Mysore is a small city south of Bangalore.The most impressive building there is the Mysore Palace. A beautiful example of the mix of British and Indian architectural styles.
I used for this watercolor a new Stillman & Birn Hardbound Beta Sketchbook. It is 21.6 x 27.9) a little smaller than A4) Therefore quite easy to scan later. When I travel I like to sketchbooks in different format, sizes and paper quality, but since books are heavy I just take with me an (14 x 21. cm) Alpha and a (21.6 x 27,9 cm) Beta.
What I like about Mysore is the small scales of the buildings and the presence of many vintage signs on buildings. The tower you see in the back is the minaret of a mosque.

Lovely, Omar.
I am envious- When I was in Mysore, my sketchpad was not allowed and taken away for some reason..
Thanks Memi,
Where was not allowed? Inside the palace? I didn't took it inside the palace since cameras were not allowed. But in the gardens I didn't have any problem.
Beautiful exotic India.
Thanks Matthew!
Welcome back from India, Omar! Beautiful sketches. What a trip.
Nice travel results Omar. I'd love to sketch in India sometime.
Nice to see your sketches again :-) Astonishing as always.
