Some of the most realistic watercolour artworks are found in Bincy’s page Art By B. The “artist, mom, engineer and instructor” creates small frames of gorgeous watercolours along with videos of her creating them. There are tons of giveaways and collars on her page because we truly can’t think of someone who deserves it more than her! There is something to learn from Bincy Mathews, whether you are a beginner or a pro.

Mariyam’s page says “A poet who can’t stop painting starry night on unusual things” and she really means it when she says ‘unusual things’. Old CDs, shoes, guitars, she doesn’t leave any surface unpainted and one stands to gain immense experience watching her create the most surreal art on these objects. Open for commission, this “scientist in making” has a shop where she sells her artefacts too. Check it out!

This self-taught artist understands layers and depth of painting like no other. It is perhaps her self-taught ways that make her put up stages of her artwork in a single post so that artists can understand her process. In small postcard-size art sheets, she will bring alive the most vibrant landscapes one can find.

Run by Naina, this profile will take you to typography paradise, if there exists one. She paints and scribbles and doodles fonts and letters with such beauty, one can’t help but stare at the work in progress. But the best part is that her videos in slo-mo allow you to understand her art and give it a try yourself.
