About

Art is for everyone. I get real joy helping folks of all ages find their groove with portrait drawing. I’m not after perfection - it’s about enjoying the process and watching your style grow.

What We Do in Class

• We kick off with basic sketching, sorting out facial proportions and features.
• I’ll walk you through pencil shading techniques workshop style, showing you how to add texture and depth so your portraits pop.
• We mix it up with materials - think charcoal, watercolors, and sometimes oil paints. Each has its own vibe, and you’ll get to try what feels right.

Who Shows Up

Doesn’t matter if you’re 8 or 80. I’ve had total beginners and seasoned hobbyists sit side by side. Some batches run for teens and up, but I tweak things for younger kids if they’re keen. All you need is a bit of curiosity.

How Workshops Run

• Online classes for folks everywhere, or join me in Bangalore for in-person learning.
• We use reference photos and work step-by-step. You’ll see your own progress, session by session.
• Usually takes around 10 hours split up, so there’s time to relax and actually enjoy it.

My proudest moments? When someone realizes, “Hey, I can actually draw a face!” That’s why I do this - to build a small community, not just run beginner portrait art classes.
