built up in thin, honest layers.

"Most of what I know about painting, I learned trying to make one square inch of grass look right."

Yash paints in water‑mixable oils — a way of working that keeps the buttery, slow-drying quality of traditional oil paint without the solvents. Lately the focus has been on brushwork itself: rigger and liner brushes, paint consistency, and the small decisions that make a field of grass read as something growing rather than something painted.
