I share an initial pencil sketch for your approval before I begin the actual painting process, and I include one round of minor touch-ups for lighting or details so the final result feels exactly like the vision you had in mind. ### From Photo to Canvas Turning a digital photograph into a physical painting requires more than just technical skill; it needs patience. I specialize in semi-realistic acrylic rendering, where the goal is to capture the mood, the bond, and the energy of the subject rather than aiming for clinical hyper-realism. ### The Process * **Consultation:** We discuss the reference photo, your preferred color palette, and the overall composition. * **Sketching:** Before any paint touches the canvas, I provide a pencil sketch. This ensures we are on the same page regarding the layout. * **Painting:** I work with medium-grain, double-primed cotton canvas using high-quality acrylics. Depending on the complexity, this stage takes 3 to 5 days. * **Finishing:** Every piece is coated with a high-gloss artist varnish to protect against UV damage and dust, ensuring your memory stays vibrant for years. ### Specifications & Shipping I work on sizes ranging from A3 (12x16 inches) to A1 (23x33 inches). If you are in a metro city, I typically deliver the canvas stretched on a wooden frame so it is ready to hang the moment it arrives. For outstation orders, I ship the canvas rolled in a heavy-duty PVC tube for safety, which will require local framing upon arrival. My practice is built on observational learning, whether I am painting a black-and-white portrait to emphasize emotional depth or a vibrant full-color piece to capture a sunny travel memory. If you have a moment you want to hold onto, I am here to help you paint it. ## About Aanchal Gupta I’m Aanchal, and I left my corporate job four years ago to paint full-time. For me, these portraits are about more than just a likeness; I love capturing the non-verbal connection between a person and their pet, or the joy of a family moment. Every canvas I work on is an act of focus, patience, and a bit of my own self-discovery.
