You can book a single drop-in session to experiment with mediums like charcoal, fluid art, or coffee painting without committing to a full course. All materials are provided at our Vile Parle studio, so you just need to bring yourself and an open mind. My approach is always about the journey, never the destination. Whether it is the bold, raised texture of impasto or the subtle, translucent flow of watercolors, every medium tells a different story. In my studio, we explore everything from basic sketching and acrylics to traditional crafts like Lippan art. For beginners, I recommend starting with our 10-day intensive course. It introduces 10 different mediums, helping you identify which one truly clicks for you. If you are seeking more depth, we offer 3-month courses focusing on specialized techniques like charcoal hyper-realism or portraiture. It is never about reaching a final product or making the perfect piece. It is about the 'khushi' (happiness) of creating. My batches are kept small, ensuring I can sit with you to troubleshoot your process, whether you are struggling with a palette knife or just learning to blend watercolors. We create a space where you can laugh at your mistakes and celebrate your progress. Come by for a session, and let's find what feels like 'apna' (your own) style. You do not need experience, just the willingness to start. ## About Shefali Raj I am Shefali. Art is a language that everyone speaks differently, and I am just here to help you find your accent.
