Delhi Reveriedepicts a young Indian man reclining in the gardens at Humayun's Tomb in Delhi. The location was completed in 1570 as the resting place of the Emperor Humayun, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Detail
The subject is named Naman, and he's a friend from Instagram, where he shares beautiful photos from around his home in Delhi. He had a series of photos taken in this setting, and the results were posted on his Instagram feed. I reached out to him with the request of using his images as inspiration for a painting. Thankfully, Naman is an art lover, and was delighted at the prospect.
This is the rare occasion when I had no access to painting the model from life, nor could I even photograph and pose them myself. However, the scene Naman captured had such painting potential that I couldn't resist giving it a shot.
