## About Painting Classes & Tutoring

### Why I Teach Art

I’m Rattan, a self-taught artist who knows that feeling of “maybe I’m not good enough.” My workshops are my little escape from all that. I want you to feel what I feel when I paint - just joy, no pressure. It’s not about perfect lines or fancy degrees. It’s about having fun and, honestly, making a bit of a mess sometimes.

### What I Offer

- I do a mix of in-person and online art lessons for beginners. Join me at some cool Bangalore cafes for guided sip and paint events, or hop onto Google Meet from your home.
- Themed painting workshops are my jam: from pop culture and album art party nights (yes, friendship bracelets and all) to painting “Starry Night” together, to getting artsy on tote bags, plates, and more.
- I also host private parties - birthdays, team events, art dates with your sajni (sweetheart) or thangakudams (treasures). We can even turn your travel photos into a memory on canvas.

### How My Classes Feel

- No need to know anything - most people who come in say “I can’t even draw a straight line.” Perfect. You’re my people.
- 100% judgment-free. We start with icebreakers, play good music, and everyone’s art looks different, which is the point.
- You’ll actually learn stuff: basic acrylic and watercolor techniques, color mixing (no more moye moye results), textures, and how to fix things when they go wrong.

### What’s Included

- All art supplies (canvas, paints, brushes, everything). Just show up.
- You take home whatever you create.
- At Sip & Paint, you’ll get a free drink or food coupon too.

Let’s get you painting, no matter your vibe.

## Meet your expert

[Rattan](https://mytribe.in/the.purple.splash)

### My story

Hey, I’m Rattan! I’m that overthinker, self-taught artist in Bangalore who’s still figuring out the imposter syndrome thing. If you’re a creative soul with a messy heart, you get me. Every painting I do is a little piece of me, not just a job. I live for that moment when someone finally gets their art after months of waiting and just lights up. Also, hardcore Swiftie, if that tells you anything. Art’s for everyone, trust me.

### My work

- **What I do**: Custom portraits (people, pets), Sip & Paint Bangalore events, themed art parties, mindful art workshops, and acrylic/watercolour classes.
- **Custom Portraits**: I turn your memories into art—weddings, pets, anything—mostly with acrylics on any canvas shape you like.
- **Workshops & Parties**: Beginner-friendly art classes and parties, lots of silly warm-ups, no pressure, just painting for fun.
- **How it works**: For commissions, there’s usually a waitlist. We’ll chat, tweak things, and I’ll pour my heart into every layer.
