"Good drawing forms the 'bones' on which a strong painting hangs." Chris Bingle
Before I start off with my painting, I like to study the subject so as to get an understanding of the composition, the colours, the values and the techniques that I will apply in order to get the effect that I am visualizing in the mind. My vision of the artwork must meet what I create on paper.
The soft pastel artworks as below are of two majestic trees as seen and photographed at Kaveri river bank, Dubare forest near Coorg. During monsoon the river is overflowing and hence these exposed roots are not visible as they are submerged under water. We visited this place during the month of March when the water flow was bare minimum and I got to photograph some of these old archaic trees

Every tree has its unique character, shape, form and identity. It's a great experience to sketch and paint these graceful elements of nature.
The "study works" as above will guide me in future to create a larger painting if required.
