I don't just sketch; I try to catch the feeling of a moment—whether it's a portrait of a loved one or a painting of a place you can't stop thinking about.

This was a moment of clarity for me. I decided to take a leap and start painting portraits live. This is a gouache portrait I did, and while it's not perfect, I'm proud of the progress. I love capturing people's essence in my art.

Practice makes perfect, right? Here I am working on my watercolor portrait skills. Capturing a likeness is a challenge I enjoy, and each painting teaches me something new about blending colors and capturing emotion.

A quick look at a watercolor portrait I'm working on. I use high-quality Mijello Mission Gold paints and Escoda brushes to get these rich, transparent layers. If you're interested in a custom portrait, this is the style I love to work in.

I painted this portrait of the late Sushant Singh Rajput as a tribute. His work was so inspiring, and art is my way of remembering the light he brought to the screen. Portraits can be a powerful way to honor someone.

For the first time, I got to be a muse for another artist's painting. It was a fascinating experience to be on the other side of the canvas. This beautiful oil portrait with sunflowers was the result.

I couldn't leave Auroville without painting this cutie, Maxi. While others took photos, I took out my sketchbook to capture his sweet face. I love creating these spontaneous pet portraits that freeze a moment of connection.

This is an acrylic painting I was commissioned to do of a beautiful husky named Kyra. Pet portraits are one of my favorite commissions, as I get to capture the personality of these amazing animals.

About Custom Art Commissions

When you reach out, we start by talking about the reference—a photo or a specific memory—and what feeling you want the piece to hold. I'm comfortable with watercolor, gouache, acrylic, or digital, so we'll pick the medium that best fits the vibe of your story before I even pick up a brush.
