Master Painting with My Online Art Courses
Can't join me in Bangalore? No worries. My live online sessions are just as chill, super beginner-friendly, and designed to help you paint from the comfort of home.
Here are 6 common mistakes beginners make in watercolors, and how to fix them. My online courses are designed to help you understand the 'why' behind the techniques, not just the 'how'.
An announcement for my 5 day live online course on Watercolor Basics. These are small batch courses so I can give personal guidance to each student as they learn and grow.
Here’s the syllabus for my watercolor basics course. We cover everything from materials and color theory to composition and completing three full painting projects together.
My goal is for you to feel confident and inspired by the end of the course. I want you to let go of perfectionism and just enjoy the process of painting with watercolors.
Some FAQs about my online courses. They are a mix of live classes and pre recorded videos, with a community group for feedback and doubt solving.
This course gives you everything you need to start or upskill your watercolor journey. I share all the tips and tricks I've learned as a self taught artist.
Ever wondered about the difference between watercolors and acrylics? This video breaks down three major shifts in mindset and technique when moving between these two mediums.
Let's talk about toning a canvas. This video explains why applying a thin layer of a color like burnt sienna before you start painting can add richness and unity to your acrylic work.
Canvas prep 101. Here I explain what gesso is and why priming your canvas is important for getting vibrant colors and a smooth surface to paint on. It's like makeup primer for your art.
The number one mistake I see beginner watercolor artists make is blindly copying a tutorial without understanding water control. It's so important to pay attention to how wet your own paper is.
About Learn With Me: Online Tutorials & Courses
Most people show up to my classes thinking they can't draw a straight line, but that's exactly why I love teaching beginners. My online sessions aren't just about watching a screen. They are live, interactive spaces where we actually fix common mistakes—like water control in watercolors or color mixing—in real-time, so you walk away with a painting you are genuinely proud of, not just a messy canvas.
I know how frustrating it feels to watch a video tutorial on YouTube, try to follow along, and end up with something that looks nothing like the result. That's why my online courses are different.
Why my classes are different
- Small, Human-Sized Batches: I keep groups small because I want to actually see what you are doing and give you feedback, not just talk at a camera. You get to ask 'why is my paint doing that?' and we fix it together.
- No Perfectionism Allowed: We are here to learn and have fun. If you spill paint or your line goes wonky, that's part of the vibe. I teach techniques like toning a canvas and basic color theory so you understand the logic, but the goal is to enjoy the process.
- Live & Interactive: We use Google Meet to connect, meaning you get to see my setup, and I get to see yours. It is a casual, judgement-free zone where we play good music, chat, and learn.
Whether we are tackling watercolor basics, acrylic techniques, or doing a fun themed workshop, you don't need a fancy studio. You just need your materials, a laptop, and a willingness to make a bit of a mess. Check out my upcoming batches—I would love to help you get started.
