I use the traditional gridding method to scale your reference image by hand onto the canvas or wall. This ensures the proportions are perfect while the oil-based enamel gives the portrait a depth and texture that digital prints simply cannot match. My work follows the classic style of painting that I have practiced for years in Old Delhi. When you commission a portrait, you get more than just a painting; you get the result of manual effort. ### The Process For portraits and detailed figures, I use a grid system to map out your reference image. Whether it is a hero from the past, a spiritual figure, or a loved one, I use artist-grade oil paints to ensure the colors stay vibrant. Because I paint by hand, you will see the texture of the brushstrokes if you look closely—this is the 'real' touch that makes my art different from a photo or a print. ### Durability and Care These murals and portraits are built to last. I use high-quality synthetic enamel which is weather-resistant and wipeable. For outdoor walls, this means the art stays strong against the Delhi climate. For indoor portraits or canvas work, the colors remain sharp for years without fading. ### What I Need From You To get the best result, clear reference photos are essential. Since I am scaling these by hand, the higher the quality of your photo, the better I can capture the expressions. If you have a specific mood in mind—like a vintage film poster style or a more realistic approach—let me know before I start the first sketch. Everything is hand-painted from start to finish, and I pour my energy into every stroke. ## About Kafeel Artist I am Kafeel, based in Bazar Matia Mahal, Old Delhi. I have dedicated my life to the brush, painting everything from vintage cinema posters to personal portraits for homes. My work is not about speed; it is about bringing a piece of hand-painted tradition to your space.
