About Art Workshops
Why I Run Art Workshops
Art helps me breathe easier, and I love sharing that with people. My workshops aren’t about getting every stroke right - it’s all about letting go, trying new things, and enjoying the process. Mistakes? Chumma adjust maadi (just adjust, no worries). The best part is seeing folks - especially those who’ve never held a brush before - light up when they finish their first canvas.
What To Expect
These aren’t your typical silent art classes. We laugh, we chat, sometimes we get a bit messy. You can join solo, come with your gang, or even bring your office team for a creative team building activity. Most people are total beginners, so if you feel swalpa (a little) nervous, you’re in good company.
- Group sessions are super beginner-friendly
- Private painting parties for birthdays or any reason to celebrate
- Mobile art session - I come to you! Cafes, lakesides, your home, wherever is convenient in Bangalore or Hubballi-Dharwad
- Kids art workshop - children always welcome
All Materials Included
You don’t need to bring anything. I bring the canvas, brushes, acrylic paints, easels - full setup. Just show up ready to try something new.
Flexible & Fun Locations
No fixed studio. I set up wherever you want. If you love open air, city vibes, or just your living room, we’ll make it work.

My Story
Hey! I’m Ashwini, engineer at Mercedes by day, artist by heart. Painting is my recharge, my therapy. Evenings you’ll find me lost in colors, sometimes with my cats or family, making garden fountains or murals in Dharwad. I’ve raised funds for street animals through my art – that’s my way of giving back. Teaching friends, hosting workshops, those moments feel like magic. Trust the process, take breaks, and let art surprise you.
My Work
What I create - Acrylic paintings (canvas, wood, T-shirts), calligraphy, custom wall murals for homes, and art commissions.
My art style - Mostly nature-inspired acrylic art, dreamy night skies, and my 'Kanasina Kanne' series. Peaceful vibes always.
Painting workshops - Beginners welcome! At 'Aparimita Paints', it’s all about fun, laughter, and leaving with your first canvas.
Art for animal welfare - Part of what you pay goes to treating injured street animals. Your art helps bring joy and care.
