About Online Workshops: Learn From a Master
You do not need to be an expert to start. In our sessions, we use a dedicated top-down camera setup so you can see my brushstrokes in real-time, just as if you were sitting right here in my studio. Whether we are preparing the gesso paste or applying 22-carat gold leaf, every step is broken down into simple, manageable actions that you can replicate at home.
Mysore painting is a meditative practice, and my goal is to help you find that same peace. We offer two levels of instruction designed to meet you where you are in your artistic journey. For those who want the full experience, the Masterclass covers everything from freehand sketching to the final delicate gold leafing. If you prefer a focused approach, our beginner course bypasses the anatomy sketching phase, allowing you to dive straight into the gesso embossing and color work on a pre-drawn board.
My daughter, Amulya, provides live English translation for every class, ensuring that language is never a barrier to learning this heritage. We ship a complete art kit—including brushes, poster colors, and pure gold leaf—directly to your doorstep in India. You only need to arrange a basic white ceramic plate and stone pestle locally to prepare your traditional mediums.
We keep batch sizes small to ensure I can see your work and provide personal feedback. After each session, you receive recordings, so you can practice at your own pace without feeling rushed. This is not just a digital class; it is an invitation to bring the tradition of Mysore into your daily life.
