About Me I am a self taught artist with a passion for water colors. Born in India, I was always attracted to the beauty of vibrant colors and deep hues of the cultural festivals. At the age of five I started drawing freehand looking at various story book pictures. Luckily I was born in a very supportive family. They provided me with all the materials I wanted to explore and never forgot to compliment me on my work, which further motivated me and built in me the confidence to continue.

My day job is keeping me busy and I have not been consistent in my studio... But you reached at the right time. I am actually in the middle of making a tutorial on a hibiscus flower! You may expect it by the end of this month. Your suggestions have been noted down. I am glad this papaya tutorial was helpful to you. I wish for your good health. Take care :) Dede May 31 2020 11:30 am ...more than 5 years ago I like the painting but I am lost on how u made the shadow of the fruit. Reply Swati S Jun 01 2020 03:24 am ...more than 5 years ago http://www.swatisinghstudio.com @Dede Hi Dede, welcome to the studio! Well, for the shadow part simply move a clean damp brush over the area where you want to add the shadow. Just make sure that you do not add a lot of water when you do this. You may dab your brush on a wet tissue before applying on the sheet to prevent this. Then, while the area is still wet add the same colour we mixed in Step 6 for the seeds and add it in. This will make sure that the colour spreads evenly. Hope this helps!
