Hobby: Painting

Why do you love painting?
Painting is an effective medium to showcase our ideas and share it with the world. When you paint with all your heart your thoughts and emotions change and it will take you to a new world and will also refresh your mind.

How did you get into it?
It is a childhood dream and a passion for me. I started with pencil during free time and it gave me the confidence to play on canvas with colours. Definitely, encouragement from family and friends played a vital role. Whenever I saw beautiful pictures or sceneries, I tried to copy it . I love painting and enjoy using my spare time to paint.

How can one get into it?
Mere desire cannot make anybody an artist. One needs some inner talent which should be sharpened always. Strong desire, efforts, observation, and patience are some of the factors an artist should possess.

What’s your pro-tip on painting?
To do a painting or to become an artist you need a lot of patience and observation. If you want to draw, draw better, or draw as a professional. You must be honest with your work. —[email protected]
