About this collection
We keep our batch sizes small, typically between 4 and 8 students, so you get direct, hands-on guidance on your piece. Whether you are struggling with shading techniques in charcoal or just learning to mix colors on your palette, you get one-on-one attention rather than just watching a demonstration from afar.
Art is a personal journey, and our studio is designed to be a place where you can slow down and express yourself without the pressure of strict rules. With over two decades of training experience, we have found that the best way to learn is by doing.
Our Approach
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all instruction. If you are a complete beginner, we start with the basics—grip, stroke pressure, and perspective—to help you build a solid foundation. If you are an experienced artist looking to refine your technique, we offer deep-dives into mediums like charcoal portraiture, ink illustration, and oil painting.
Flexibility for Your Schedule
We know life in Bangalore gets busy. That is why we offer both regular monthly courses for those who want to build skills week by week, and flexible, pay-as-you-learn sessions for those with changing schedules. You can join us in our Koramangala studio for a fully immersive experience, or opt for our online sessions if you prefer to learn from home.
Materials Included
For all our workshops, we provide the supplies. From high-grain cartridge paper to professional-grade charcoal, ink, and fixatives, we have it covered. You just bring your enthusiasm. For regular courses, we will guide you on what to bring so you have the right tools for your home practice.
Whether you are a busy professional looking for an outlet or a parent searching for a constructive activity for your child, our door is open. Come join our tribe and see what you can create.
