Online Drawing Classes for Kids in London
Drawing classes that start with learning to look
Children do not draw what is in front of them, they draw what they believe is in front of them — a symbol for an eye, a symbol for a hand. Teaching drawing means interrupting that. We work on looking before technique: measuring by eye, noticing the shape of the gap between two things, and drawing the line that is actually there.

Drawing classes that start with learning to look
This is the class for a child who wants to get genuinely good, and it is more demanding than a craft hour. There is repetition in it. There are weeks of shading a single sphere. What comes out the other side is a child who can draw anything in front of them, which is a different thing from a child with a folder of nice pictures.
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.
Proportion and measuring by eye, not by grid tracing
One and two-point perspective, taught properly
Light and shade, from a single sphere up to a full still life
Figures and faces built on construction, not on formulas
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 an unfamiliar object accurately from observation
Convincing light, shade and form
Perspective that holds together in a full scene

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 drawing 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.”
