The truth is, I provide all the supplies and guidance for a reason—to get you out of your head and into the flow. Whether we are painting at Copper+Cloves or sitting on the grass at Cubbon Park, the focus is never on the final product. It is about the messy process, the spontaneous conversation, and the relief of creating something alongside other people. ### Why I Host These Circles We live in a world that often tells us to perform rather than just exist. My community art circles are a quiet form of resistance against that. When we gather in a space like Cubbon Park, we aren't there to make a masterpiece that belongs in a gallery. We are there to use art as a language to speak about things we often suppress—our stress, our need for connection, or just the desire to get our hands dirty. ### What to Expect These sessions are designed to be accessible. I believe art should be a common good, not a luxury. That is why for many of my community events, I operate on a sliding scale or a contribution-based model. My goal is to ensure that anyone who needs to slow down and create has a place at the table. We keep the activities simple. You might find us engaging in: * **Collective Murals:** Contributing to a single piece of art that represents the group energy. * **Nature-Based Play:** Using materials found around our venue to sketch, paint, or build. * **Mindful Reflection:** Taking time to discuss what we felt while creating, not just what we made. ### Who This Is For These workshops are for the beginner who thinks they cannot draw a straight line, for the professional who needs a mental break, and for anyone in Bengaluru looking to meet people outside of apps and screens. I bring all the paints, brushes, and paper. You just need to bring yourself, comfortable clothes, and an open mind. Come ready to get a little paint on your hands. ## About Madhuri Umashankar Hi, I'm Madhuri. I’m a self-taught artist who thinks the world needs more play and less 'do not touch' energy.
