I use watercolors and mixed media to bring a soft, fluid energy to your memories. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A client from Mumbai wanted a special watercolor painting for her son's naming ceremony.

My mixed media process usually starts with fluid watercolors to set the mood, and I layer in soft pastels to sharpen the details where it matters. It is a bit of a process, but it allows me to fix tricky lighting or messy backgrounds that a simple sketch might miss. ### Why Watercolor and Mixed Media? Watercolor has a fluid, unpredictable quality that captures life in a way a crisp, digital print just can’t. My work here isn't just about painting faces; it’s about that soft, expressive look that feels warm on a wall. By combining watercolor with soft pastels, I get the best of both worlds: the dreamy background wash of paint and the sharp, defined texture of pastels for eyes, hair, and clothing. ### The Process 1. **The Brief:** Send me your photo. If it is blurry, or has a distracting background, don't worry. I am used to working with whatever raw material we have. 2. **The Layering:** I start with watercolor washes. These build the color palette and the atmosphere of the piece. 3. **The Detail:** Once the base is dry, I go in with soft pastels. This defines the features and gives the portrait a physical depth that pure watercolor sometimes lacks. ### My Philosophy I am not a machine, and I don't aim for cold, photorealistic perfection. My goal is to capture the truth—the mood of the person, that specific sparkle in their eye, or the way they smile. If you are looking for someone to help frame a memory, this is the style for you. I ship these artworks safely rolled in PVC tubes across India, so you just need to get them framed locally. Whether it is a naming ceremony portrait or a thoughtful gift, let's talk about what makes sense for your space. ## About Parvesh Goswami I’m Parvesh. For me, these brushes are my therapy and this canvas is where I put my truth. I stopped chasing perfection years ago and started focusing on real emotions, so if you want art that actually feels like you, we will get along just fine.
