Living colour & captured lines

A husband-and-wife studio. Rakhi paints in heavy-body acrylics; Utkarsh draws in pencil. Every piece here is a one-off original, painted and drawn at our kitchen table.

The two of us

Rakhi

Acrylic on canvas — bright birds, wildlife and water, painted thickly so the light catches the brushwork. Commissions from your own photographs are welcome.

Utkarsh

Pencil and graphite — portraits and studies worked in soft shading. Sketches are drawn to order, usually on A4 or A3 paper.

Our story

Love, rekindled art, and Dual Palette Studio

Dual Palette Studio by R&U is more than just an art studio—it’s the story of two lives and artistic journeys coming together.

Utkarsh had stepped away from his sketchbooks for years, leaving his pencils and graphite behind as life moved forward. That all changed when we met. Surrounded by my paints, canvases, and the constant flow of color, something reignited in him. Seeing the creative energy in our home inspired Utkarsh to pick up his sketching tools once again.

Today, our home and studio are filled with both worlds. Rakhi brings vibrant color, impasto texture, and fluid motion to the canvas, while Utkarsh grounds each piece with precise linework, deep graphite shading, and intricate detail.

Dual Palette Studio is the celebration of that second spark—a shared space where paint meets pencil, and two distinct styles tell one story.
