Sketches of the Day
Today I participated in a landscape sketching/painting competition (I did not win a prize). I did this pen and ink sketch for the competition. This is the area around the competition venue.
There was a two and half hr break after the sketches were submitted and before the announcement of results. So I went to Pune University for passing my time, and did this sketch on location.

Urban Sketching – Vaidya Misal, Pune
Did these ultra quick sketches (5 mins each) when I was enjoying Misal with green “tarri” at the typical old Pune restaurant .. Vaidya Misal today.
Sketched the overall ambiance in one sketch, and then sketched a group of men sitting at the opposite table. They were engrossed in a heated discussion about all things men .. like money, women, sports and weight loss!
After the waiter brought my tea, he noticed me sketching under the table and looking at the sketches, actually recognized which table I was drawing out of the packed restaurant!
City Lane
I was having tea in a small tea shop in a lane near Karve Road, Pune, when I happened to notice this very cluttered by lane and the intricate shadows cast upon the ground and buildings. I quickly took some pictures with my phone cam, and did this pen and ink sketch yesterday.
Lenyadri Caves – A Pen and Ink Sketch
Did this pen and ink sketch of Lenyadri Caves in Maharashtra, from a photo shared by a friend.
Lenyadri is one of the temples of Ashta Vinayak.
The more I draw such monuments, the more aware I become of the rich heritage India and Maharashtra have.
