Here in this artwork you can see a scene of a village. Here I have used watercolour and pen. I have used opaque white to paint the distant village huts. This is a fully imaginative work . I am happy with the final outcome.

This is another watercolour painting I have done recently. Dalhousie square is one of the busiest place in Kolkata. For numerous reasons  I have to visit here occasionally. In this composition I have intentionally used the white while painting the bus and the zebra crossing.

Sharing another painting  from Rural India series. This is a scene of a village in Howrah district ,West Bengal. I always love to paint Indian villages. Here you can see village dwellers are busy with their household activities. The presence of strong light made the painting more vibrant.

Rural India - a village scene

Painting on paper (watercolour )

This is one of my favourite composition. I always love to visit  Indian village areas. People   with different religions live here peacefully and amidst sweet amity. Often we can get the breathtaking view of the local river running by the side of the village. It looks nice from a distance. 

During various festivals the villagers enjoys within themselves. Different cultural functions are held throughout the year. Village fair is also an important recreation in the life of villagers. I have a dormant desire in the core of my heart to paint more from the life of  village people.

A Lonely Lighthouse

Painting on paper (watercolour)

Title - A Lonely Lighthouse

© Shubhankar  Adhikari 

This is a fully imaginative work created by me last week. It was the result of the inspiration  I had gained  by visiting a lighthouse in Vizag, Andhra Pradesh.

In the Indian coastal side , we can get these types of lonely lighthouses  standing firmly against all the climatic disasters. This is quite inspiring to me. When I visited Visakhapatnam last January , I noticed two light houses there.

First time in my life I had entered into a lighthouse in Visakhapatnam .  I perched the top of the the lighthouse to see the "Bay Of Bengal" from here. A breath taking view of the sea  was waiting for the visitors . I captured many shots . Cool gentle breeze was passing by. The day was sunny. I was deeply motivated by the scenic view from there . The Lighthouse is situated on the hill top. The big ships were looking like a small ant from there. 

Abstract Landscape

The idea of this abstract landscape came in my mind when I was just roaming on the beautiful Yarada Beach in Andhra Pradesh near Visakhapatnam. I have mentioned in my previous post that I have recently toured Visakhapatnam , Rushikonda,Yarada beach,Shimachalam, Bheemlipatnam and other beautiful places in Andhra Pradesh . 

Yarada Beach is one of the beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life. Perfect spot for open air painting. The beach is very lonely .Surrounded by blue hills and coconut trees.The view of  Bay of  Bengal is awesome  from the Yarada Beach. Next time when I will visit Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu,Karnataka, Kerela

Last week I went to  Bolpur,Shantiniketan . The place is really nice and green. I visited 

Sonajhuri forest ,Kopai river, Vishwabharati University campus and other places. 

The tour was  a memorable one. I noticed this  beautiful village scene from the train . I captured it into my camera. Later I transformed it into a painting.

Travelling is great stimulus for my creative journey and I have been fortunate enough visiting various parts of India. My passion for my art and my love for the wonderful medium of watercolour is revealed through my varied subject matter. I always like to capture the mood and atmosphere of the city I visit through my paintings.

My watercolour art is not merely a translation of what I see, but a depiction of  how I want to view the world . I love to work from life ,photographs and imagination. Working with this incredibly versatile medium, I always remain very careful about choosing my tools . To gain some real enjoyment of artistic expression you should be serious about selecting your working materials. A serious relationship with your working tools can really give you the pure joy of artistic expression in the long run
