About Your Memories on Canvas
When you commission a piece, we start with your reference photo and chat about the vibe you are after, whether that is classic realism or something more abstract. I spend about 10 to 14 days on acrylic canvases to ensure every detail captures the emotion of the original memory.
Turning Photos into Art
Every painting I do starts with a conversation. When you send me a photo, I look for the story behind it. Whether it is a faded family photograph you want restored in charcoal, or a vibrant couple portrait you want on canvas, my goal is to make it feel real.
My Process
- Consultation: We discuss the style. Do you want hyper-realistic shading, or are you looking for a bold, pop-art style with bright acrylics?
- Material Choice: For sketches, I use 180 GSM acid-free paper to ensure the piece lasts. For canvas work, I use professional-grade acrylics on stretched cotton canvas, sealing it with a varnish to protect it from dust and time.
- Completion: Sketches take about 4 to 7 days, while acrylic paintings usually take 10 to 14 days depending on complexity.
Why Hand-Painted?
Unlike digital prints, hand-painted art has texture and life. When I paint your memories, I am not just copying a photo; I am using brushstrokes to highlight the emotion you felt in that moment.
Shipping and Delivery
I ship across India. If you are ordering a canvas, it comes ready to hang with gallery-wrapped edges. Sketches are protected and shipped in secure tubes to make sure they reach you in perfect condition. If you have an old, blurry photo you are worried about, send it over anyway—I love the challenge of restoring those details and bringing them back to life.
Megha
I quit the 9-to-5 to paint full-time because, honestly, nothing beats the thrill of bringing a memory to life on a canvas. Whether it is a sketch of an old family photograph or a vibrant acrylic portrait, I put my heart into every stroke to make sure it feels real.
