Hand-Painted Portraits of Children
I capture the playful spirit and innocence of childhood in every stroke. Let me turn your favourite family photos into a meaningful keepsake that freezes a moment in time.

This video shows my painting process for a child's portrait. From the initial sketch to the final details on her hair and face, you can see how I build layers of colour to create a soft, realistic look.
About Portraits of Children
Before I pick up the brush for your child's portrait, I always share a rough digital sketch for your approval. This step allows you to see the composition and confirm the expression is exactly how you imagined it. Once you give the green signal, I move to the final painting, ensuring the vibrant colours and details match the happy memory you want to preserve.
Capturing Childhood Moments
A child’s expression changes so quickly, and I love the challenge of capturing those fleeting moments on canvas. Whether it is a candid laugh, a milestone birthday, or a quiet, thoughtful look, my goal is to create a portrait that feels alive.
How Your Portrait Comes to Life
- Reference Selection: You share your favourite photos. If you have a specific scene in mind or want to combine elements, I can help you visualise it.
- The Sketch: I create a rough sketch to ensure the layout is perfect. This is the stage where we make adjustments.
- Painting in Acrylics: I use professional-grade acrylic paints on stretched cotton canvas. These are durable, vibrant, and sealed with a gloss varnish to protect against dust and yellowing.
Why Choose an Acrylic Portrait?
Acrylics are fantastic for children’s portraits because they hold bright, saturated colours beautifully. They provide a polished, high-contrast look that works well for framing in nurseries, living rooms, or as a thoughtful gift for grandparents. Because I focus on high-detail rendering, I make sure textures like clothing and hair look soft and realistic.
Delivery and Care
I treat every piece as a delicate memory. Your canvas is carefully bubble-wrapped and shipped to ensure it arrives safe at your doorstep. If you are based in the Mumbai Metropolitan area or beyond, I make sure the shipping process is secure so the only thing you have to worry about is finding the perfect spot on your wall to hang it.
