Hi I’m Megha, an artist based out of Bangalore. I have been doodling and painting for as long as I can remember. Around three years back, I shifted to oil paints and absolutely fell in love with it. My work comprises painting a variety of subjects in a realistic style.

New post after ages! I've always wanted to paint a monochrome landscape so when I saw this gorgeous reference clicked by @the_tinted_palette, I couldn't resist!♥️

Black is a colour which my art teachers over the years have forbidden me to use. It's always recommended to mix your own black, but for this painting, I simply used black paint out of the tube and diluted it to get different shades of grey :)

Life update: I'm currently living out of my suitcase and can't wait to shift to my new home, unpack and start painting! It's a been a long break from insta and painting in general, but the last few months saw me preparing for interviews, getting a new job, finding a new flat, finding flatmates and finally shifting... Phew! I have a lot of new ideas in my mind and can't wait to execute them!
For those who stuck by and didn't unfollow🙈, thanks a lot for your patience!♥️

Remember few days back, I had created a poll for an unfinished oil painting? Well, this is the reference image for that painting. I thought I'll do a quick watercolour sketch before painting on canvas.
Painting it reminded me of why I loved the reference in the first place. The blue door, the bougainvillea, the post office sign and cycle, they all have so much character, I felt compelled to paint them. What do you think of it?

The Big Reveal🎨 Audrey Hepburn. I'm so thrilled to share my first portrait with you all! I've always been intimidated by portraits and this painting helped me overcome some of it :) .

Story time:
Although I finished the portrait a while back, I've been practicing sketches of Audrey from different angles on and off for the last 2 years just so that I could paint her someday😅 (Check stories). I've always wanted to paint portraits and depict humans in my landscapes but avoided it because I thought I couldn't. So, I kept practicing the same face over and over again, practiced painting human features and hardly showed these to anyone until I thought they were good enough.
Even while painting this portrait, there were so many times I wanted to give up because even if you shift facial features by few micrometers, it's a whole new person! But thankfully oil painting gives you the liberty to correct your mistakes and that's why I wouldn't change it for the world♥️

New painting! Well, I had finished this painting long back and realized that I forgot to post it! This is one of my favorite paintings so far, because it's very different from my usual realistic works and it pushed me out of my comfort zone.
All through the painting, I had this incredible urge to smooth out all the lines, make perfect clouds, but I resisted the temptation😅. I love the idea of achieving a convincing sense of reality with looser brush strokes, creating some movement on the canvas. Also, this is my first landscape where I've painted humans! I'll be painting more of them in my coming works :) Swipe to see the details of this painting🎨

Prints will be available on my website soon✨

I'm experimenting with looser brushstrokes with this one, trying to achieve a convincing sense of reality with fewer strokes.
Whether it's oil or watercolours, my underpaintings are almost always very messy :P (Swipe to see the underpainting) I like bringing out details only in the final stage and absolutely love comparing the before and after progress😆

I love the immediacy of watercolors. It leaves you with little room for errors. It's also very liberating to paint just for fun and not think about the end result! Planning to paint some more watercolor landscapes ✨
