## About Online Art Courses & Workshops

### Why I Teach Art

Art for me is not just skill, it’s a way to slow down and really feel. *Rangon se kahaniyan rachta hoon* (I craft stories with colors). Every class is about finding that quiet place in yourself where you can just let go and see where your brush takes you.

### What To Expect

- My classes are small, so I can actually see your work and guide you, not just lecture.
- We talk, we paint live together on Zoom - it's not the type of course where you just get a video and are left alone.
- Missed a class? No stress, you get access to recordings and can rewatch anytime.
- You can send me your assignments on WhatsApp and I’ll give personalized feedback - *aap kuch bhi kar sakte ho* (you can do anything).

### Course Formats

- **Complete Watercolor Course (Weekends):** Basics to advanced, step-by-step, perfect for those starting out or wanting to build a real foundation.
- **3-Month Deep Dive (Weekdays):** For those ready to really commit - we’ll go deep into expressive, story-driven portraits and more.
- **Focused 2-Day Workshops:** Want to just try out portrait painting classes for beginners or advanced figure painting? These are short, punchy, and focused.
- **1-Month Weekend Course:** Fast track, same essentials, just tighter schedule.

### Materials Needed

You don’t need fancy stuff. Just some 300 gsm watercolor paper, basic paints, 2-3 brushes, mixing palette, and a bit of water.

### The Feeling

If you’re looking for interactive art workshops online that actually feel like a real studio, not a lecture, you’ll probably vibe with what I do. Real feedback, real community, real painting.

[Uday Bhan](https://mytribe.in/uday_bhan_official)

### My story

Every brushstroke, ek kahani hai (is a story). Rangon se kahaniyan rachta hoon - I don’t just paint, I let the colors speak. When I paint Mahadev or Krishna, it’s not planned, it’s just me, surrendering, letting the art happen. Faces, wrinkles, old walls, even my daughter Ishanvi - sab kuch mein kahani hai (everything has a story). My art is where I find peace, and sometimes, a little magic.

### My work

- **Commissioned Artworks**: I create custom watercolor, graphite, and oil paintings - from spiritual figures to daily life scenes.
- **Portraits with Soul**: My portraits capture emotions, stories, and the real depth in every face. I love painting people.
- **Spiritual & Everyday Scenes**: Shree Ram, Krishna, Shiva, or simple moments - I paint what moves me, with realism and feeling.
- **Online Watercolor Courses**: Join my live workshops - beginner watercolor course, advanced realistic watercolor workshop, all with personal guidance.
