I look for the specific light, the weather, and the little details like the texture of a building or how snow settles on a step. If you have a favourite travel spot or a childhood home that means the world to you, I can turn that memory into a painting that feels exactly the way you remember it. ### How I capture your special places I work primarily with watercolour, gouache, and ink. These mediums allow me to bring out the warmth of a sunny street in Mumbai or the cool, crisp silence of a snowy backyard in Boston. My process is deeply personal. When you commission a landscape or a travel sketch, we start by talking about the 'why' behind the place. Is it the light at golden hour? The specific architecture? The feeling of being there? ### My technical approach - **Materials:** I use 300 GSM Cold Press acid-free paper for physical commissions to ensure the longevity of the watercolour pigments. My ink work utilizes archival-grade pens for crisp, lasting lines. - **Styles:** I offer two distinct paths. We can go with a classic, expressive watercolour style that feels soft and atmospheric, or an urban sketcher aesthetic, which relies on defined ink outlines and bold, vibrant washes of colour. - **Digital vs. Physical:** If you need a high-resolution file for printing on wedding invitations or large-scale wall art, I provide 300 DPI raster illustrations. For something tangible, I ship original physical paintings with rigid backing. ### Can I sketch your home or favourite venue? Absolutely. Capturing the facade of a family home, a local cafe where you had your first date, or a landmark that defines your city is one of my favourite commissions. I love turning these into illustrations that hold emotional weight. Send me a few photos from different angles, and we can discuss the composition that tells the right story. ## About Divya Bhatia I am Divya, and for me, sketching is how I truly see a place. I take my sketchbook everywhere, from the busy streets of my home in Mumbai to quiet corners abroad, just to hold onto those little slices of happiness.
