A Meaningful Farewell Gift 🎨

We recently had the wonderful opportunity to create a 3 × 5 ft acrylic painting on canvas, commissioned by the FAO Nepal team as a special farewell gift for Mr. Ken Shimizu, FAO Country Representative for Nepal, in appreciation of his valuable contribution and as a lasting memory from the FAO Nepal team.

It was a meaningful experience to create a work that carries not only artistic value but also gratitude, appreciation, and remembrance.

We are grateful to the FAO Nepal team for trusting us with this special commission and giving us the opportunity to be part of such a thoughtful farewell.

Thank you, FAO Nepal team, for the wonderful opportunity! 🙏🎨

Outdoor sketching session with Anish Sir and our Drawing Room Khichapokhari students at Basantapur Durbar Square. ✏️

Sketching from life is one of the best ways to sharpen observation, improve drawing skills, and connect with the rich architectural and cultural heritage of Kathmandu. It was a wonderful day of learning, exploring, and creating together.

Rainy days are made for painting. ☔🎨

Here are a few moments from our ongoing Monsoon Painting Workshop, where our watercolour participants are observing and painting plants from life using watercolour and pen.

It's inspiring to see how even the simplest subjects can encourage us to slow down, observe more closely, and create with intention.

Why not make today a painting day too? Grab a sketchbook, find a plant by your window, and let the rhythm of the rain inspire your creativity.
