Emraan Turns a Painter after Raaz 2
Emraan will be seen portraying the role of a painter in the sequel of Raaz TMC, but little is known that the actor has turned into a painter in real life too.
For the movie he was trained by Sailesh Achrekar and learnt different strokes and techniques of painting.
Emraan says, “Before shooting for Raaz, I was training under Sailesh Achrekar. Mohit (Suri; Raaz 2 director) wanted a character similar to Sailesh.
During this course, I started to learn to paint using various techniques, which I was not even aware of.
Through the lessons, I learnt to sketch with charcoal, pencils, work with oil paints and use different tools for effect such as knives and sponges.”
The entire process of painting rejuvenates me and is a complete stress-buster. It is just the start and I am not a pro at it but I’m trying to get better with every portrait.
With any form of art, you need practice. You have to trust it, offer something your best and then step back to see what is created.
What do you think Emraan paints?
