  In spite of located in the prime hub of the city Gokhale Institute of politics and economics has maintained its unique pictureseque Campus. The above painting is of the bunglow of Gopal krishna Gokhale who was the founder of the same. This institute is known to be the oldest research and trainting centre in the country. Many eminent personalities like gopal ganesh agharkar, Mahatma gandhi, Tilak used to visit this place for imp. discusssions. This one is another building in the same campus with mixture of old and new architecture. Even though there was somewhat disappointment with the fusion but I was getting nice graphical composition with plain white patch and leafless branches of trees in front. 

  A quick sketch of plants in the corner of my balcony is what I could manage to do for today. Nice  soft light falling on plants was making interesting shadow patterns on the floor. Maybe I could have shown that pattern more by shifting pot's placement little bit upward but never mind this subject always acts as a backup when there is little time to paint or confusion of what to paint today!

  Shanipaar Chowk is a four way junction in Pune where an old temple of Shani(god) lies at one side and famous historical structure, vishram baug wada on the other. Whenever I pass by this chowk I always think of sketching these old buildings while waiting for my signal turn to green. But it is always so crowded and I drop the idea there itself. Some spots in the old city are good to sketch in the early morning hours only as shops are about to open and streets are yet to get crowded.  The above sketch is done on the spot and later one done on half sheet at home. Sometimes I feel sketching on the spot is more fun as you get to see, sense and feel that place. Obeserve it and actually translate it onto the paper... 

It was an early start of the day with wornderful morning light after yesterday's heavy showers. Visited an old institite in our city. The main building's artchitecture is from british colonial era with a beautiful garden in the front. Here are my two attempts of plein air!!

  Today I continued with Metro construction work. Did a small sketch of these parked trailers from a flyover. Later on paitned this on half imperial sheet. It was a good vehicle study!

  So here is my first post of today’s work. I ventured out to sketch ongoing metro work in my city. For so long I was planning to sketch metro construction sites which offer different subjects and totally different angles. I could manage to sketch these two on site. It was interesting to talk to site engineers, workers who were eager to see the development of my sketches and ready to pose for some clicks for reference pictures as well😊
