About this collection
I treat these smaller pieces as my personal creative playground. Whether it is experimenting with the texture of Staedtler color pencils on a realistic croissant sketch or capturing the exact mood of a rainy afternoon in Bengaluru, every piece here is a reflection of what I am currently feeling or learning.
These pieces represent my creative flow when I am not working on client commissions. They range from quick food studies, like my realistic blueberry and croissant drawings, to serene landscapes like my 10x10 inch seascapes. I use these projects to test new mediums and techniques, which eventually influences the quality and depth I bring to your commissioned work.
My process for these involves:
- Food and Still Life: I love finding beauty in the everyday. These pencil sketches focus on layering and texture to make simple objects look vibrant and appetizing without the calories.
- Landscape Studies: From sunset reflections to the gray, cozy skies of a Bengaluru rainstorm, I aim to capture the atmosphere rather than just the scenery.
- Tools and Mediums: You will see a lot of variety here, from heavy-body acrylics that build texture on gallery-wrapped canvas to the precise, fine-line work possible with high-quality color pencils.
All these explorations are available for purchase if you find one that speaks to you. If you have an idea for a unique, smaller-scale artwork or a specific concept you want to see realized, feel free to reach out. I love collaborating on projects that are a bit off the beaten path.
