Architectural Stories & Urban Sketches
Capturing the soul of cities. Jigisha’s urban sketches freeze streets, historical cafes, and heritage structures in expressive ink and loose watercolor washes.
Sketching the Soul of Cities
Urban sketching is about freezing a moment in time on paper. Working on location (Plein Air) or from architectural inspirations, Jigisha captures heritage buildings, busy streets, and local cafes. Her signature style combines sharp, structural ink lines with quick, transparent watercolor washes. These sketches do not just replicate facades; they document the light, shadows, and mood of the environment, making them perfect souvenirs and corporate gifts.
