Behind the Scenes: My Art Journey & Projects
From client caricatures to experimental oil paintings, here is a look at the art that fills my studio and keeps me grounded.
The life of a client-based artist means changing your style to fit the project. This meme shows how I switch from being an oil painter to a sketch artist to a digital artist depending on what the client needs.
A quick recap of my work and life from 2023. It was a year filled with art, new experiences, and wonderful client projects.
A short compilation showing the variety of mediums I work with, including oil painting, watercolor, and charcoal drawing. Each style offers a different way to capture a person's story.
About Miscellaneous Work
Whether it is a digital illustration or a hand-painted canvas, I adapt my style to match exactly what you are feeling. I do not just paint, I translate the emotion in a photo into the medium that fits best. If you have ever wondered how I handle a blurry reference photo or switch between oil painting and charcoal sketches to get the mood right, this collection gives you a look at how I work.
How I Work: The Truth Behind the Art
Art is for everyone, and that is why I keep my process open and flexible. For 15 years, I have chased perfection, but today I focus on truth. Whether you are looking for a digital caricature for an e-invite or a serious oil portrait of a loved one, I use different techniques to bring out the specific vibe of your story.
My Mediums & Style
I believe in using the right tool for the emotion you want to capture:
- Oil Paintings: Best for timeless, classic portraits that need depth and texture. I use high-quality oils and pre-mix colors to ensure your piece is ready to last.
- Charcoal Sketches: When you want raw emotion, light, and shadow. These work incredibly well for monochrome, expressive portraits.
- Digital Illustrations: Perfect for modern wedding needs. I adapt these to your requested style—whether that is a Ghibli-inspired anime look or a clean, quirky caricature.
- Watercolor & Mixed Media: My go-to for a softer, dreamy feel that adds a bit of fluidity to your memories.
Can We Fix a Bad Photo?
People often ask if I can work with old or blurry photos. The answer is yes. That is where a bit of jugaad (creative hack) comes in. I can merge faces, fix backgrounds, and change outfits to make a beautiful, cohesive piece out of limited references. If you have a story but don't have the perfect shot, reach out. Let’s figure it out together. Chaliye, banate hain (Let's make it).
