Our Studio: A Space for Calm & Creativity
Welcome to our peaceful Jayanagar studio, a place we call our 'Fine Arts Gurukul'. We've designed it to be a sanctuary from the daily rush, where you can find your 'sukoon' (calm) and focus on the simple joy of creating, whether you're sketching, painting, or just learning to see the world as an artist.
The Foundation of Drawing
We believe every great artwork starts with a strong foundation. Our beginner courses focus on the essentials of pencil and charcoal sketching, including perspective, light and shadow, and confident strokes, with no shortcuts.

For those ready to take on a deeper challenge, our portrait and anatomy courses guide you from understanding skull structure to capturing lifelike expressions. We cover everything from head studies and feature placement to character design and figure drawing over several months of dedicated practice.
The World in Color: Painting, Pastels & Pencils
Ready to move beyond black and white? We offer focused courses in watercolor, acrylics, colored pencils, and pastels. We start with color theory and blending, then move on to florals, landscapes, and portraits, helping you build skill and confidence with every hue.

Sketching in the Wild: Outdoor Sessions
We were the first to bring outdoor art workshops to Bangalore, and it’s a tradition we cherish. On Sundays, we often head to places like Cubbon Park for plein air sketching, capturing life and landscapes as they happen. This is where our name, Pencil & Chai, was born.
