New Year, New Sketches

Started 2026 with a fresh sketchbook — daily fifteen-minute studies of whatever the morning light lands on. After three decades, the fifteen-minute constraint still teaches the most.

Spring Workshop Series

Five weekends of ballpoint workshops in Belgaum. Watching new students discover that pressure control is really breath control never gets old.

Heritage Doors Project

Began a new series documenting old doorways around the district before the monsoon and redevelopment take their toll. Twenty doors planned; eleven drawn so far.

Monsoon Light Studies

The rainy season turns the studio into a softbox — studied the way wet air diffuses light on the stone house across the street. Several translucent layers later, the drawing finally looked like the weather.

Preparing the Online Collection

Spent the week reviewing and cataloguing the permanent collection: dimensions, categories, and the small stories behind each piece. The new gallery shares them properly now.
