About the Expert

Manaal Javed has been painting in oils for more than four years. She puts her soul onto the canvas by playing with colors. She paints in a number of mediums, including acrylics and water paints. Oil painting is her favorite type of painting because an oil painting can be refined after it is completed. She critiques her work after completion and puts in the elements which she feels is incomplete in the painting. Hand and eye coordination makes her arrange all the elements in her painting beautifully and, of course, her imagination is like the cherry on top.


She has always been a quiet person who does not let her feelings come out. For her, painting is a way to communicate with people. She had this advice to others who are learning oil painting, “Play with colors, feel free and break all the rules… and put the best on the canvas. Always critique your work; it is the key to improvement. Nothing is difficult in this world, just practice and you will create masterpieces in no time!!! Believe in yourself and let your imagination do the rest.”
