Passing on what I learnt from my Guruvarya (my father and Padma Shri Vasudevji Kamath) is sacred for me, and I try to bring the same level of dedication to every student. ### Real Mentorship, Real Growth My style is all about that Guru-Shishya (teacher-student) bond. I give you personal art mentorship, not just instructions. Your voice matters, and I’ll help you find it - whether you’re in Grade 5 or finishing your MFA. ### The Inside Scoop for Competitions Since I’ve judged at state, national, and international art competitions (like Rang De India and Malaysia International Online Juried Art Competition), I know what the judges actually want. I offer direct art competition guidance, so you can make work that stands out and tells your story. My students have bagged district-level wins and special prizes - but it’s not just about trophies, it’s about growth. ### Hands-On Learning for All Ages I run creative art workshops for school kids, college students, even other teachers. I get invited as a Special Guide to conduct hands-on sessions in schools, and my live demos are popular for showing the real process. ### What to Expect We work together, step by step. I give focused feedback, live demonstrations, and honest advice. You’ll get the support - and the push - to create your best art. If you’re serious about learning, I’m here for you. ## Highlights Browse through Rajesh Sawant's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/rajeshbsawant/art-education-mentorship/featured) - ![This was a golden moment for me and my family, receiving the State's Best Art Teacher award.

My Nana and my Guruvarya shaped how I see art, but my heart beats for my mom. She’s the reason I am who I am – I miss her every day. I paint to keep our aitihasik sanskriti (historical culture) alive, with portraits of Shivaji Maharaj, Prabhu Ram, and freedom fighters. Winning awards abroad is nice, but nothing beats the pride I feel as a kaladhyapak (art teacher) in Nashik, when my students shine. ### My work - **Fine Art & Painting**: I paint with oil, acrylic, watercolor, even chalk. Subjects? History, culture, serene landscapes, spiritual themes. - **Historical & Cultural Art**: My art preserves our heritage, especially with realistic portraits of Indian freedom fighters and icons like Shivaji Maharaj. - **Art Teacher & Guide**: Teaching art is my soul work. I guide students for competitions, organize creative events, and celebrate their success. - **Live Demos & Workshops**: I do live painting demonstration in Nashik and beyond, sharing acrylic landscape painting techniques at workshops and lectures. ## More services from Rajesh Sawant - [Live Art, Workshops & Speaking](https://mytribe.in/rajeshbsawant/live-art-workshops-speaking) · ₹15K-1.5L per event/session (estimate) - [Custom Fine Art & Paintings](https://mytribe.in/rajeshbsawant/custom-fine-art-paintings) · ₹8K-2L per painting (estimate) ## Book To book Rajesh Sawant, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Art%20Education%20%26%20Mentorship%20by%20Rajesh%20Sawant.)
