The final Jharokha painting, full of vibrant reds, greens, and yellows. The intricate details and traditional patterns make this a stunning piece of decor that celebrates Indian architectural beauty.
This video shows the step-by-step process of creating the Jharokha painting. From the initial pencil sketch to layering colors and adding fine details with a 3D outliner, you can see how the piece comes together.
This is the painting in its early stages. I've blocked in the main colors for the background and the arch, setting the foundation before adding all the intricate patterns and details.
About this collection
You might think painting detailed architectural elements like Jharokhas is difficult, but it is really just about breaking the design down into simple geometric shapes. I guide you through every step, starting from the pencil sketch to the final detailing, so you can build your confidence before even touching the brushes.
We dive into the history of these designs, looking at the archways and floral patterns that define classic Indian aesthetics. It is not just about copying an image; it is about understanding how to layer your acrylic paints to get that rich, vibrant finish. For many beginners, the fear of messing up the fine lines is the biggest hurdle. That is why we use 3D outliners and specific brush techniques to make the process forgiving. Whether you join me at the Harlur studio or one of our cafe pop-ups in Bengaluru, you leave with a finished canvas and a new way of looking at traditional art. If you are worried about your skill level, please don't be. Mistakes are just part of the process, and we fix them together as we go.
