About Custom Portraits in Acrylic
When I paint your portrait, I use a grid system to map out exact proportions before adding any color, so you get an accurate likeness. You will receive regular updates throughout the painting process, from the initial sketch to the final protective varnish, so you are always in the loop.
Creating a hyper-realistic portrait is a labor-intensive process, often taking between 80 to 100 hours of layering to capture the nuance of skin texture, eye glints, and hair details. I work primarily on stretched cotton canvas or 300 GSM watercolor paper, utilizing high-quality acrylics to build depth and tone.
My process begins with a consultation to analyze your reference photo. We will discuss lighting and composition before I start. Once the concept is clear, I create the initial sketch using a grid system, which I share with you to ensure the proportions are perfect before I commit to paint.
Every finished portrait receives a professional varnish coat. This final step is crucial, as it seals the paint and protects the artwork from UV damage and dust, ensuring your piece remains vibrant for years.
I handle commissions for family portraits, pet portraits, and tributes. While I am based in Mumbai, I ship securely across India, ensuring every piece is bubble-wrapped with corner protectors so it arrives in gallery-ready condition.
