105: Gouache Sketch: Deccan College, Pune, Main Tower

It is certainly so much a pleasure to dabble in a different medium each time you are sketching or painting instead of sticking to a particular medium & even a particular style of painting or sketching. The monotony doesnt exist & the challenge is manifold! At least thats my personal outlook!

So it had to be the Gouache medium this time after a long time. Although water-based, it is opaque, unlike the transparent watercolours. Although the translucent transparency of watercolours is not to be seen in Gouache, its opacity gives it more chance for experimentation & manipulation. And that is fun. 

Deccan College, Yerwada, Pune... Alongwith the Urban Sketchers, Pune.
What magnificent gothic architecture! Truly an artist's delight!
