Featured Art Workshops and Creative Sessions
Step-by-step guidance in a judgment-free zone. Come for the art, stay for the good vibes, and take home a masterpiece that is 100% you. ✨
This is my favorite part of every workshop. Seeing people who start out saying "I can't even draw a stick figure" leave with a masterpiece they created themselves is just the best feeling. It’s all about having fun and surprising yourself.
Here’s the vibe at one of my August Sip and Paint events at Hard Rock Cafe. I love that everyone gets to paint something unique to them, not just copy one painting. You bring the idea, and I’ll help you bring it to life on canvas.
How cute is this. I host private art dates for couples, friends, or family. We turned their travel photo from Egypt into this amazing two-canvas painting. It’s such a fun way to create a shared memory together.
Want a quick art lesson? Here’s a mini tutorial on how I paint ocean waves using acrylics. I break down techniques like this in my classes, showing you how to mix colors and use simple brushstrokes to create something beautiful.
I had the absolute best time hosting this craft session for kids. We made characters by cutting and pasting colored paper. Their creativity is just chef's kiss. I host private art parties for birthdays and other events too.
Ngl, painting portraits can feel intimidating, but it's all about understanding the fundamentals. In this video, I share some core concepts like color theory and understanding light and shadow that I teach in my online masterclasses.
Who says you need a canvas? I found this broken mirror and just had to make it aesthetic. This is what my classes are about: finding joy and creativity anywhere, and not being afraid to play with different surfaces.
Just look at these happy faces and their incredible paintings. This is what my workshops are all about: a judgment-free zone to relax, learn a few things, and leave with a piece of art that is 100% you.
About Featured
You'll often hear people walk into my studio or a cafe event saying they 'can't even draw a straight line.' That’s my favorite part because it means we’re about to have the best time. My workshops aren't about mimicking a perfect reference photo; they’re about getting messy, laughing through the mistakes, and realizing that art is just about having a little fun with yourself. 🫶🏼
I run these workshops because I know how intimidating the blank canvas feels. Whether we are painting at a cafe in Whitefield or jumping on a Google Meet for a technique deep dive, the goal is the same: letting go of the need for perfection.
My 'Sip and Paint' events in Bangalore are basically mini-parties. You get a drink, good music, and a canvas to do whatever you want with. I’m there to help you mix colors, fix the 'moye moye' moments, and guide your brushstrokes, but the creative choices are always yours. From Taylor Swift-themed nights—where friendship bracelets are a must—to quiet, private date nights, I love creating spaces where you can just be yourself. If you can’t make it in person, I also hold online technical masterclasses where we cover color theory, light, and shadow so you can get confident at home with your own supplies. We keep it real, we keep it messy, and we definitely make sure you leave with something you’re proud to hang on your wall.

Hey, I’m Rattan! I’m that self-taught artist in Bangalore who’s always fighting imposter syndrome. Every painting is a little piece of me, and I live for those moments when you finish a session and realize you’ve created something you love.
