Old city by-lanes
Graphite sketch of by lanes of an old Indian city.
This tranquil graphite sketch of an old Indian city captures the historic and cultural aesthetic of the place. The impulsive lines, texture of the graphite and monochrome palette are evocative of the mysterious mood of the painting. The one line perspective adds depth to the overall composition inviting the viewer to experience a sense of time travel to another place in another time. The domed architecture and tiny windows, typical of old havelis in Rajasthan, serve an  aesthetic as well as practical purpose of keeping the heat at bay as well as discreetly keep an eye on passers by. An interesting piece to add a sense of nostalgia and spark conversations.
