### My story

Hi, I’m Jeeva. You know, art’s been my thing forever, but teaching it to folks - that’s something else. My students? From little ones to grandpas, everyone’s got a spot here. Seriously, Aryan’s charcoal drawing at 14 and Prafulla sir’s watercolour at 85 - both make me grin. My daughter’s an artist too, and her work even made it to the National Art Exhibition! Travel, workshops, meeting new artists, especially women - all that keeps me inspired and buzzing.

### My work

- **Art classes for all ages**: I teach Watercolour, Oil, Charcoal, Acrylic, Pencil Shading, Tanjore, and Kerala Murals. Anyone 12+ can join.
- **Kerala mural workshops & portrait sketching**: Special sessions for Kerala mural art and portrait sketching. Learn techniques in around 10 hours.
- **Student-focused teaching**: I give personal attention. My aim is to help you find your style, whether you’re a total newbie or not.
