About Professional Art Training & Mentorship
Why I Do This
Art's always felt like home to me, not just a pass-time. If you see yourself as more than a weekend painter and want to turn your art into something bigger, this is for you. Banni, let’s get serious about your talent.
Who Should Join
- Hobbyists wanting to go pro
- Advanced artists looking for that next push
- Anyone dreaming of becoming a certified art teacher
- Adults craving a proper, structured art environment
What You Get Here
I don’t just teach - I mentor. My approach is all about helping you find your own voice, not just copy mine. We’ll dig into:
- Core drawing, sketching, and shading
- Hands-on work with oils, acrylics, watercolors, and mixed media
- Figuring out your personal style (not just technique)
- Artist portfolio coaching to get your work gallery-ready
Beyond Just Classes
My academy is your stage. I push for real exposure - not just in-house shows, but also big ones like Chitra Santhe, Dubai, and Nepal. We prep together for competitions, and many of my students have bagged national and international awards.
If teaching is your thing, our art educator certification course is open for folks over 23. Many who finish up end up with us or in our wider network - job guarantee (with some conditions, of course).
Studio Space
Our Malleshwaram studio is adults-only - a focused, real art environment. No distractions, just you, your work, and direct mentorship from me.

My Story
Namaste, NS Kumbar here. Art has been my heartbeat from the start. My mom taught me, now I get called 'sir' by so many kids and grown-ups. It all began with one studio, now we’re all over Bangalore. Awards are nice, but watching a shy kid grow into an artist showing work in Dubai? That’s the real win. Our journey is just a big, messy, colourful painting – and everyone’s invited.
My Work
All kinds of art classes - Drawing, painting, shading plus pottery studio Bangalore. We teach basics to advanced, any age.
Fun workshops & camps - Rakhi making workshop, candle making, decoupage classes, wall murals, and summer camps for all.
Showcase your art - We run Chitrakar art competition - students of any age can exhibit and win, even internationally.
Learn from artists - Our team is full of pros. Advanced learners and future teachers get extra guidance at Malleshwaram.
Flexible learning - Join online or in studio. Free demo class if you want to try before you join.
