Sandeep Yadav's watercolour artworks speak for themselves. Yadav inherited this art from his mother. "Since childhood, I have enjoyed painting and used to paint small creatures and natural surroundings," says Yadav.

He shares a deep connect with mother nature and his paintings reflect it in their themes and simplicity. Yadav has been painting for over a decade now.
Talking about his upcoming exhibition, he shares, "I have focussed on landscapes for this particular exhibition. I have covered the scenic beauty of the Konkan area and the temples in and around Pune. Most of the paintings have been created on location, while for the larger canvases, I clicked pictures on location, so that I could work on it at my studio back home."
Yadav prefers to do a thorough research before he uses any medium or material for a particular painting. "All the paintings which will be on display are either in acrylic, water or oil colour," he informs. The largest painting on display will be a huge 30 inches by 24 inches painting.
Yadav has given live demonstrations of painting 25 watercolour landscapes in seven hours. "If you put your heart into your art, only then can you grow as an artist," he concludes.
