I take the time to understand the subject’s expression, and we discuss whether you prefer oil paints for a smooth, classic finish or acrylics for something more vibrant. I keep you looped in as I build the painting layer by layer, because a portrait should feel as real as the memory it represents. ### My Approach to Portraits I view every portrait as a collaboration. When you send me a high-resolution reference photo, I start with a detailed sketch to get the likeness right before a single drop of paint touches the canvas. ### Choosing Your Medium For portraits, I work primarily with two mediums: * **Oil Paints:** Ideal for smooth skin tones and subtle blending. This gives the portrait a soft, lifelike depth that really brings eyes and expressions to life. * **Acrylics:** A great choice if you prefer bolder colors and a slightly faster drying process. These are excellent for vibrant subjects or contemporary stylings. ### Sacred Art Beyond family portraits, I frequently paint spiritual figures like Jesus, Buddha, or other deities. These are handled with the same care as any portrait, often serving as a focal point for prayer or meditation spaces in your home. I use archival-quality varnish on all finished pieces, which protects the colors from yellowing or moisture over the years. ### A Note on Lead Time Because I hand-paint every detail, these pieces take time. Please reach out with your reference photo well in advance of any special occasion or gift deadline so I can ensure the work receives the attention it deserves. ## About Vipin Iritty Hi kootukare (friends), I’m Vipin.
