Konkan at its best

Bhaskar Sagar will be showcasing the beautiful coastal regions of Maharashtra in his solo watercolour exhibition titled, Konkan.u00a0This is the sixth consecutive year that the graduate in commercial arts from Abhinav Art College in Pune is having an exhibition of his artworks.

Bhaskar has been using the medium of watercolours for several years. The beaches of Konkan and the majestic Sahyadri ranges have continued to attract and inspire the artist to capture their beauty on canvas, especially during the monsoon.u00a0

Through his paintings, Bhaskar presents views of the ghats and the beaches of the north and south Konkan. Bhaskar used to do a mix of landscapes, but since his association with Art2Day he has started creating theme-based artworks.u00a0
