This gallery features my work in oil paints, abstract acrylic pouring, and pen sketching—showcasing the different textures and moods I explore when I’m not working on portraits. ## Photos and videos - ![A realistic pink rose painted with oils on A5 paper.

For oil portraits specifically, I work in thin layers to capture that depth, so I recommend planning at least two weeks ahead to ensure the paint is perfectly cured before I can ship it to you safely. Art is a continuous journey of learning, and I find that jumping between mediums keeps my creative gears turning. While acrylics are my go-to for their fast-drying properties and vibrancy, stepping into oil painting—like with the rose and cashew apple pieces you see here—forces me to slow down. Oil allows for a type of smooth blending that is incredibly difficult to replicate with other paints, making it perfect for soft textures and still-life studies. Then there is the abstract side of things. Acrylic pouring is messy, unpredictable, and entirely liberating. Unlike a portrait where I am hyper-focused on every pore and hair strand, pouring is about letting the paint decide where it wants to go. It is a fantastic way to add a unique, one-of-a-kind pop of color to a space. My pen and ink experiments, like the dahlia drawing, rely on a completely different set of skills: patience and precision with negative space. Whether it is a deep-blue ballpoint sketch or a detailed fine-liner piece, I treat every surface, whether it is canvas or Brustro paper, as a new challenge. If you are looking for something specific, or if you have an idea that doesn’t fit into a standard portrait commission, let’s chat. I am always open to mixing things up to create something that matches your aesthetic. ## About Neha Jadhav Hi, I’m Neha. I’m always dodging my comfort zone to try something new, whether it’s a goofy self-portrait in oils or a messy acrylic pour on a weekend afternoon.
