About Art Workshops and Classes
Why I Paint & Teach
Art is my way to bring hope and good vibes - I’m all about making you feel relaxed and inspired. My classes aren’t just about technique, they’re about having a true experience. You’ll paint, chat, maybe mess up a bit, and definitely have fun.
What’s Different Here?
I mix painting with music, like in my Raaglekha Creative Workshop. We have live Sitar, and trust me, it’s not your usual class. It’s more like chilling with friends, but you walk away with art and a clearer mind. It’s especially good for those who love a meditative art workshop.
What You’ll Try
- Indian folk art classes: Madhubani, Pichwai, Gond, Warli - we explore our roots.
- Acrylic canvas painting lessons with knives or brushes.
- Watercolors, oil pastels, pen sketching.
- Urban sketching sessions in parks - sometimes we just go out and draw what we see.
Where We Paint
- Online, live - easy and comfy.
- In my Noida studio - more focused, everything provided.
- Outdoors - fresh air, fresh ideas.
Who’s Welcome?
Literally anyone. Kids, grown-ups, total newbies. I give you supplies and a certificate at the end, but the real takeaway is seeing your own art come alive. Sabke andar artist chhupa hai (Everyone's got an artist hidden inside) - let’s find yours!

My Story
I never went to any fancy art school. I just picked up a brush, and boom, started painting life as I see it. My sketchbook is my sidekick, always with me - metro, cafes, wherever. I’m big on urban sketching, so you’ll catch me doodling at Red Fort or painting the Pangong lake. My art is my diary, you know? I keep coming back to my 'Hope' series, mixing things up. Oh, and making my own clay Ganesh murti for Ganesh Chaturthi - pure joy.
My Work
Art for You - I do custom paintings, commissions, and sell originals. Portraits, abstract, or handmade gifts, just ask.
Experimenting with Styles - I play with oil pastels, acrylics, watercolors, fine line pens, and knife painting texture. Anything goes.
Workshops & Classes - I host online and offline art workshops in Noida and Indore. Raaglekha art workshop is my favorite.
Urban Sketching & Live Art - I’m always out sketching Delhi’s streets, markets, monuments. Urban sketching Delhi is my thing.
