These are quick watercolour sketches done directly with brush on paper (without preliminary pencil sketches) on 300 gsm Chitrapat watercolour paper. I spent about 15 to 20 minutes on each. The objective of the exercise was to build up confidence in using a brush instead of a pencil or pen.

This was done in 2020 when I was confined to my home due to the covid lockdowns. I did follow up this exercise and improved my watercolour skills. But over the next few years I progressively lost some degree of control over my hands. For the last eighteen months or so, the focus for me has been to undo that damage and regain some degree of control once again.

Beautiful and amazing! I couldn't do that well with a drawing first, and these were done so quickly! Very fresh looking.
