## About Hands-On Art Workshops

My workshops are not just about watching me paint; we pick up brushes together. We focus on professional-grade materials like 300 GSM Arches paper and high-quality mineral watercolours, because learning how paint behaves on a specific surface is half the battle. Whether we are sketching landscapes or portraits, I guide you step-by-step so you walk away with a painting you actually created, rather than just a theory lesson.

### Learn the Process, Not Just the Technique

I believe art is best learned by doing. In my hands-on workshops, I break down the intimidation factor of starting a blank page. We cover the entire journey—from planning your composition to controlling the water-to-pigment ratio. My goal is to pass on the basics my father taught me, adjusted for your personal style.

### What We Cover in Sessions

*   **Watercolour Foundations:** Understanding paper weight, brush pressure, and how to layer Supervision mineral watercolours.
*   **Acrylic Landscapes:** Mixing techniques using Camel HD Acrylics and creating texture.
*   **Live Portrait Demos:** I paint a subject in real-time while explaining my thought process, which helps you see how to capture likeness and personality on paper.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need to bring my own supplies?**
For private group workshops, I provide everything—from A3 paper and shared palettes to brushes and tools. Just bring yourself and your curiosity.

**Are these classes for beginners?**
Absolutely. I design my sessions so that absolute beginners can complete a landscape or still-life painting within the 4-hour window, while art students can pick up technical nuances to improve their own practice.

**Do you only work in Pune?**
While I am based in Pune, I travel across India for art colleges, festivals, and private camps. If you have a group or an event, reach out and we can plan it.

## About Amit Dhane

I grew up watching my father paint, and that taught me that art is meant to be shared. Today, teaching isn't just about techniques for me; it's a way to keep the joy of creating alive, whether I am at a college in Pune or a festival across India.
