Behind the Easel: My Painting Process and Studio Life

Before we start, I want you to know that the process is a collaboration. Whether it is a graphite sketch or a custom acrylic canvas, I share work-in-progress photos mid-way through. This way, we can tweak details, adjust angles, or add personal touches—like a specific jersey on your child or a meaningful background—to make sure the final piece feels exactly like your vision.

My studio, or what I like to call my art corner, is where the magic happens. It is usually a mix of fresh paint, good coffee, and a lot of focus. I believe that painting is not just about the final image; it is about the emotion behind it. When I sit down to work, I am looking to capture the real bond, the laughter, or the quiet strength in your reference photos.

How I Work

I work with a variety of mediums depending on the feel you want. For a classic, timeless look, I use Staedtler graphite and charcoal pencils on heavy-weight cartridge paper. These are perfect for detailed family, pet, or memorial portraits where you want to focus on light and shadow. If you prefer something vibrant, I use heavy-body acrylic paints on gallery-wrapped canvas. This is my go-to for spiritual pieces or colorful portraits.

The Customisation

You are never limited by the original photograph. If you have an idea—like bringing a loved one into a family portrait who isn't physically there, or placing your baby in an RCB jersey—we can make it happen. I handle the reconstruction and lighting adjustments to ensure the final composition looks natural.

Delivery and Care

I ship across India, from Bengaluru to Shivamogga and beyond. Every piece is handled with care, from the professional fixative sprays on sketches to the museum-grade varnish on canvases. My goal is to create art that lasts as long as the memory it represents. If you have a story you want to see on canvas, let’s talk about it.
