KC Park, Chennai

[Balaji]

I went sketching on location yesterday with a group called the Chennai Weekend Artists. This was our 512th event. We used to meet once a week from 2012 onwards, but we stopped doing that during the covid lockdowns, and we have met very infrequently since then.

Yesterday we met at a recently opened public park called the Kalaignar Centenary Park, located opposite the Semmozhi Poonga, another much liked park in the heart of the city. This new park is to the East of the US Consulate Building. My sketch was done with a flex nib pen and is approximately A4 size.

I like the perspective and the details.

Thank you Chaithram.

Beautifully done with so much detail. I’m smiling. And to be out with other artists is a plus.

Another winner! Approximately how long did this take? You have so much talent and patience! The scale of the figures and the depth you achieved is excellent.

I totally agree...being out sketching/painting with other artists is such a pleasure. And, in this instance, I was seeing many of them after a long break.

I am not sure how long this took because our sketching group was meeting after a long break, and consequently there were many interruptions to chat and catch up. I probably took around ninety minutes to do this.
