Line without wash - Monk's garden


One may ask what did I do during the lock-down days. It seems like only work and more work...Work and Home have blended together these days and I seem to be working in my corner more and more. The only advantage is my side desk with my art stuff and a window. I have been recently interested in Line and Wash technique and as I was searching for a subject, I just had to look out of the window. Monk's garden - Ram's pride and joy :)





I took some pictures and started sketching them with pencils and then used my micron pens to layer over it. My lines are not neat and my shading is hasty. But i liked the black and white much that I am posting them here before I add the watercolors.

The first is our shed with my Buddha painting. The second is the Ganesha centerpiece - George's gift. The third is our adirondack chairs and you can see the shed in the far top left. I have more pictures that I can work on.. so this space will get updated.

I will also be adding the watercolors to these and this will change .. but then that is another post.

Lock-down diaries!
