Brown : People and Places I

A dear friend of mine recently gifted me a sketchbook she bought from Indonesia. Now since the two most popular things in Indonesia are the cinnamon cigarettes and batik, it seemed normal for them to wrap the sketchbook in beautiful batik print. The sketchbook has brown recycled paper, which makes it even more interesting to use. The rough grains of the paper make it an apt medium to sketch on with a pencil. Though, I am uploading a few sketches I made with my pen recently. There are more sketches which I will upload eventually.

Capela du Monde, Old Goa.
This chapel sits on top of a hill in Old Goa and has one of the most beautiful views of Goa. In front one can see the rest of the monuments of Old Goa, and then as the eye drifts, one can see Ribandar, Panjim and Betim. Post sun sets (which is also a spectacle) one can even see the Aguada lighthouse. Then on the right hand side sit the islands of Chorao and Divar. This chapel, is in short, a blissful place. I sketched these last December I think. Enjoy!
