This stunning recreation of Gustave Caillebotte’s "Paris Street; Rainy Day" is a portfolio piece from one of my students. We worked together to master two-point perspective, complex composition, and the interplay of light and shadow to bring this classic scene to life with acrylics. This is the level of work that gets you noticed by top design schools.
Observational drawing is a cornerstone of a strong portfolio. This detailed beetle sketch shows a mastery of pencil shading, texture, and proportion. I teach students to look closely at the world around them, from bugs to teacups, and translate it onto the page with precision.
This completed Tanjore painting of Goddess Lakshmi showcases incredible discipline and attention to detail. While a traditional art form, mastering techniques like 24K gold foil application and intricate line work demonstrates a level of patience and skill that is highly valued in any design portfolio.
I love seeing my students' progress. This collection of still life paintings by one of my adult learners shows her journey in mastering acrylics. From understanding light on a simple cup to capturing the complex textures of sunflowers, each piece is a step forward in finding her unique artistic voice.

About Design College Portfolio Preparation

Why I Do What I Do

For me, prepping for design college isn’t just about ticking boxes or copying fancy pieces. It’s about learning to actually see things, getting your hands dirty, and building your own style from zero. If you’re dreaming of NID or NIFT, or just want to make art that stands out, this is for you.

Who Should Join

  • Teens and adults who are serious about design
  • Beginners, dabblers, or anyone wanting a boost for their portfolio
  • Folks prepping for entrance exams like NID, NIFT, UCEED, and IIAD

What We Dive Into

  • Sketching and drawing foundation: Basics, proportions, texture - not skipping the essentials
  • Observational drawing: Train your eye; we’ll sketch everything from chai cups to bugs
  • Composition, perspective, and color theory: We break it down, so you get how things fit together and pop
  • Acrylic painting and light & shadow: Making your work breathe and stand out
  • Art storytelling for design portfolios: Storyboards, manga, big ideas and themes - not just pretty pictures
  • Portfolio curation techniques: Picking your best, presenting it so it actually feels like you

Studio Vibe

My Story

We’re BrainArt Studio, and honestly, art’s not just paint or paper for us. It’s how you see things, how you talk without words. Our place is full of wild ideas - little kids mixing colors, teens sketching dreams for college, adults trying Tanjore painting after ages. Some folks need a bit more help, and we’re right there. Watching someone get lost in their own creation? That’s the magic we live for. This isn’t just a class. It’s a wild, messy, creative ride.

My Work

All Kinds of Art Classes - Sensory art for toddlers, visual art for kids and teens, Tanjore painting, macrame, sketching, and portfolio prep for design colleges.

How We Do It - We mix culture, skill, and fun. One day it’s Saura tribal art, next it’s Monet. Classes are always hands-on and expressive.

Art for Everyone - Kids, teens, adults, special needs - beginners or hobbyists, we guide you step-by-step. No one’s left out.

Messy Play, Smart Play - For little ones, we let them get messy with clay and paint. It’s fun and helps their brains grow.
