Night at the city, watercolor, 35 x 50 cm (14 x 20") This work depicts that day in the rainy season where the rain splashes with the glittering lights on the streets, showing the way of life. The dark silhouette of the different buildings weighs in close proximity to the shape of the city. They impressed me and inspired me to draw this picture.
Worldly impressions M
y paintings are mostly about things around me and the impressions I have gotten from my travelling. I focus on the composition of the painting, life and the mood of moments. All of this is what I see and feel while painting. I usually do a rough sketch in my sketchbook first to set the composition of the painting. I use a pencil to estimate the weight of each color by looking at the details, and I choose only the important parts as it allows greater awareness. It allows me to convey my true feelings
expressed through the artistic process. Then, I draw on my watercolor paper and paint as planned. Wet-into-wet is my first step, but sometimes I may start with wet-on-dry. Then, I will go with dry-on-wet and dry-on-dry in the detail steps. However, when everything is right, I just draw the image on the watercolor paper all at once. I like to mix colors rather than use pure colors. I think the sense of artists show through in this process, and I am able to pass my emotions and feelings to the viewers.
Seto Machhendranath Temple, watercolor, 35 x 50 cm (14 x 20") Nepal is a country I traveled to in late 2016. We have the same religion, although there are some differences; but there was an ease of understanding of the lifestyle here. I like religious architecture. It expresses the power of the faith of the people of the area. The details of the architecture are all significantly linked to people’s minds magically.
