Little character VERY inspired by @hummingfluff. I think I'd like to do a whole bunch of these.

Back to painting and posting after a busy traveling week.

View from my window. Swipe to see the several versions I tried at different times of day. Long way to go to get the actual light and shadows. #gouache #study #observationaldrawing #gouachepainting #illustration #pleinair #urbansketch https://www.instagram.com/p/BypRVnlFHf2/?igshid=1r58huex38xdx

Since we're doing a costume design module here at the college, here's an ages old warrior doodle. So many things could be better but I love the doorway, the dark skin and the sword. #watercolor #penandwash #illustration #characterdesign #sketchbook #artistsofinstagram #intricate #indianartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Byk0r0Dlts8/?igshid=1x5jpkd9n311p

Endless Knot. Found this in my sketchbook from a couple years ago. I remember it started as a rough sketch for some wall art for a Buddhist friend while traveling. But I was traveling in Thailand and it was a Sunday and I couldn't find any paints anywhere! So it just traveled on with me in my sketchbook.   ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #endlessknot #wisdom #compassion #symbol #watercolor #buddhist #sketchbook #neon #artistsofinstagram #beauty #instaart #acrylicpainting #storyteller #painting #art #colorsofadream #artistsofbangalore #artistsofinstagram #indianartists https://www.instagram.com/p/Byh7gU7FMRi/?igshid=ave31m68h9kj

I made this painting for baby Elias and AMAZING Healer Ma @amyjayalakshmi a few months ago. Amy had asked for a Ganesh mantra, and spiders and butterflies who visited her regularly during the pregnancy. So that's what you see in it, in one of my favorite color palettes. It felt so good to paint something so personal for someone and to have a baby enjoying it like this is SO touching. The whole experience of making and sending it (to Hawaii!!) was really precious. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for trusting me with this Amy!! An honor, to be sure :D   ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #inspiration #comission #paintingforababy #artistsofinstagram #beauty #instaart #acrylicpainting #storyteller #painting #art #storm #colorsofadream #artistsofbangalore #artistsofinstagram #indianartists https://www.instagram.com/p/BycIr3MF1nd/?igshid=ztcrliq2djrf

Scanned in another sketchbook 😁 much explorations in this one, with subject matter, medium as well as style. I've been trying to see what comes most naturally through me. I'd love some feedback from the artists who see this, especially around color. #inspiration #practicedaily #artistsofinstagram #beauty #instaart #muralartist #watercolor #illustration #watercolour #mountainart #explorationart #sketchbook #indianartists #love (at Woxsen School of Arts & Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByaSp69lh21/?igshid=1b8kk4u8qniyi
