In my opinion, watercolor is love at first sight. Nature is characterised by transparency, vibrancy, fluidity, and unpredictability.
The most organic medium It changes you as a person. How to plan, what to do if a plan fails, and how to turn errors into something positive and beautiful: how to be prepared for unexpected results. Above all, it teaches us to enjoy the surprises and how to accept failure positively.
There are no words to describe the joy of watercolor.
What was the beginning of it all? Back in the 90s, Local Art organised a summer art camp. For the first time, I had the opportunity to participate in the art camp in Nagpur. The joy of painting was so extraordinary that I still remember it. I still remember my first painting, which was a pink lotus flower. I used to stare at the works of senior students for hours. It's really helpful if you start young. Observation skills are developed. Next, one of my father's friends gave me a set of his brushes. He is himself an amazing artist. It was an "artist's brush," and I could feel its responsibility. My journey as an artist began there. I began sketching regularly. Painting, experimenting with various mediums such as acrylic, and learning new things Even so, I did paintings in oil and acrylic. Though I had such a good start, I did not pursue the arts. I graduated in mechanical engineering instead. I got my postgraduate degree in marketing and personnel management from Pune University. After eight years in industrial marketing, I returned to university.
I returned to my old passion of art, especially watercolors. In addition to painting regularly, I was also learning, reading, and observing. My continuous practise has greatly benefited me. Although I had to cover all the basics of art, which may be taught in art school, wonderful artists all over the world have inspired me. I kept reading and studying art literature, and I encourage everyone to do the same. My study of art and discussions with senior artists inspire me every time I read about art or study their works. There is so much I don't know, and I know that I must keep improving, so the quest continues. I feel that I should not be called a "self-taught artist." I see myself as a "self-learning artist." Art is something that requires guidance. As with any field, inspiration and the study of the basics are essential. I mostly like to represent India rather than imitate western locations. Fortunately, the rustic or raw nature of Indian scenes such as farms, villages, and rural areas is preserved. Making a good composition as an artist for such raw scenes is difficult.which might be another motivation for picking up such subjects.
Watercolor goes well and naturally with such locations as villages, houses, and coastal regions.
A second motivation is to represent our country and its beauty abroad.I am inspired by such rural or rustic scenes.
