Wow, what a day it was. Full of greenery. This was the day when I got up at 6:30 am on a holiday took bath (Yes, thats right, it was a holiday) and reached Lalbagh at 7:45 am. I have never been so committed to the office work as I have been to this activity.
As planned, I was the second person to reach Lalbagh. Myself and Jyotirmoy started searching for a place to start. The location can not be more ideal than the one which we chose. A small hilltop from where you can see the lake and is covered by lot of trees, so there was no problem with Sun shining bright and making us sweat.
An ideal location for "plein air" painting. We waited for others to join and slowly but steadily Sankar, Prabhu, Jagdish Kadur, Usha joined us. We started painting and with lots of chatting breaks we continued. Sharing his experiences were professional artist Jagdish Kadur (who runs an art class in Jayanagar and has his own studio, which we visited later that day) as well as Usha and Prabha. Jyotirmoy was sharing his encounters with the great artists of Kolkata, and how he learnt from them.
Overall it was a great day with lots and lots of creativity flowing in and around. We ended the day at 3:00 pm and then straightaway went to Jagdish's Studio to see his paintings which he is going to exhibit in Chitrakala Parishad starting 1st April. It was a very inspiring visit to that place.
Reached home at 6:00 pm and too bath again.
Will post some pics very soon. In the meantime, please visit our official blog http://bangaloreartforum.blogspot.com for some of the pics which were taken on 27th March.
