Portrait of Swami Mahatabkak – painting in process

I started a new portrait painting. After finishing my latest digital painting I was longing for some “real” paint and canvas.

When I was in India this summer, I saw a very captivating photo of my spiritual teacher’s teacher and decided to paint it in large (20×24 inch).

Update 8/18/23 with a slideshow to illustrate the process…

 

Here is the process so far 11/14/33…

  • Beautiful paintings
    Was Mehtab kak ji married or not

    • I heard he had a family and was a hakim (healer) that gave out bassum (sacred ashes).

I like to hear from you
