“I read My Artistic Journey by Mukesh Singh Bisht and felt like I was going through my entire journey again: from the first hesitant brushstrokes to trying to find my voice. As a watercolorist, I especially appreciate that Mukesh doesn’t pretend everything came right away. He writes honestly about those moments when the watercolor “takes on a life of its own,” and you stand there and think, “Well, there it goes again.” And it’s in these stories that you find the greatest support: you understand that it’s not you who’s doing something wrong, but rather that it’s part of the process.
Mukesh’s tone is free of pathos, without the “I’m a genius” attitude—he’s simply a man who loves his craft and isn’t afraid to show how difficult things can be. I was especially touched by the passages about finding a theme and how style is influenced by one’s native place and culture—this resonates deeply with me as an artist who also seeks grounding in my roots.
Рекомендую всем, кто хочет заглянуть за кулисы творческого процесса и почувствовать, что вы не одни в своих сомнениях и поисках».

I recommend it to anyone who wants to take a look behind the scenes of the creative process and feel that you are not alone in your doubts and searches.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and beautiful review. 🙏 It means so much to me that my journey and experiences connected with you as an artist.
Watercolour teaches us to accept the unexpected, keep experimenting, and continue even when things don’t go as planned. I’m truly happy that the book reminded you of this and made you feel that you’re not alone in those moments of doubt.
Your words about art, roots, and finding our own voice really touched me. Thank you for taking the time to read my book and share such a meaningful response. I’m deeply grateful for your support. 🎨🙏
