What our students say...

“The session was brilliant. I really appreciate the level of preparation you have put for this workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and you explained a few things which are intuitive in nature but difficult to express. I am really happy with the way my paintings turned out to be. I liked the way the whole class has been structured, which made the whole experience less overwhelming.”

“Avinash has taught me some new techniques which I could use both traditionally and digitally. Learned a lot from this workshop.”

-Nikitha P.

“A Fabulous workshop by two very down-to-earth instructors. Learned a lot of fundamentals and a new perspective on art through Avinash's eyes. Values are beautifully explained. A step-by-step approach, how to see and observe values for colour. Avinash writes down all the points to remember - like a key on how to proceed which really helped. Overall the experience was great.”
