Renuka's Art Zone

We offer art classes and workshops for all ages across 50+ art forms, from painting to exam preparation. Our teaching style is direct and hands-on, focusing on building strong fundamentals in a fun, supportive environment.

We believe art isn't confined to four walls. Here, our drawing grade exam students are taking their skills outdoors for a live sketching session, learning to capture the world around them. This is learning in action.

It's an incredible moment of pride for us and our student. This is the result of our portrait sketching course, where this talented 13 year old artist brought his own self portrait to life with pencil and paper.

Focus and dedication in our Vashi studio. A student from our elementary exam batch is practicing metal painting techniques, learning how to render light and reflection on a curved surface to make the object look three dimensional.

Look at that proud smile. One of our youngest artists shows off her work from a foundational drawing class where she learned about color, shape, and composition by painting simple objects like mugs.

For over 26 years, we have been a home for creativity. This collage captures the variety of what we do, from kids' classes and adult workshops to specialized art forms, all celebrating the artistic journey of our students.

We love hearing from our students. This testimonial comes from a student who has been with us since the 6th grade, highlighting our friendly teaching style and the wide variety of courses we offer.

We teach drawing and sketching step-by-step in small groups, starting from basics to live sketching, for all ages and levels at our Vashi studio or online.

A key part of the exam syllabus is live sketching. We take our students outdoors to practice capturing human figures in motion, helping them build confidence and speed for their drawing exams.

This is a fantastic example of a steel object study by one of our elementary exam students. We teach specific techniques to capture the difficult reflections and tones of metallic surfaces, a crucial skill for still life painting.

Nothing makes us happier than seeing a student proud of their progress. Here, a student from our elementary batch shows off her beautifully rendered metal pot, mastering light and shadow.

We believe in drawing from life. Here, a student practices observational drawing by painting a sliced tomato, learning to see and replicate colors, textures, and shapes accurately.

Art has its fundamentals. In our classes, students learn the principles of tonal studies and composition, creating value scales to understand how to use light and dark effectively in their drawings.

Here is one of our dedicated students proudly displaying her finished Kerala mural. It's so rewarding to watch our adult students master this traditional art form with such focus and passion.

The beauty of Kerala mural painting is in the details. Here, a student carefully applies color, bringing a traditional deity to life, with a completed masterpiece inspiring her in the background.

This stunning mixed-media canvas was created in just a one-day workshop. We love helping students explore different materials like decoupage and texture paste to create unique, personal art pieces.

A proud smile and a finished piece. This student from our elementary exam batch perfectly captured the metallic sheen of a brass pot using poster colors, a key skill for their still life studies.

In our fabric painting workshops, you learn to transform simple cloth into wearable art. This student is using the one-stroke technique to paint delicate flowers, adding life to the fabric with every brushstroke.

One of our favorite projects is helping you create wearable art. This hand-painted saree was brought to life in our fabric painting class, showing how you can turn a simple piece of cloth into a personal masterpiece.

The best part of our workshops is the community. Here's a wonderful group from our World Art Day session, proudly showing off the unique tote bags they designed and printed themselves.

We love seeing our students get lost in the creative process. This is a quiet moment from a fabric painting session, focusing on adding delicate details to a floral design. No experience is needed, just a willingness to try.

Here is a beautiful example of what you can create and take home from our block printing workshop. This tote bag, with its vibrant floral pattern, is ready to be used and shown off.

Our workshops are for everyone, and we especially love hosting sessions for young artists. Look at the amazing sunset-themed tote bags these kids created during a special Children's Day event.
