About Live Art & Workshops
I believe art is more than something you hang on the wall. For me, it's about catching that feeling in the moment, sharing sukoon (peace) with others, and enjoying the process as much as the result.
Art in Action: What I Do
- Love taking art outside - you’ll find me in busy markets, by old temples, or near a riverbank with my sketchbook in hand.
- My outdoor sketching sessions (I call them 'Sketchmeets') are all about chilling, painting, and soaking in the vibe with fellow art lovers.
- Watercolor is my jam for these sessions - we start with a pencil sketch, then bring a scene to life with colors.
- If you want to tag along, just say
chalna he sath me(want to come along?) - beginners totally welcome.
Live Portraits
- There's a certain magic in expressive portrait drawing done live. I use charcoal, focusing on capturing your essence, not just a face.
- It's quick, honest, and fun -
Maja ata he live Potrait banane m(I really enjoy making live portraits).
Learn With Me
- I run hands-on art workshops for all levels - whether you’re starting or want to level up your skills.
- I’ll walk you through basics or advanced stuff, whatever you need.
- Got a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a few awards, but most of all, I just want you to enjoy creating.
Let’s make art together, the real way.

My Story
Hello doston! Main Faizan, Banaras ka artist. Banaras sirf jagah nahi, ek vibe hai yaar. Art college se leke ab tak bas art hi art, sukoon isi mein. Ek painting banayi thi, 'Kun Faya Kun', namaz ke waqt jo energy milti hai na, wahi capture karna tha. Kabhi-kabhi competitions mein kaam select hota hai, toh lagta hai, haan, mehnat rang laayi. Bas, art ka safar hai, chalte rehna hai, maja hi maja!
My Work
Services I Offer - Oil paintings, watercolour couple illustration, charcoal portraits, washable acrylic wall mural, live sketch event artist, and custom commissions.
How I Work - Koi bhi project ho, pehle sketch, phir shading, details. Murals mein washable acrylics use karta hoon - tikau aur bright!
My Style - Old logon ke chehre, unki kahani, ya phir rangon ke saath khelna - emotions pakadna mera fav hai.
Live Art - Live portrait banana, sketchmeet pe jaana, wah mazaa hi kuch aur hai. Moment ko paper pe zinda karna!
