Portrait Commission

sathyapriya — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 04:25:00 +0000

I did a portrait painting for Indhu recently, she wanted a 11′ X 16″ portrait of her mother…..after doing a tonal charcoal study and a colour study, I started the final draft. She is very happy about the outcome, I too felt satisfied that I didn’t copy the photo as such, I tried to interpret the colours differently. I didn’t want to loose the continuation, so completed in 2 episodes of 2 1/2 hours the same day.
Thank you Indhu for giving me this opportunity, somehow the finishing stages felt divine

St Anne’s Church (1963) – Charcoal Sketch on location

sathyapriya — Sat, 21 Mar 2015 08:59:00 +0000

A Happy accident! I sketched my first session of St Anne’s Church on last Friday and kept my charcoal sketch on the table…..my 2 yr old little daughter has sprayed a fine mist of water with the spray bottle(we use it to water our tiny terrariums) and by the time I saw my sketch, it was dry to touch……and the resulting texture was so good, I completed my sketch preserving it.

My sketch of Sri Sivan Temple, Geylang East Avenue 2 for the February Sketchwalk with Urban Sketchers Singapore……………Charcoal on paper.

I had to rush home, so couldn’t wait for the “Show and tell session” but met fellow sketchers near the temple, hope there are more sketches of the temple. This is my first time visit to this temple, the architecture is a mix of North and South Indian styles, very interesting to sketch the intricacies.
