This post is about another art party we had in the city earlier this January.
It was a saturday afternoon, which is usually when I hang out with my friends in the city as everyone works full time now and everyone is free only on the weekends. My sister was also contacted through a mutual friend by Dan and Kaitlin, a couple backpacking across India who were in town for the weekend. They're also and musicians and artists and based on how awesome our previous art parties were, we hosted another art party, including them.
After contacting our local squad we assembled at our house and kicked off the evening with high tea, where my mom made some great snacks and we of course had tea.
This art party had a little bit of a twist, as we also had musicians to add to the creative energy of the group. Dan brought along his travel cello and my friend Alex brought his guitar. They were jamming and providing a beautiful soundtrack while the rest of us drew or painted.
We didn't have a particular theme and everyone just went along with the flow of the music, drawing whatever they wanted. Here's what we all came up with.
Kaitlin
Kaitlin used watercolours to create some psychedelia with abstract shapes and colours.
Karunya
Karunya used pastels and watercolours to explore different organic forms.
Bhavya
Bhavya used watercolours and ink to render this awesome drawing from a garden photo.
Yours Truly
I used a lot of geometric lines using pens of different thicknesses for my creative exploration.
My parents were also part of the party and joined in on the art and music. When we were done with our art we moved over to Alex's house for a regular Saturday night of merry making and revelry. This was the last art party we had before I had to move back to the hills to continue my permaculture journey. It was great time and we all had a lot of fun. I later caught up with Dan and Kaitlin in Kodaikanal as they continued their backpacking trip.
