Lanshiya Art Gallery - Custom Potrait Painting

My passion of drawing didn't start in any art school or by the help of any instructors, I didn't even attend one for starters. Well it may have started when I was in Kindergarden or maybe even before that. I remember drawing a little girl by a lake, I remember drawing horses, I remeber drawing Tinkerbell after reading Peter Pan. And for college I went to a businese school so I sort of deviated from my dream job of being an artist. After college, I started working as an assistant accountant, I didn't like my job role hence I had to face alot of pressure. I tried meditation, it didn't work, I tried going to a gym it didn't work and atlast I sat down and drew what I was going through. After drawing the above image I felt like all of my stress just disappeared. At that moment I felt like I was born again. I was able to express my emotions through my art.  It was then I heard about Mandala art. Everyday after work I started drawing my day in the form on Mandal

Mandala art therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which a skilled therapist directs clients through a variety of creative techniques using geometric patterns in an attempt to find or restore a sense of healthy mental equilibrium. Even before the word itself was invented, art therapy was put into action and mental health professionals long recognized the importance of creative expression in answering a broad variety of psychological concerns. Today, the use of art therapy helps to relieve depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, sadness, and anger management. Mandalas have gained significant recent interest in art therapy. Therapists use mandalas within art therapy by allowing the client to create a mandala at that specific point in time that reflects his or her feelings. For others, the practice is rather self-assured and centered. Others see mandala techniques as effective tools to suppress negative emotions like fear, anxiety or anger. One of the most fascinating aspec

Creating art can be calming but the process of creating can be stuffed with stress and tension for professional artists because we work against deadlines and our own standards. Many of us may be unable to let go of the creative process or get out of our own heads. And particularly for most of us the tension is physical — hunted over potter's wheels and tables, standing in front of our easel for hours with tensed shoulders and jaws. Mindfulness will help us relax and re-enter our lives with some ease. Breathe All feels like it is unraveling throughout stressful times. Yet deep breathing is one of the simplest and most natural methods for combating tension, anxiety, and even reducing pain and high blood pressure. Meditate Meditation helps to quiet the chatter in the brain. Are you worried and overthinking abouta piece of art? Are you approaching your art supplies disorientated? Try some easy breathing exercises if you need a good mental nudge to get clarity and a bit of

Parents deserve a gift with a very emotional touch for their wedding anniversary. With the prevalence of divorces celebrated every day in the newspapers, the marriage of your parents needs to be honored for more than 2 decades of remaining glued together. It is hard work to stay married for 5 years. It takes absolute determination to stay married for 10 years. Moreover, it is simply beyond miraculous to stay married for 25 years. And that is the reason why you should think very deeply while considering the gift for your parents 25th anniversary.  Jeevithan came to us and he wanted a custom pencil portrait for his parents wedding anniversary. After carefully crafting it, we added a nice frame and delivered it to his house. Here's what he said after a week: "My parents are very proud to hang up the potrait in their living room and show it to relatives, friends, and visitors. And I believe in the remaining years of their lives this will keep my parents love for eac

Are you in the verge of drawing your first pencil portrait? Great!!! The following are my top 5 tips for absolute beginners. 1. Understand your pencils. It is very important for you to have the right pencil for your portrait. Usually I use only two types of pencils: 4H and 4B. 4H can be used to get the perfect edges in your drawings while 4B gives you a smooth texture to use the shading tool. 2. Know to control your pencils. While this is a widely debated concept, personally my advice is just be comfortable with the way you are holding the pencil and make sure not give too much pressure to the paper. 3. Try not to smudge. While it is impossible not to smudge while shading a region, use a piece of paper to cover the region of the hand that would smudge the paper. 4. Know your edges. Regardless of what size paper you are using, always make sure to leave 1/2" - 1" along the borders so that the portrait will not be affected while framing it. 5. C

Mandalas are circular patterns with recurring forms, and sometimes have spiritual significance. The word "mandala" originates from the term for circle in Sanskrit. Many people believe that drawing mandalas are a very centric and expressive practice.
