Bangalore sketchcrawl 30-Mar

This was my 3rd sketchcrawl but the 1st in Bangalore. The earlier 2 were in Delhi.

Three people went for the sketchcrawl - myself, Nithya Swaminathan and Anand Bora. We took it on 30-Mar since sunday was most convenient for all.
I did two quick sketches when waiting for Nithya at the bus-stop.


We went to Samkrut which is an art school in Jayanagar. Shobha Nagendran who runs this school was interested in joining us but a recent heel surgery kept her from doing that. So we dropped down to say hullo and she has promised to join us next time. Anand also joined us here. No sketches were done at the first place

We moved to Lal Bagh and did a couple of sketches there. You can also find a picture of me(in the left) and Anand.

sketches from lal bagh...





from here we moved to gandhi bagh market... there was a lot to sketch here but too crowded to be at ease. i managed to do 2 sketches though


We moved to MG road and had a cup of coffee and some sandwiches. I made a quick sketch of the view of the book store from the coffee shop.

We called it a day after this....

It was fun and I look forward to the next sketchcrawl and will definitely make it colourful next time

I had planned out a sketchcrawl for a group but unfortunately others could not join me for one reason or the other. The most common being that in India we have 6 days a week work schedule and no one wanted to take a day off for the sketchcrawl. So enrico next time we have the sketchcrawl, request you to keep it on a sunday.
I started at 9.00 in a orissa temple, hauz khas village which is in south delhi. ere's a painting of the temple,This is the offering for the gods in the temple,

By the time I finished my prayers and the two paintings, it was about 11.45 and the sun had come overhead. I could barely walk on the marble floor of the temple due to the heat.
I moved to barista[a cafe] from here. The next sketch was made before I had my brunch and the perspective looks terrible as I was really hungry. The painting is better as it was done after I had the sandwich and coffee :lol:
From here I moved to a park and sketched this bench. There was a guy sleeping on the bench but he woke up before i could even start sketching him :cry: . Need to be quicker next time. And please do not miss that little squirrel near the right leg of the bench. The squirrel was fast..less than 2 minutes :)

That was the end of my day. Will try to be quicker next time and do more sketches.

p.s. As some of you will be new to the concept of sketchcrawl, thought it would be good to leave these links explaining what sketchcrawl is...

This is the explanation of how the concept of the Sketchcrawl was born and what it has developed into - by Enrico Casarosa, the bloke who dreamt it up.
