Send us a text In this episode of One Brushstroke at a Time, I take you behind the canvas of my boldest work yet — my tiger painting. It began without a plan and turned into the moment I discovered my true style: a fusion of abstraction and realism, unapologetic and raw.

Send us a text In this episode, I’m talking about something we all feel at some point — the pressure to follow trends. As an artist, I used to scroll through Instagram and wonder if I was doing it wrong. Everyone seemed to be painting the same things. Selling the same way. Showing up in the same style. So I tried to follow… but it never felt like me. Eventually, I stopped chasing what was popular and started creating from intuition — and everything changed. But this episode isn’t just for art...
Send us a text In this episode, I’m sharing something very personal — my deep connection to wildlife and why painting animals, especially big cats, has always felt like coming home. I didn’t become a wildlife artist by accident. Even as a child, I was obsessed with lions, tigers, and leopards — I even dreamed of having a lion as a pet! (Spoiler: probably not the best idea.) What started as fascination has become something sacred. Painting these animals helps me reconnect with parts of mysel...

If you’ve ever doubted your teaching style, or you’re someone learni...
Send us a text In this very first episode of Software to Sketchbooks, I’m sharing the real story behind leaving my 17-year career in IT to become a full-time artist. This wasn’t a dramatic leap—it was a slow, quiet unfolding. Years of painting late at night, questioning what I really wanted, and slowly falling in love with the brush more than the keyboard. This episode isn’t a step-by-step guide. It’s not a “how-to.” It’s a why. If you’ve ever felt torn between what looks good on paper and wh...

Send us a text Why do artists feel guilty charging for what they create with love? Today, we soften the conversation around money, worth, and valuing your soul-work. This episode is a warm, honest reminder that pricing your art is not ego—it’s self-respect, sustainability, and devotion to your creative life. → My Website : https://www.krititiwariart.com
Send us a text 11:11, 777, 888 — these numbers keep appearing in my life.
