Custom Automotive Art: Hand-Painted Car Portraits

I usually work on these over 2-3 weeks, so just a heads up if you need it for a gift or a specific date. I stick to high-quality acrylics or oils depending on the detail, and for the miniature portraits specifically, I spend most of my time getting the headlights and city reflections just right.

When you commission a car portrait, we start by chatting about what the car means to you. Is it the car you learned to drive in, or a supercar you hope to own someday?

My process is simple and transparent. Once we decide on the size, I start with pencil sketches to lock in the composition and perspective. For smaller 6x6 or 10x12 inch canvases, I focus on hyper-realistic details like the grille, rims, and light reflections. For larger statements up to 5 feet, I use modeling paste for texture and depth.

Here is how the tiers work:

• Miniature Commissions (₹8500–₹15000): Perfect for desks or shelves. These are detailed, focused pieces on small canvases.
• Classic Portrait Commissions (₹18000–₹32000): Better for wall art, covering 1-2 subjects on medium-grain canvas.

I include 1-2 progress updates so you can see the likeness take shape. Once finished, I apply a professional-grade varnish to keep the colors vibrant and protected from UV light. For large pieces, I ship them rolled in a tube to keep them safe and cost-effective, which means you will just need to get them stretched at a local framer. If you are in Mumbai, we can sometimes arrange for local delivery of stretched canvases.
