Custom Gouache & Sketchbook Artworks
I use my sketchbook to explore new ideas and capture fleeting moments of inspiration. Each piece is painted with gouache, giving it a rich, matte, and opaque finish.
I took on a challenge to paint a landscape using only left and right strokes with acrylic markers. It was a fun way to break out of an art block and trust the process.
The beauty of simple landscapes. This video shows me painting a calm lake with reflections of the trees, using gouache on watercolor paper.
A plein air painting session at Ulsoor Lake in Bangalore. I used watercolor and mop brushes to capture the scene in my sketchbook, a wonderful experience of painting outdoors.
Three paintings that make me go, "I did that." This video showcases a few of my favorite pieces, including a gouache painting of a boat on a river.
Living the artist's dream on a sandy canvas. This photo captures a magical moment of me painting a seascape with watercolors, live on the beach in Goa.
About Gouache & Sketchbook Art
Unlike my larger canvas work, these pieces are created on 300 GSM cotton paper, which makes them perfect for desk displays or intimate wall groupings. I choose gouache for this series specifically for its signature matte, opaque finish, which gives every scene a dreamy, storybook quality that acrylics on canvas sometimes miss.
Because these are done on professional 300 GSM cotton paper (I prefer Arches or Baohong for the texture retention), they act as beautiful, tactile keepsakes.
Why I love gouache for these
Gouache is incredibly versatile. It dries matte, so you get that lovely, flat aesthetic that looks like a printed illustration but has the soul of a hand-painted original. It is the perfect medium for these smaller landscape studies and fantasy scenes I love to paint.
A note on caring for your art
Since these are paper-based illustrations, they require a bit of care. Unlike my varnished canvases, these gouache pieces need to be framed behind glass to protect them from dust and moisture. They are delivered unframed, which gives you the freedom to pick a frame that matches your room's vibe.
How we can collaborate
If you have a memory you want to freeze—maybe a specific sunset you saw or a quiet corner of your dream home—let’s talk. I can work from your photos or just a feeling you want to capture. During the process, I send 2-3 work-in-progress photos so you can see your piece coming to life, ensuring it matches exactly what you envisioned.
