About Drawing & Sketching Classes
Why I Teach Art
Art isn’t just about getting better with a pencil for me - it’s a way to chill out, express what’s inside, and sometimes just zone out from the day. I’ve been doing this for 22 years, and every learner brings something different to the table. My studio is in Koramangala, Bangalore, but you can also join online, wherever you are.
Who Shows Up Here
Honestly, there’s no one “type” - I see total newbies, busy parents, stressed-out working folks, and serious art students. If you want to figure out the basics or push yourself to do more realistic pencil sketching, you’ll find your spot.
What We Do
- Start with pencil basics and work up to advanced shading and blending
- Move into drawing realistic portraits (from photos or live models) with pencils, charcoal, or dry pastels
- Try out ink illustration classes and explore other mediums in our workshops
- I keep it hands-on, and you get personal attention no matter your pace
How Classes Work
- Regular batches if you want to build skills week by week
- Charcoal portrait workshops and focused sessions for deep-dives
- Flexible, pay-as-you-learn setup for busy lives
- Both weekday and weekend timings
Supplies & Stuff
For workshops, I usually sort out all the art materials. For regular classes, I’ll let you know exactly what you need when we chat. If you’ve got questions about supplies or want to know what fits your learning style, just reach out.

My Story
We’re Shades Creative Learning, right here in Koramangala. Started this because, honestly, everyone’s got a bit of creativity inside - some just need a nudge. Life’s fast, so we wanted a spot where you can slow down, paint, and forget the chaos for a bit. Seeing folks - from busy techies to tiny tots - smile after finishing their first piece? That’s the best part. We’re less about rules, more about letting you find your own style. It’s not just art, it’s therapy. Come, join our little tribe.
