For me, it’s about how you think and see the world. My studio is a space where you can experiment, mess up, and find your own style. Mistakes? Arre, woh toh idea ka mood change ho gaya (Hey, that’s just an idea changing its mind). Sometimes you’ll ruin your work, and that’s totally fine. The messy bits are where the real magic happens. ### Who Usually Joins Us Adults come to me for all sorts of reasons: - You feel it’s “too late” to start art - You’ve watched online tutorials but can’t finish a painting - You’re a creative professional feeling stuck - You just want a fun, supportive place to destress ### How We Learn I keep groups small so you get real feedback and a lively vibe. We move from step-by-step copying to trusting your own instincts. You can pick: - Foundation Fine Art Course for basics and creative thinking - Medium-specific courses like Watercolors, Oils, Acrylics & Mixed Media - Themed workshops - Portraits, Landscapes, Abstract art lessons for adults, Color Theory - Guided studio sessions for your own projects ### Beyond the Studio We’re not just about classes. We visit galleries and museums, sketch together, and talk about art. Every year, we hold a student art show at a professional gallery. Seeing your work on those walls? Bas, dil khush ho gaya (That’s it, my heart feels full). This is your space to grow, be challenged, and rediscover yourself. ## Highlights Browse through Purnima Sampat's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/theartstudiomumbai/art-classes-for-adults/featured) - [Video: This studio is a happy place, a space that fills your cup.

I started this studio because copying pictures felt boring. Art’s about what’s in your head, how you see things. Like Manya—she mixed cyanotype printing and rock dogra, and boom, RISD scholarship. It’s not just me here; Kuldeep, Satendra, Lubaina, we’re a weird, happy family. Every year, ‘Re-Imagine’ shows everyone’s process, not just pretty stuff. This place? My happy spot, where ideas and people find themselves again. ### My work - **Art Classes & Workshops**: We run art workshops for kids, teens, adults - fashion, graphic design, product design, and more. - **Creative Portfolio Building**: We help students prep portfolios for design schools like RISD, Parsons, NID, with real art school vibes. - **Art Process Workshops**: Forget copying. We push you to think, create, and find your own artistic voice. - **Adult Art Foundation Course**: Missed art school? Our course lets adults rediscover art, step out of comfort zones, and just be happy. - **Art Studio Community**: Our studio is messy, lively, and cozy. It’s more than a class—it’s a creative home. ## More services from Purnima Sampat - [Corporate Art Workshops](https://mytribe.in/theartstudiomumbai/corporate-art-workshops) · ₹1,000-3,000 per participant per session (estimate) - [Portfolio Preparation for Design Colleges](https://mytribe.in/theartstudiomumbai/portfolio-preparation-for-design-colleges) · ₹9-18K per 1-week intensive (estimate) - [Art Classes for Kids & Teens](https://mytribe.in/theartstudiomumbai/art-classes-for-kids-teens) · ₹500-1,200 per session (estimate) ## Book To book Purnima Sampat, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Art%20Classes%20for%20Adults%20by%20Purnima%20Sampat.)
