It's a gloomy and cold day today here in Bangalore. The Sun is hardly showing its face. Went to Venkatappa Gallery and Government Museum to sketch with few others and did this sketch early in the morning. It was great to meet many sketching people there on the last Sunday of this year!

State Museum Cafetaria

Kindly click on the image for a bigger view

This is a sketch of the cafeteria area behind the State Museum in Bangalore at Kasturba Gandhi Marg [Road]. I did the Ink sketch while waiting for a couple friend who were leaving the city for good. I added the colors later on at home. This place is very calm, good to seat down for a tea or coffee and very near to Cubbon Park, The Science Museum, The Aquarium and UB City Mall.


To start off on location, I marked some guidelines with a graphite pencil for the main structure, the position of the umbrella, the foreground elements, the tiled layout to get the perspective lines and spacing correct still keeping it loose. Then I sketched over with a Pigma Micron 005 [.20 mm with waterproof ink] pigment liner pen and erased the graphite underlines. I further enhanced some areas with a waterproof Gel ink pen [.50 mm thickness] to give importance. Later on at home, I added the watercolor washes based from my memory.

Medium: Pigma Micron 005 Pigment Liner, Waterproof Gel pen and watercolor.
Size: 5" H x 6 1/2" W.
Time: 90 min. approx.
Source: Sketched live with Ink, colors added later on.
