About

Why I Paint Miniatures

Tiny canvases speak to me. I pour my heart into each piece, trying to capture those small, fleeting moments that make life, well, life. Sometimes it's a memory from a solo trip, sometimes just a feeling that sticks around. My art isn’t about chasing perfection - it’s about the story and the mood.

What I Love to Paint

  • Travel scenes with a twist: Think pahad (mountains), lakes, sunsets, or maybe that cute homestay where you drank chai (tea) by the window. If you’ve got a travel memory, I’d love to turn it into a hand-painted travel memory keepsake.
  • Furry buddies: I’m a sucker for animal portrait miniature painting. I once painted a Red Panda from Darjeeling and honestly, it made my week.
  • Festive feels: Whether it’s a snowy winter night or a field of spring flowers, I can paint the vibe you want to hold onto.

How I Work

I use oil paints on mini canvases - usually around 3x3 or 3x4 inches. I play around with brushes and palette knives to add texture. Honestly, I just go with the flow. Sometimes, the “mistakes” end up being my favourite part. Bob Ross was right about those happy little accidents.

Why Go Mini?

They’re small but packed with detail. Perfect as a unique small oil painting gift, a souvenir, or just a cute piece for your desk or shelf. I hope you find a little bit of yourself in my work.

My Story

Hey, I'm Ashima and this is Life in Strokes. Honestly, this all started as my art diary, just me scribbling moments that made me smile. I used to run from drawing people, but after a few online classes and some trial-and-error (almost tossed my iPad once!), I found my groove. My travels pop up in my sketches—Naukuchiatal lakes, Vietnam streets, my pup Joey’s goofy face. Every piece is a little memory, cozy and real, like a warm hug at the end of a long day.

My Work

Custom Art Commissions - I create digital pet portraits, travel-inspired art, landscape paintings, character sketches, and personal gifts.

Art with a Story - My style is loose, sketchy, sometimes focused on forest greens or sunset colors, mostly done on iPad or mini canvas.

Inspired by Life’s Moments - A cozy cafe, a street in Mumbai, or my beagle Joey—my art is full of memories I want to keep.

Embracing Happy Little Accidents - Not every piece is perfect. Sometimes a mistake turns into my favorite part—just enjoying the process.
