Sketching Workshop with Sebastian Loerscher

A week back, our office (MOD Institute) in collaboration with NextHamburg and Goethe Institut, Bangalore organized a crowd sourcing exhibition NextBangalore Gatishil for the citizens of Bangalore. A part of the exhibition was a week long sketching workshop for the citizens of Bangalore. The workshop was conducted by Sebastian Loerscher, a very able illustrator and an awesome friend. This workshop comes after three years of his book "Making Friends in Bangalore", which he produced the first time he was in Bangalore.

Without talking about it further, here are some pictures from the workshop, followed by my sketches done during the workshop. Enjoy!

Thank you Sebastian, for being a lovely friend!

Cheers!

A Study in Green and Brown

On the weekend, I went to the Tobacco Square in Panjim to sketch. The difference was I carried nothing with me other than pencil colors, which I have no experience with. Although, the medium was new, I could still manage to sketch decently. As I was using colors, the challenge I gave myself was to sketch things that were green and brown in color. It was exciting to observe things only in two colors. It seemed like I was on a hunt for colors, although, brown and green were not very tough to find. I sketched, in the increasing order of abstraction, the lichen covered bust of Dr. M. C. Dias (eye level), The Mint House (eye level), and a planter with interesting geometry (first floor level, sitting). I think the next challenge might be to sketch in red. I enjoyed using pencil colors. Let's see. Enjoy.
