Online Painting Classes for Kids in Abu Dhabi
Painting classes where colour is taught as a craft
Painting is where most children’s art goes wrong, because nobody teaches them what colour actually does. They are handed a set and told to fill in. This class starts at the wheel: what mixes, what turns muddy, why a wash behaves differently from a flat fill, and how to layer without losing the drawing underneath.

Painting classes where colour is taught as a craft
Painting is not colouring in a finished outline. We spend the first weeks on the drawing beneath the paint, because a well-painted bad drawing is still a bad drawing. Children who arrive able to fill in neatly usually find this the hardest and most useful adjustment.
Abu Dhabi changed in 2024, when the BAPS Hindu Mandir at Abu Mureikha opened as the first traditional stone Hindu temple in the region. For families who had long practised entirely at home, a public temple has made questions about the meaning of what is chanted there far more frequent.
Wash, wet-on-wet and layering technique, not flat filling
The drawing under the paint taken seriously first
Traditional Indian palettes alongside the standard wheel
Finished paintings, not exercises, from the first term
Batch timings for Abu Dhabi
Live classes on GST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Abu Dhabi is an hour and a half behind India, so weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST is the Indian evening. Weekend batches follow the UAE’s Saturday and Sunday weekend.
Abu Dhabi is, after Dubai, where most of our UAE families are.
What your child walks away able to do
Mixing an intended colour deliberately rather than by luck

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 painting 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 GST. Abu Dhabi is an hour and a half behind India, so weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST is the Indian evening.
“The storytelling program transformed my shy son. Last month he confidently narrated a Panchatantra tale at his school assembly. The mentors are patient, warm and world-class.”

For the first class, whatever you already own. After that a basic poster colour set and a small watercolour box cover the first two terms; we send the exact list and there is no need to buy expensive materials for a child who is still learning to mix.
