We prioritize the fundamentals, such as color temperature, water flow, or layering, rather than rushing to finish a piece. You will be responsible for purchasing your own consumables—such as 300 GSM paper or professional-grade paints—and we will provide a detailed list to ensure you invest in quality materials that last. Our painting modules are designed for those who want to move past casual hobbies and develop a serious practice. We view painting as a 'sadhana', or disciplined practice, and our Jayanagar studio provides the calm environment needed for this work. ### The Watercolor Module We emphasize the physics of the medium: wet-on-wet techniques, transparency, and water flow control. Because watercolors are unforgiving, we spend the initial weeks learning how paper reacts to pigment, teaching you to embrace the permanence of every stroke. ### The Acrylic Module In our acrylic classes, you will learn to build texture, blend, and work with layers. We encourage students to study the masters, often analyzing the work of artists like S. Ilayaraja to understand how light and shadow behave in figurative painting. You will learn to manipulate drying times and use mediums correctly to achieve the finish you want. ### Learning at the Gurukul All classes are held offline in our studio. We maintain small, focused batches to ensure you receive specific feedback on your brushwork and color choices. We avoid competition, preferring that each student works at their own pace. If you are a beginner, we strongly recommend completing our foundation sketching module first, though we can assess students with prior experience individually. Come prepared to treat these sessions with the same respect you would give to any professional pursuit. ## About Fine Arts Gurukul We are Fine Arts Gurukul, and we have been helping artists find their voice in Jayanagar since 2011. We do not treat art as a commodity but as a discipline that requires patience and a focused mind. Join us if you are ready to treat your painting sessions with the respect a craft deserves.
