About
Why I Draw
Art keeps me grounded, happy, and honest. I pour my imagination into each piece, whether it’s a dreamy landscape or a portrait filled with feeling. Sometimes it’s tough, but I stick to it - mehnat ka phal meetha hota hai (hard work pays off).
The Mediums I Use
- Oil pastels are my jam. I love playing with thick colors using a palette knife, which gives my work a textured, almost 3D look. If you like oil pastel landscapes that you almost want to touch, that’s what I do best.
- I use my fingers for blending, especially when I want smooth, dreamy skies.
- Pencil, pen, and charcoal are for when I want to focus on the power of lines. My spiritual sketch art, like Nandi Maharaj or Hanuman ji, means a lot to me. I’m still learning with charcoal - not perfect yet, but improving.
What I Like to Paint
- Calm scenes with mountains, meadows, and flowers, like lavender and cherry blossoms.
- Whimsical moments - cats under a glowing moon, clouds, or peaceful trees.
- Detailed, spiritual portraits and sketches, especially of gods and mythological scenes.
My Process
Every artwork takes patience and effort - koi shortcut nahi hai (no shortcuts here). I build up layers, add texture, and keep experimenting. Each piece feels like a step forward, and I hope it brings you some joy too.
