It is not just a pattern, it is a sketch. I use triple-sifted organic powder to get those fine lines, so you do not have to worry about the design looking messy. You can actually see the difference in the shading when I do the varmala or doli scenes on your palms. ### How I Create Your Story Portrait mehandi is different from regular bridal designs. It needs focus and a very steady hand. I start by mapping out the space on your palm and forearm. Whether you want the baraat procession, the doli, or a classic varmala ceremony, I sketch it out first to make sure the proportions are right. For these designs, I use a specific mix of premium organic henna that is super fine. This allows me to do the shading work that makes the bride and groom faces look realistic. If you have a specific scene from your wedding invite or a photo you love, just show me—I will copy it for you. ### My Process 1. **The Sketch:** We decide the scene and where it fits best on your hands. 2. **The Paste:** I apply my 100% organic, chemical-free henna. 3. **The Stain:** My henna is known for the dark, deep stain. I apply a lemon-sugar sealant once the design is set to make sure it locks in the colour. ### Frequently Asked Questions **Can you draw anything?** Almost, yes. I have drawn portraits, family members, and even specific wedding venue skylines. If you can show me a reference photo, I can draw it. **Does it take longer than regular mehandi?** Yes, portraits and figure art take more time because of the detailing. Expect to sit for 5 to 6 hours for my Signature Portrait Henna. **Will the portrait be clear?** That is the goal. I specialize in facial clarity. My team and I are trained to keep lines clean so the faces do not get blurry when the colour develops. ## About Ashish Mehandi Mera naam Ashish hai, and I have been doing mehandi for over 15 years.
