Special Art Projects and Techniques
From monochromatic studies to global landmarks, see how our students master specific art techniques through focused, creative projects.
A lovely monochromatic still life by Ishika using a single shade of green. This exercise challenges students to focus on texture, tone, and composition.
A dramatic landscape by Arihaan using color pencils in a single red hue to create depth and mood.
A peaceful landscape by Ishani, using different shades of blue to create a sense of distance and atmosphere.
Another beautiful blue landscape, this time by Agamya using oil pastels to create rich texture.
A still life study by Rayirth using oil pastels in shades of purple, focusing on light and shadow to define form.
This image shows how blending with oil pastels can create a smooth transition between colors, making these strawberries look realistic and delicious.
Blending with oil pastels adds depth and realism, making textures and gradients come alive, as seen in this vibrant drawing of red chilies.
A great tip for oil pastels: sometimes it's best not to over-blend and to retain some texture for more character, as shown in this expressive parrot drawing.
Did you know oil pastel blending can be done with fingers, cotton swabs, or even tissues? This technique helps create the soft, smooth surface of this peach.
This is the reference photo our students used for their monument art project on the Berlin Dome.
About Additional Work & Celebrations
When we tackle complex subjects like the Berlin Dome or monochromatic still life, we do not just ask you to copy an image. We break the structure down into simple shapes and guide you through the process, so you understand the technique behind the art rather than just drawing the lines.
Why focus on monochromatic art? It forces us to move past the distraction of color and really look at light, shadow, and texture. When students work with a single hue, they learn to see value, which makes their future work in full color significantly stronger. We often see students gain a new level of confidence once they realize they can build depth without relying on a full palette.
For our architecture projects like the Berlin Dome, we use a similar simplification method. We do not worry about hyper-realism. We focus on composition, scale, and capturing the character of the building. Whether you are using oil pastels to blend gradients or watercolors for soft washes, our goal remains the same: teach you the technique, then give you the space to play.
Everything we teach is live and interactive on Zoom. If you are struggling with a specific blend or a perspective line, our teachers jump in to guide you immediately. We record every session, so if you miss a class or want to re-watch a specific technique, you can always catch up.
