BTW since I have stopped travelling I have not drawn for the past few weeks. Once I settle down, I shall pick up again and keep posting.

Nice to see more sketches added to the blog! <BR/><BR/>Reg your question in my post, I usually sketch spontaneously on the spot. However most of my paintings have been from my reference photographs of places. Occasionally I have painted using my sketches as references. Of late I have started taking my easel and painting directly on location. I find this greatly enjoyable.arvindhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05446225783704208363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-49110919591349460202007-08-24T22:18:00.000+01:002007-08-24T22:18:00.000+01:00balaji, as usual great sketch work. i liked kapil...balaji,<BR/> as usual great sketch work. i liked kapil and brando. it is always nice to get a piece of work completed and when it comes to art, i mean real art, it gives much more satisfaction. keep your sketch work going. they are rockingSwamy Srinivasan aka Kittu Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185123570725765147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-11123022093274169462007-08-24T17:14:00.000+01:002007-08-24T17:14:00.000+01:00You are very creative.

I really do not know whether it is linked to our Madras.
