130: Watercolour Landscape: Aga Khan Palace, Pune

Aga Khan Palace. Pune.

A magnificent piece of architecture & heritage structure & thankfully very well-maintained. 

An overwhelming structure to sketch or paint. So managed a few basic washes plein air with detailing done later on.

Done alongwith the Urban Sketchers Pune.

104: Charcoal Sketch: Shaniwar Wada, Pune

Shaniwar Wada.... after doing the watercolour painting which I posted earlier, just couldnt resist doing this sketch in charcoal of the same monument albeit from a differnt angle. I guess the place itself is so remarkable, it makes an artist restless to try it out in different mediums.

103: Watercolour Painting: Shaniwar Wada Facade, Pune, India | Whatman Paper

Shaniwar Wada.... a historical fortification built by the Peshwe of Pune, India in 1732.

Although the actual palace inside which had been the residence of the Peshwes and witness to all things good & bad, has been long since destroyed, the peripherial fortification with its massive & impressive main gate, the Delhi Darwaza, still stands tall.

What better subject for an artist to draw out his tools & paint away!!!
