But before the final stroke, there is a whole process of sketching, mapping, and finding the right vibe. Here is what goes on behind the scenes. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This reel is a look back at the creative journey. It shows the different sides of my work, from signing a finished piece and painting a large mural on scaffolding to detailed watercolor work in the studio.

Whether I am doing a mural or a portrait, I map everything out on the wall or paper first with a pencil. Nothing is random. I use washable, premium acrylics that hold their color for years, but the real effort goes into the initial sketch—that is where the story gets its shape before I ever touch a brush. ### The Sketching Phase The most important part of my work happens before the paint touches the surface. I start with freehand pencil mapping to make sure the proportions are right for your specific space. Whether it is a dense botanical mural or a traditional Pichwai motif, the structure has to be solid. I do not use stencils because they can make art look generic and stiff. My hands do the work. ### Materials and Durability For mural projects, I exclusively use high-grade, washable acrylic paints. After the painting is complete, I allow for a 48-hour curing process to ensure the paint sets properly. If we are doing a high-detail heritage piece, I switch to 000-size brushes for those tiny, hairline strokes that give it that miniature painting feel. For areas with high sunlight, I apply a protective varnish to prevent UV fading. ### Restoration and Collaboration Walls age, and art fades. I often work on restoring old murals, studying the original technique to bring back the depth. For large-scale office or hotel projects, I bring in my team of artists to ensure we stick to your timeline without cutting corners on the quality of the finish. It is not just about decorating a wall; it is about creating a piece of art that lasts. ## About Mohammad Faizan Main Faizan hoon, aur mere liye art sirf kaam nahi, sukoon hai. Jab main canvas ya wall pe kaam karta hoon, toh main poora wahan present hota hoon—sketching se leke final varnish tak. Bas art ka safar hai, chalo saath mein kuch naya banate hain.
