My journey into Fine Arts
[youtube zJWO0QKZvN0 600]
| I began drawing and painting when I was 6 years old. My sister taught me how to draw the lotus flower until I perfected it (see a lotus flower on the right hand side of the pencil sketch of Goddess Saraswati below). I then used to practise copying pictures of Hindu deities – often with multiple arms and difficult to draw. These are some of my early works done during school days: |  |

I don’t have a formal training in Art. In senior school, a new teacher to school, Mr Sanjay Purohit showed me that I could paint much better with more patience on each work.
