Semmozhi Poonga - May 2017

I did not have much time on location since the park opens late and I had a lunch appointment and had to leave this venue early. I took around 15 to 20 minutes to make a pen and ink sketch of this open air theatre at Semmozhi Poonga and then moved on to my second sketch of the morning. I coloured both later at home with coloured ball point pens.

This was my second sketch of the day at Semmozhi Poonga. Once again a very quick one with pen and ink and then I was off for the day, I completed this one later using colour ball point pens.

A Gem Of A 9th Century Temple

This is a small and lovely 9th century temple built next to a lake bund close to Melpadi in Vellore District, in the Southern Indian state of Tamilnadu. My wife and I visited this place on one of our quarterly heritage tours with a group called Mystical Palmyra.

This was my second sketch of the day at Semmozhi Poonga. Once again, since I had to dash off that morning to another appointment after only a brief sketching session, this a very quick sketch with pen and ink and then I was off for the day, I completed this one too later using colour ball point pens.
