Apart from soft pastels and charcoals, I love the water colour medium and try to take out time for small works, as and when possible. The paintings below are inspired by the beautiful beaches of Goa namely Uttorda beach and Benaulim beach. I visited these beaches in August end last year. Both these beaches are rather unexplored and tranquil beaches. Perfect for relaxation. Through these two works I got to do two different skies.

Hand made paper works really good for the wet on wet technique as it holds the water for a long time and I get to add colours slowly. However it is not an acid free paper. Therefore I am planning to start using the Arches cold pressed paper very soon. It is expensive but one of the best and widely used by water colour artists around the world.
