This foundation makes all the difference when you are painting live subjects or portraits from photos, as it lets you focus on form and volume without worrying about complex color mixing right away. Portraiture is often seen as intimidating, but it is fundamentally about observation. In my workshops here in Noida, we break down facial anatomy into simple shapes. We start with quick sketches to get comfortable with proportions, and move on to understanding how light shapes the face. I guide you through the grisaille method, which is a game changer for beginners. By painting in monochrome first, you learn to control values and depth. Once that feels solid, we transition to layering oils or acrylics. Whether you want to capture a loved one's likeness or simply learn how to see the human form differently, my studio sessions provide the guidance you need. I keep batches very small, often just 3 to 6 people, so I can give you personal feedback. If you cannot join me in Noida, I offer online sessions where we can work through these techniques together from the comfort of your home. It is not about reaching perfection, but about the joy of seeing your subject come to life on canvas. We go step by step, focusing on the techniques that make your work feel authentic to your own style. ## About Anjali Mittal I am Anjali, and for me, art has been a lifelong companion.
