Art Courses at Pencil & Chai

This is our quiet corner of calm in Jayanagar. With wooden desks and a focused, peaceful energy, our studio is a space where you can disconnect from the rush and reconnect with your creativity.

Our teaching philosophy is built on personal guidance. Here, an instructor helps a student master watercolor techniques, ensuring every artist gets the one-on-one attention needed to grow with confidence.

We often take our classes outdoors to sketch amidst nature. These plein air sessions are where our name, Pencil & Chai, truly comes to life, blending the joy of art with the calm of the outdoors.

Color brings a new dimension to your art. In our color pencil courses, we guide you through layering and blending techniques to create vibrant, lifelike artworks like this beautiful sunbird.

Understanding light and shadow is fundamental. This video shows a live demonstration of how we teach shading, breaking down complex techniques into simple, repeatable steps for our students.

This is what dedication and practice can lead to. This stunning watercolor portrait, created by one of our talented artists, showcases the depth and emotion you can achieve with the right guidance.

We love to see tradition reimagined. Here, a student works on a beautiful fusion piece, applying modern gel pen techniques to the timeless patterns of Madhubani folk art.

The smiles in our studio say it all. We foster a nurturing community where artists of all ages can find joy, build skills, and proudly share their finished work.
