Art is intuitive, expressive and fun at MansiMakes.
Create With Your Heart and Your Hands Will Follow
This is a real, unedited, uncropped view of my art table. My hands and clothes are usually covered in paint, my stamps and stencils strewn all over the table and my mind is in shutdown mode.
I create with my heart and my hands follow. I create for myself and myself alone. I create without thinking, let alone overthinking, and I encourage you to do the same! My art is a form of self-expression, drawn from my life experience and rooted in authenticity. It doesn’t follow a template and isn’t slave to popularity contests. It’s personal, it’s emotional and it’s honest.

Watercolor Portraits with Acrylic Inks
A lot of people get overwhelmed by the idea of making portraits. I do, too! In fact I have been so scared of making faces that I have avoided them all along. But, last month, I decided to pretend I wasn’t afraid anymore and dropped ink on paper.
And now I am ready to share my secret with you. In this new class, Watercolor Portraits with Acrylic Inks, I’ll take you through my technique, encourage, support and guide you through your fears and help you embrace your intuition.
I’m looking forward to seeing the powerful, evocative and unique portraits you create!
I figured if I messed up, it would be fine. If I didn’t create the most perfect face, I’d be ok. If I made a giant pile of mud, the world wouldn’t come to an end. And you know what? It liberated me of all fear! I started seeing these faces emerge. Their stories were not fake…nor were their spirits. They came alive with every stroke, slowly but surely.

Custom Prints
I love functional art! Who doesn’t? There’s only so much room on the walls to hand up paintings, so I decided to start wearing them! It all started with scarves…cushion covers followed, then dresses and now we sport custom masks and carry colorful tote bags and backpacks in our house!
Prints of my alcohol ink, gel plate and acrylic paintings on a wide variety of functional products are fulfilled by Redbubble. What are you going to shop for today?
