Each painting I make is detailed, and honestly, I pour a lot of myself into it - sometimes I worry, kya pata pasand aaye ya nahi (who knows if they’ll like it or not), but hearing how people wait months just for a slot keeps me going. ### How It Works - I mostly paint with acrylics on canvas, but I also use wooden slices and other surfaces. - You can get a solo portrait, family painting, couple portrait (these are my fave), sibling or BFF art, or custom pet portrait art. - If you want everyone together in one painting but don’t have a single photo, I can merge different images for you. - I keep my orders limited because each one takes serious time and lots of heart - so slots fill up quickly. - Give me 15 to 20 days minimum. It is handmade, so sometimes it takes longer than even I expect. Need it faster? Tell me, there is a small urgency charge. ### Make It Yours - Let’s customise the background: dreamy landscapes, Starry Night feels, Ghibli vibes, doodles from your own story, or a music or pop culture theme you’re obsessed with. - Names, dates, quotes - I can add these too if you want. ### The Gift Vibe A personalised canvas gift is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, Rakhi, or just to say “tu mera thangakudam” (you’re my treasure). Every painting comes gift-wrapped, and if you want, I’ll throw in a handwritten note or some polaroids. Sometimes people ask for chocolates - I’m totally fine with that too. ### My Process Prep, sketch, layer paint, and finish with varnish. Each portrait gets my signature on the back and a bit of my heart, honestly. ## Highlights Browse through Rattan's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/the.purple.splash/custom-portrait-paintings-taking-limited-orders/featured) - [Video: This one has my whole heart.

I’m that overthinker, self-taught artist in Bangalore who’s still figuring out the imposter syndrome thing. If you’re a creative soul with a messy heart, you get me. Every painting I do is a little piece of me, not just a job. I live for that moment when someone finally gets their art after months of waiting and just lights up. Also, hardcore Swiftie, if that tells you anything. Art’s for everyone, trust me. ### My work - **What I do**: Custom portraits (people, pets), Sip & Paint Bangalore events, themed art parties, mindful art workshops, and acrylic/watercolour classes. - **Custom Portraits**: I turn your memories into art—weddings, pets, anything—mostly with acrylics on any canvas shape you like. - **Workshops & Parties**: Beginner-friendly art classes and parties, lots of silly warm-ups, no pressure, just painting for fun. - **How it works**: For commissions, there’s usually a waitlist. We’ll chat, tweak things, and I’ll pour my heart into every layer. ## More services from Rattan - [Painting Parties & Workshops](https://mytribe.in/the.purple.splash/painting-parties-workshops) · ₹900-2,000 per person (estimate) - [Painting Classes & Tutoring](https://mytribe.in/the.purple.splash/painting-classes-tutoring) · ₹500-2,000 per person per session (estimate) ## Book To book Rattan, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Custom%20Portrait%20Paintings%20(Taking%20Limited%20Orders)%20by%20Rattan.)
