Kodhai's Dream and Kala Yatra



Went to an Indian dance performance at Barnsdall Park and did a bunch of very quick watercolor sketches. The Rangoli Dance Company performed Kodhai's Dream, based on the sacred writings/sayings (Thiruppavai and Nachiar Thirumozhi) of the saint poet Aandal, called Kodhai (from the program). The first three pages are from this performance.

The other three pages are from the second half of the performance which was called Kala Yatra, by Murali Mohan Kalvakalva and his group.


These paintings are really quick. I haven't really tried to make them precise or labored...not that I could in the time, but I think it is useful practice. Got a chance to test out some new watercolor paint, brushes and sketchbook too!
