where time stand still

I spent one night at kasol on my way to manikaran and I cannot forget the night at this place. calm, very himachali night. I have some old memories attached to this location. so it was nostalgic feeling.

I have done this painting using S Pen on sketchbook pro.

Something from my game!

I play red dead redemption a lot, so far one of the best game I ever played. The graphics and concept art is breathtaking and this quick sketch is inspired from that game.

Sketchbook pro with new stylus resulted inbeautiful painting depicting "maseed" the last symbol of life in this materialistic world. 

I'm Brimmed with Experience

The Baba

I'm respected in this world not for my old age or experience but for my beard and turban. They are the symbol of respect, enthusiasm and power. learn something from me and you will lead a satisfied and peaceful life.


This is the theme of my new sketch. took me a long time to find such beautiful face.

Digital painting Part 3

I have been concentrating on my digital paintings for quite a while for two reasons, one I have become lazy doing proper pencil sketch and second Its very easy to do digital painting even in staying in the bed but I don't want to make It my habit of doing some technological work. Pencils have always been great and fun and soon I'll be producing another sketch.

Well lets concentrate on my current blog which is "Digital painting Part 3". The fort in the painting was done by me ( www.facebook.com/maniisart) long time ago and I have just given some digital touch to it. Please enjoy and share.

happy :digital painting: :)

Digital Painting 1

 this is my first experiment with sketch book pro software. unlike pencils and pencil colors, there is no freedom while coloring or drawing the subject. well this is my first atempt and here is the outcome

i hope you guys will enjoy.  

The Gaze

ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖ ਕੀ ਫ਼ੌਜ ॥ 
khhaalasaa kaal purakh ki fauj ||
Khalsa is God's Army

ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਓ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਤਮ ਕੀ ਮੌਜ ॥ 
pragattiou khhaalasaa pramaatham kee mauj ||
It's sustained by the Will of the Almighty

ਜਬ ਲਗ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਰਹੇ ਨਿਆਰਾ ॥ 
jab lag khhaalasaa rehae niaaraa ||
While the Khalsa remains pure

ਤਬ ਲਗ ਤੇਜ ਕੀਉ ਮੈਂ ਸਾਰਾ ॥ 
thab lag thaej keeo mai(n) saaraa ||
I will give it all my strength

ਜਬ ਇਹ ਗਹੈ ਬਿਪਰਨ ਕੀ ਰੀਤ ॥ 
jab eih gehai biparan kee reeth ||
When they mimic the habits of others

Traditional Cooking

Traditional "Tauri"on "Chulla". A superb cooking instrument from bygone era. Symbol of patience and an art of cooking on slow heat. The Punjab's famous dishes like Dal Makhani, Saro Da Saag and other dishes originated from this cooking method.

This set up has been replaced by modern cooking instruments and Its hard to find "Chulla"in Punjab's village these days.

 Color pencils and normal lead pencils on 140 gsm paper.

Available for sale please email me and I will send you full brochures.

Thanks 

My First SKETCH>>>>

well this is my first commissioned work. actually its not exactly commissioned but for practice sake I've done portrait of my friend and her partner. I haven't showed it  to her and I don't know how she will react to this portrait. I've tried my best to sketch them but  there  are  shortcomings which always go unoticed. I will never be satisfied with my sketches. 

Happy sketching....

Vaisakhi_special

This is very common theme in Punjab. Tubewell or "Bumbi" in Punjabi - is a center place of field that provide water to whole field.  A soothing hangout in hot summers for people toiling hard under scorching heat of sun. Many folklore originated from here as well.

Nehar da kinara hove......

Nehar da kinara hove, suta jag sara hove
Akhiya nu akhiya dee, chup da ishara hove
Dur ksay pind vich, neeli neeli jheel hove
Mein hova naal mere jaan toh piyara hove
Nehar da kinara hove, suta jag sara hove....


Rivers of punjab are great, serene and quiet. Scenic beauty at the time of dusk can make you feel divine.

This sketch dedicated to such canal called "sidwa canal" where I have spent some good time with my friends ....

Happy sketching
