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. ## Highlights Browse through Mohammad Faizan's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/fxz.01/live-art-workshops/featured) - [Video: This is where I find my sukoon.
