Taking a faded, black and white photograph, the only proof of a precious memory, and giving it the color and life it deserves on canvas. It takes a lot of patience, but seeing an ancestor come back to life like this is an emotional journey I am honored to take with a family.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1e1e372d-162d-440c-94e5-d3dd4908428f) - ![A close-up of a finished 24" x 30" acrylic portrait.

Whether I am restoring a faded family photo or capturing a couple's smile on canvas, I pour my heart into every stroke. It takes a lot of patience to get the eyes and expressions just right, but that is how we turn a simple picture into a keepsake that stays with you forever. When you commission a piece, you are not just getting a painting. You are getting a piece of someone's history. ### Restoring Old Memories Many of you send me old, faded black and white photos of your grandparents. I love the challenge of colorizing them. It is an emotional process, especially when merging multiple images into one group portrait. Giving history a new life is why I do what I do. ### My Process Every piece starts with a detailed pencil sketch, even for paintings. For acrylics, I build layers to capture the depth of skin tones and the shimmer of jewelry. For graphite, I focus on light and shadow to create that timeless, realistic look. I always share work-in-progress photos so you are part of the journey. ### Ordering and Materials I use gallery-wrapped canvas for my acrylic work and premium acid-free paper for my sketches. I ship across India and even abroad. If you have an anniversary or birthday coming up, just let me know early so I can dedicate the right amount of time to your piece. ## About Ishika Vishwakarma Hi buddies!
