World Of WaterColour

I’m Pragathi – a watercolour artist, wife, mom, and forever coffee-and-sweets lover.

By profession I’m an engineer, but watercolour has become my true obsession. I started painting more regularly in January 2020, and my favourite time to paint is in the quiet early hours of the day, between 5–7am, when the whole world is still asleep.

Over a decade ago I spent around three years attending weekend classes under a wonderful artist. Those one-hour sessions taught me many techniques and little tricks. I explored oil painting for a while, but it always took too long to dry and my curiosity would jump to a new subject long before I could finish.

For a long time, work and family kept me from painting consistently. Then my dream home gave me a new reason to begin again. I imagined my own paintings on the walls, and when the lockdown arrived, I finally picked up my brushes and never stopped.

I’m drawn to loose, expressive, and free brushstrokes rather than tight, detailed painting. I love letting the water move and create its own magic on the paper.

I’ve learned from various free online lessons and also taken paid classes from Jean Haines. Some of the artists I deeply admire are Yuko Nagayama, Jean Haines, Schuwaller, and many more. I’m always working to refine my techniques and create art that makes me truly proud.

All the artworks on this website are available for sale.

For details, please feel free to DM me on my social media or email me.

Thank you for visiting my world of watercolour.

Love and hope,
Pragathi
