<span class=normal>On asking her what form of painting does she usually prefer, she said, I basically do sketching, drawing, shading or dry pastels. It really depends on my mood on a particular day. One look at the painting above and you may wonder if this is done by a professional artist. Hansika smiles and says, I really havent taken any formal training in painting as such. Its just whatever I learnt in school. My teachers encouraged me by saying that I do have a flair for painting and I just took it forward from there. </span>
