Online Art Classes for Kids in London
Art classes that teach technique and India’s own traditions
Most children’s art classes are one of two things: a craft hour where everyone makes the same thing, or a Western fundamentals course that treats Indian art as a decorative afterthought. We teach both halves properly. Observation, line, proportion and colour as real technique, and Warli, Madhubani, Rangoli and Kalamkari as real disciplines with their own rules.

Art classes that teach technique and India’s own traditions
The test of an art class is whether a child improves at drawing, not whether they come away with something fridge-worthy. Mentors work on grip, proportion and observation from the first class, and because batches are small they can see each child’s page on screen and correct it while the pencil is still moving.
London is our largest catchment in the UK and the easiest timezone abroad for us to teach into — the Indian evening is the London afternoon, so a weekday class after school genuinely works here in a way it does not in California.

Batch timings for London
Live classes on GMT/BST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 4:30 to 7:00 PM UK, straight after school, plus Saturday mornings. British Summer Time shifts the offset by an hour twice a year and we adjust the batch rather than asking families to.
Harrow, Wembley, Croydon, Slough, Hounslow and Ilford are where we hear from most. Many London parents already send a child to a weekend cultural class and come to us specifically for the Sanskrit pronunciation work.
What your child walks away able to do
Drawing from observation with correct proportion
Confident use of pencil, pastel, poster colour and watercolour
Fluency in Warli, Madhubani, Rangoli and Kalamkari

Arts & Painting runs in person at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, and, like every class of ours, at our HSR Layout centre, 243, 16th Main Road, Sector 3, HSR Layout, Bengaluru 560102. Both use the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. Families outside Bengaluru take the online batches, which cover the identical curriculum.
Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For online art classes for kids that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for GMT/BST. Weekday 4:30 to 7:00 PM UK, straight after school, plus Saturday mornings.
“Timezone was our biggest worry. Smriti Samskara made it effortless, the Mahabharata class fits perfectly into our London evenings, and the storytelling quality is simply exceptional.”
Online Art Classes for Kids in London, FAQs
No, and that is the difference between an art class and a craft hour. Children work on their own page from their own observation, and the mentor corrects each one individually.
