I had once gone on white water rafting in teesta river with my family, and any scene with rapids always remind me of that wonderful experience. White water is a challenge as you have to paint water with very little colours! watercolors on handmade paper 16 x 9 inch #watercolorartist #aquarelle #aquerla #artistoninstagram #landscapeart #artbymra #artbymranand #rapids https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjwzbw1rFcg/ https://twitter.com/artbymra/status/1581514768342745089/photo/1

I met three beautiful babies of my Nephew/Niece's at a family gathering recently. They were so energetic some of them crawling or walking, but all of them were always smiling. So I thought it would be a good idea to do a series of baby portraits. Here's the first, Nisha! watercolors on Magnani 300gsm 12 x16 #watercolorartist #artistsoninstagram #aquarellepainting #artbymranand #artbymra #portraitpainting #babygirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CgstPmHI-BH/ https://twitte

Back from Pondicherry and still in the beaching mood, i came across this lovely pic. Reminded me of Anjuna Beach in Goa. I was interested in painting the foam, and receding water making gorgeous patterns on the shoreline. watercolors on 300gsm handmade paper 11 x 16 inch #watercolorartist #aquarellepainting #artistsoninstagram #landscapepainting #artbymranand #artbymra https://www.instagram.com/p/CgGRywFohsA/
It was a pleasant July morning sunrise on the rocks next to the sea in Pondicherry. What better way to celebrate than to add a few colours to the sketch book, paint the boats, beach and the bungalow.

Mangalore tiled houses tucked away in-between coconut trees and foliage is a cliche scene in the repertoire of artists from peninsular India. I haven't ventured much so far as i dread painting these coconut trees. Finally I decided to step out of my comfort zone and face my fears :-) Watercolors on 300 gsm handmade paper 16 x 11 inch #artistsoninstagram #watercolorartist #watercolourpainting #landscapepainting #aquarellepainting #konkanhouse #artbymranand #artbymra https

The houses in these Greek Islands in Aegean Sea are an artist's delight. They are so picturesque that your can paint them again and again. Though i had done a small painting of a doorway and bougainvillea earlier, this is my first grand scale attempt.

Its always interesting to try new perspectives, and with the advent of drones it is easier to find such scenes, even if there are no vantage points around the scene. I came across this on TV; the colours and the scene fascinated me.
