You will be sitting on public benches or curbs in Cubbon Park, working with the tools you bring. We enforce the same strict, no-eraser discipline outdoors as we do in our studio. If you draw a line, it stays. This practice forces you to trust your observation, learn from your mistakes, and capture the scene before the light changes. Our outdoor sketching module is a 12-week commitment to the practice of 'Plein Air' art. This isn't just drawing a tree; it is understanding how light hits the leaves, how the shadow moves as the morning progresses, and how to compose a scene in a changing environment. ### The Gurukul Discipline We believe the classroom is wherever you choose to observe. Guided by mentors like Mahesh Huliyur, you will learn to navigate the challenges of working outdoors. There are no studio amenities here, no easels provided by us, and no shelter from the weather. This environment strips away the unnecessary, leaving only you, your sketchpad, and the subject. ### The 'No Eraser' Principle Our core teaching remains constant: 'Eraser mat use karo, jo bhi galat rekhayein hain - rehne dijiye.' (Don't use an eraser, let the wrong lines stay.) When you are sketching outdoors, the light changes too fast to correct mistakes. You learn to accept them. Those 'wrong' lines become part of your progress. They show you where you looked and how you thought. ### Practical Details - **Schedule:** Every Sunday, 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. - **Location:** Cubbon Park (various spots like the bandstand and bamboo groves). - **Materials:** You must bring your own charcoal, pencils, and sketchbooks. We do not provide supplies. - **Mentorship:** Live demonstrations are conducted on-site to help you grasp perspective and movement. Whether you are a lawyer or a designer, this is your time to disconnect from the noise of Bangalore and reconnect with the rhythm of nature. We welcome anyone ready to commit to 12 weeks of focused practice. ## About Fine Arts Gurukul We are Fine Arts Gurukul, where art is a practice, not a weekend hobby. Our gurukul system strips away the distraction of competition to focus entirely on your growth as an artist, starting every session with an invocation.
