136: Soft Pastels Sketch: Cowasjee Dinshaw Hall & Library, Pune Camp, India

Cowasjee Dinshaw Hall & Library, East Street, Pune Camp, India.

Sitting on the busy city streets alongwith the Urban Sketchers Pune group is indeed a heady thing to do. There's a peculiar fire in the atmosphere to do your best. Just cannot catch up with others doing multiple sketches within the 1 & 1/2 hours that we get. Plus most of the finishing work remains to be continued after getting back home. But its definitely fun nevertheless.
