Nadeesh Prabou Watercolours

Inspiration:
Inspiration for my works, comes from the moments of “everyday life” in India. It’s really beautiful, when you walk down the streets, you can see the roadside shops filling up the sides, dogs and cows sharing the streets with the people. I usually capture the light that pass through the streets and people on them, whether its summer or heavy rain monsoon. For an artist it’s a fantastic feast for eyes.
Beautiful rainy days:
Rain is the most essential phenomenon for life to exist on earth. Mostly my painting shows the scene on a rainy day depicting the “sound and beauty of rain”. The magic of Rain makes the path of streets shine like a mirror and provides perfect ambience for my creativeness.
My brush captures the ambience of dark skies, rain soaked shiny streets, people with umbrellas, roofs of cars, dancing trees and murmuring sound of rain in a dramatic style.
I try to portray the happiest features and the deepest challenges in my paintings, all that’s explored and still learning…………….

Prabou is a contemporary artist, who works predominantly with watercolours in his works. A medium that has its own set of challenges for an artist both upcoming and seasoned, any painter would vouch for the medium’s delicateness. But, with a finesse that speaks volumes of his command over the medium, the artist meanders adeptly through the complex tone and elements that he has conjured up on the canvas.
Brush strokes capture the various moods of monsoons, a time that could mean both joy and agony,
Prabou’s works are a flight into the world of the mundane.

He plays with dodgy light and shadows, and his effort at humanising art makes it interesting. Light falls on the surfaces, the sun comes through fabric shades. The deft brush strokes and earthy colours are based on meticulous optical observation. “We follow European painters, use Prussian blue, crimson. In my early years I did the same. Now I use raw amber, muted ochre and black, I get the muddy India, the heat and dust.
