## About Art Workshops & Classes

I don’t see art as something fancy or unreachable. For me, it’s just about catching those little moments - the taste of bhel puri, a Mumbai sunset, or the way an old building leans over the street. My sketchbook’s my memory lane, and I want to share that with you.

### What My Workshops Feel Like

Think of my sessions as a creative adda - laidback, zero judgement, and you can be totally yourself. Whether you’ve never drawn before or you’re hunting for a creative community, there’s space for everyone. No pressure to be perfect. We’re here to have fun and see things differently.

### What We Actually Do

- Urban sketching classes: We grab our sketchbooks and wander around the city - Bandra’s old lanes, busy markets, or even a Ganpati workshop. It’s less about technique, more about soaking up the vibe and putting it on paper.
- Themed art sessions: Sometimes I pick a fun theme - like city skylines or collages - so we can try new things together in a chill, social setting.
- Back to basics: Want to crack the basics? We’ll play with light, shadow, monochrome studies, or pen and ink, breaking stuff down without any jargon.

### How I Teach

I’m a self-taught artist, so you won’t find textbook rules here. We learn by doing, by looking, and by sharing what we make. I’ll guide you, not lecture you. Everyday life is the best teacher, na? Let’s find your style, together.

## Meet your expert

[Divya Bhatia](https://mytribe.in/youknowhertoo)

### My story

Hi, I’m Divya. Mumbai’s my home, my inspiration, and sometimes, my muse for midnight sketching sprees. I find joy in sketching old Wada pav stalls, chatting with Sanjay bhaiya at the bhel puri cart, and sharing my art with the folks who make this city feel like a big family. It's the same faces, same places, and that’s what I love – little slices of happiness that never change.

### My work

- **Custom Art & Commissions**: I make portraits, custom caricature gifts, and art for special occasions. You get something personal, not generic.
- **Urban Sketching & Storytelling**: I sketch Mumbai’s streets, stalls, and people using watercolour, gouache, or digital colour. Every sketch has a story.
- **Live Sketching for Events**: Want something fun at your event? I do live sketching—quick, quirky, and always a hit.
- **Art Workshops & Classes**: Beginner art workshops for all ages. I break things down simply, so you actually enjoy learning.
- **Art Merchandise**: My art on things you use—tote bags, t-shirts, and more. Mumbai in your hands, literally.
