Textured Art & Palette Knife Painting Workshops
Ditch the paintbrush and start sculpting. In these sessions, we use heavy-body paste and palette knives to build 3D florals, landscapes, and abstracts that you can actually touch. No prior art experience is needed to create these deep, tactile masterpieces.

About this collection
The secret to this style isn't precision, it's just playing with the paste. We use heavy-body acrylics and palette knives to sculpt 3D waves, petals, or abstract layers directly onto the canvas. It is much more forgiving than traditional brush painting, making it perfect for anyone who says they have never painted before. You get to play with tools, get a little messy, and walk away with a piece that has real depth.
Why Choose Textured Art?
If you have ever felt intimidated by a blank canvas, this is your entry point. Unlike traditional acrylic painting where you focus on blending and strokes, textured art is about adding volume. We provide the texture paste, palette knives, and guidance you need to create 'impasto' style art. Whether you want to recreate a serene beachscape or try your hand at 3D bougainvillea, the process is incredibly tactile and meditative.
The Studio B&B Vibe
My studio in Noida is a space to disconnect from the noise. My mom and I have built this as a 'maa-beti jodi' haven where the only rule is that there are no rules. We play music, we have coffee or chai, and we just create. You will find that the physical act of smearing paste and layering colors is the best therapy after a long week.
What to Expect
- Tools: We provide all supplies, including canvas boards, heavy-body acrylics, and professional-grade palette knives.
- Technique: I will guide you through building layers, creating depth, and even adding gold leaf for that extra pop if the design calls for it.
- Skill Level: Whether you are 4 or 84, you can do this. We focus on the 'Wabi Sabi' philosophy here—finding beauty in imperfection. Your canvas is your story, not a test.
- Takeaway: You walk home with a finished piece that is dry to the touch and ready to hang on your wall.
Looking for something more personal? We also host private paint parties for squads, kitty groups, or couples who want to bond over a shared canvas.

I’m Isha, and at Brushes & Brew, my mom and I run this space as a haven for anyone who wants to breathe and create. We believe everyone has a story worth painting, regardless of whether you have held a brush since childhood or are picking one up for the first time. Come over, it’s just you, your canvas, and a whole lot of coffee.
