## About Art Classes

### Who I Teach

I welcome anyone who’s curious about art. Kids, seniors, first-timers, or those who want to get better - I’ve had students from 8 years old all the way up to 85. If you’re willing to try, that's all I ask.

### What You’ll Learn

I cover a lot. The heart of my classes starts with drawing and sketching basics - pencil shading, charcoal work, detailed stuff like animals and the Hampi chariot. If you’re into colours, I teach watercolour painting lessons for landscapes, florals, and portraits. Oil and acrylic painting are also part of the mix, including knife painting and textured work.

For anyone who loves tradition, I teach Indian art styles like Tanjore, Kerala murals, Madhubani, Warli, and Mandala art. These are special - not everyone offers this depth.

### How Classes Work

I keep things flexible. You can join online from anywhere, or come to my studio in Bangalore. Demo classes are there if you want to see how it feels. I also run portrait sketching workshops and focused sessions if you want to dive deep.

### Real Talk

Some students pick things up faster, some take time - I’m okay with both. I celebrate wins, like when one of my students got a watercolour portrait chosen for a national contest. And if you need exam coaching for the Karnataka board, I’ll help you prep.

Art is for everyone. If you want to learn, you’ll fit right in.

[Jeeva Kumari](https://mytribe.in/jeevasri12)

### 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.
