## About Art Workshops & Classes

### Why I Teach Art

Art started off as my escape, especially during tough times when I didn’t want to open up to anyone. Sketching was how I let it all out. Now, it’s my way of helping others find their voice, especially if you’re feeling stuck or just want to try something new.

### What Happens in My Workshops

I keep things informal — it’s more like hanging out with fellow art lovers than a typical class. Here’s how we roll:
- We do outdoor sketching workshops at spots like Sunder Nursery or Janpath, soaking in Delhi’s vibe and sketching whatever catches our eye.
- Sessions are super chill and easygoing. You’ll pick up beginner drawing techniques from me and others in the group. No one’s judging — you’re free to mess up and learn.
- We combine collaborative art sessions with personal growth, sharing our sketchbooks at the end so everyone gets a peek at what others made.

### How You’ll Grow

We start from scratch. Basics first — shapes, lines, proportion. I use stuff like the Loomis method and keep it hands-on with pencils, ink, graphite, and charcoal. We cover portraits, city scenes, heritage buildings, and more.

### Real Talk: Progress Isn’t Linear

Sometimes I procrastinate. Sometimes you will too. It took me nearly a year to finish a piece once! No shame in slow days. You just pick up again and move forward. That’s how art goes.

### Where We Meet

No fixed studio — Delhi is our classroom. Parks, markets, random corners, wherever feels right. Dekh raha hai na Binod... sessions are always something different!

### My story

Hey, Tarun here, straight outta Delhi. Art for me? Not just pretty pictures. It's how I make sense of my mess. I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I’m lazy as hell—like that Zakir Khan portrait, took me almost a year! Still, every piece, even the slow ones, means something. When my head gets heavy, I draw it out. No filters, just me, real and raw. Dekho, jo dekhna hai dekh lo (see what you want to see).

### My work

- **Custom Handmade Portraits**: I make portraits from your photos using graphite, charcoal, or color pencils. Real faces, real details.
- **Live Sketching & Murals**: You’ll spot me at weddings or events, doing live portrait sketching. I also paint murals and murtis.
- **Realism & Hyperrealism**: Obsessed with details—hair, eyes, all of it. Love hyperrealistic graphite drawings and ballpoint pen crosshatching.
- **Conceptual Art from the Heart**: I draw about stuff like anxiety and love. Pieces like 'Burden' come from my own struggles.
- **Teaching & Honest Process**: I share step-by-step drawing guides. If I’m slow ‘cause life happens, I’ll tell you. Art’s worth it.
