Hello Everyone!
I'm Anagha Sivadas P, a mixed media artist from Coimbatore, India. I began my art journey after graduating from IISER TVM, starting out casually but soon realizing my deep passion for it. What began as a hobby has now transformed into my full-time thing.
I'm a self-taught artist. Back in 2022, I wondered how effortlessly some artists sketched portraits. When I tried, it felt impossible at first--but I took it as a personal challenge to master it within a year. Through consistent practice and determination, I achieved what I once thought was unattainable. Today, I focus more on creating portraits using different mediums like pencil, acrylic, gouache, watercolor, and oil--though gouache and acrylic are my go-to favorites.
