Same Canvas, New Flow

Another progression in my small paintings. The canvas sizes remain the same; I’ve just switched to a box with a larger mixing area.

Darjeeling

Darjeeling Town, sketched from a photograph I took earlier. A small attempt to capture the charm of the hill town.

Urban sketching on location with my tiny setup

After doing four studies over the last two days, today I stepped out with it. I’m not fully satisfied with the results yet, but I want to continue and explore more.

A Busy Scene in a Tiny Frame

Trying a slightly more complex scene with people in it. Before stepping out with my tiny painting kit for tomorrow’s sketch meet, I wanted to be a bit prepared—especially to see if I can capture people at such a small scale. The scene is from Koley Market, from a photograph I took a while back.

The house at Kumortuli

Continuing my tiny painting series. The House at Kumortuli, Kolkata, painted from a photograph I took a while ago. Trying to see how much I can include within such a small canvas.

Bartir Bill

It’s another tiny painting I did yesterday, and I must say I’m really enjoying it right now. A painting based on a photograph I took at Bartir Bill.

Painting Small

Trying for the first time to do a tiny painting with watercolor and white on my portable small watercolor palette. I don’t use that palette anymore for watercolor because it has become rusted. Recently I saw tiny paintings done on a tin box, but those were done with oil paint. So I thought—why not give it a try?

Back to the Street with Colors

After a couple of weeks, I attended the Sunday meet with the Urban Sketchers Kolkata group. The place—or maybe the subject—didn’t excite me much, but it was still fun to sit on the street and mess around with colors.

Waiting at Babughat

A quick watercolor sketch from the Babughat transit camp. Just a small moment of people waiting and talking, painted loosely with simple washes.
