Extreme Weather Captured on Canvas by Nadeesh Prabou!

Mimicking nature is no small task, especially when it involves a moody and constantly swinging factor such as the weather. Yet, watercolour artist from Pondicherry, Nadeesh Prabou, attempts to bring to life nature's aspects in the most realistic representations possible, through his watercolour paintings of different weather situations

Inspiration Shapes Gives Flow to One's Work.

Inspiration is important, and being inspired is what gives direction to not only your chosen style of art but also the way you actually conceive it during execution; unfold it on the canvas, and finally manifest it as a whole.

Likewise, the weather has always inspired Nadees Prabou, ever since his childhood. He's always admired the varying force and power of nature, and the impact it has on the surroundings, including the lives of beings (be it trees, animals or people) that are subject to it. An example of this being evident would be factors such as the strong force of the wind, and the dampness everywhere around, portrayed in his paintings that depict the monsoon time.

The Artist's Fluctuating Mood, Just Like The Weather, Affects The Larger Picture.

To depict weather means to mimic its aliveness, and that is something not easy to do. Yet, it is something that can be seen in his paintings through the blending of contrasting shades, monotones used to depict a typical form of different weather conditions, and techniques he seemingly applies, such as those of spreading or smudging, loose and irregular forms, the characteristic or typical watercolour effects and the likes.

This effective use of colours to achieve the depth in portraying the right atmosphere ican't be explained in words, as he feels that it's something to be observed practically only and feel it. This is probably because the moods he starts out depicting at the beginning of the painting process, might end up differently towards the end, and could be completely different in the final output, constantly fluctuating, as does his mood like the very weather.

Following Trends or not is a Personal Choice One has to Make.

Each artist has an individual and respective view or opinion about going by creative trends that might be in vogue at the time, and so also about either accepting or defying them to various personally defined extents. In Nadees's case, he feels that it is effective to be a "Contemporary Artist" rather than being a realistic artist, which might generally translate to producing whatever catches an audience's attention at that point in time. As a result, he admits to including creative practices that may be in trend at the time, into his paintings.
