Behind the Canvas: My Painting Process
Every painting starts as an idea. Here is how I transform a blank canvas into a finished piece, from the first sketch to the final details.

About Behind the Canvas: My Process
When you commission a custom piece, we start with a collaborative sketch approval phase. You get a clear view of the composition before I add any color, ensuring the final artwork aligns perfectly with your vision for the space.
I believe in keeping the creative journey transparent. Whether you are looking for a 4x4 feet acrylic piece for your living room or a detailed traditional Kerala Mural, the process follows a structured path.
We start with a virtual consultation to discuss your specific requirements, such as the subject, color palette, and the dimensions of your wall. For large-scale commissions, I provide weekly photo updates so you can see the layers building up in real-time. I work with professional-grade acrylics and oils, often using a palette knife to add rich, physical textures to the canvas.
If you choose a traditional Indian style like Pichwai or Madhubani, I ensure authentic, intricate detailing, which requires a 3 to 6-week execution timeline. Once the painting is ready, I pack it securely in a rigid PVC tube or crate for safe shipping across India. You do not need to worry about the logistics, so your focus can stay entirely on the art.
