I spend as much time learning in workshops and displaying my work as I do painting in my studio. Here is a look at the techniques I study, the communities I paint with, and the exhibitions where my work finds a home. ## Photos and videos - ![Attending a two-day portrait workshop with the wonderful Pramod Kurlekar.

This commitment to ongoing learning informs every commission I undertake, from the way I prepare my 300 GSM watercolor paper to how I layer oils. When you see my work, you are seeing the result of years spent refining these technical skills through study and shared practice. ### Why I Never Stop Learning Painting is not a solitary confinement, even if I spend hours alone in my studio. Attending workshops with masters like David Taylor or Joe Dowden keeps my perspective fresh. It forces me out of my cityscape comfort zone and helps me master new textures and color theories. I bring this same discipline to your commissions. When I work on your portrait or landscape, I am not just painting a picture. I am applying the same technical rigor I learned from those intense, multi-day sessions. ### Exhibitions and My Artistic Journey Seeing my work displayed at places like the Russian Centre in New Delhi or the Fabriano In Acquarello festival in Italy is more than just a credential. It is a validation of the stories I try to tell. My Varanasi series, for instance, was a deeply personal healing process, and exhibiting those pieces allowed me to share that peace with others. ### How This Benefits You When you hire me for a custom piece, you get an artist who is actively engaged with the craft. I do not just paint from a photo and call it a day. I consider the light, the medium (whether it is Gamblin oils or Daniel Smith watercolors), and the emotional weight of the subject. Whether it is an alla prima portrait or a complex architectural study, my process is built on years of exhibition-grade quality and community-tested techniques. ## About Juhi Kumar I am Juhi, a Delhi-based artist who believes painting is best when shared. My studio is my sanctuary, but the true growth happens when I am out sketching with my urban community or exhibiting at galleries. I paint to capture stories, and I would love to help you tell yours.
