Art of Water colour, class 8, Studying Village atmosphere

10-12-2011

Class No. 8 was scheduled at Siddaram Dhinne at Rajajinagar, Bengaluru.

The meeting point was star bazaar between 09:45 to 10 am, which is at the entrance of rajajinagar, most of them were in time and we left the place sharp at 10 thinking others would come directly to the spot.

It is difficult to find a place like village in Bengaluru city, as it has developed a lot since IT sector hit the city to top. Either we need to travel nearly 20km outside the city to get a village atmosphere.  All our participants come from different locality, most of them stay outskirt the city where one has to travel minimum of 10km even if we hold a class at central Bengaluru.  It is then I decided to hold the class at Rajajinagar where I found a village atmosphere at siddaram dhinne.

Everybody were excited  to paint at village, but none were disappointed when they came to Siddaram Dhinne, (which is just 4 km from railway station) when they saw the atmosphere with cock, hen, sheep, cows and houses with mangalore tiles which were a typical scene of village.  People greeted us with a staring  look they did not know why we were there, after talking to some main people they were polite and asked me if I require anything like chair or table to paint.

As usual we started with a sketching session followed by demonstration by Venu

By the time everybody finished the work it was 2:15 and one by one started to leave, finally some of them took correction from venu and left.  It will be a memorable day for everyone.  The whole excitement for them was that lot of people were flocked around them when they were painting, also the children in the locality were excited.  Some of them bought their drawing book and were seen drawing.
