Around it are studio glimpses and sketches, including small ear studies. I call this my tiny art corner. You can see the happiness of finishing one artwork and starting another, along with paintings and sketches in progress. My work includes pencil portraits, acrylic paintings and colour-pencil studies. I’ve also changed clothing in commissions, including a baby painted in an RCB jersey. The finished mini-painting canvas grew from suggestions and memories shared by followers. ## About Sumana M I’m Sumana. Some days I’m the messy girl behind the canvas. This is the corner where I paint, sketch and try things out.
