such a pleasure.
Apart from Camel, I have also used Winsor and Newton Cotman paints .
