Online Painting Classes for Kids in Birmingham
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.
Birmingham has one of Britain’s largest South Asian populations, with Hindu, Sikh and Gujarati communities that go back to the 1950s and 60s, and the Sri Venkateswara Balaji temple at Tividale nearby. Many families here are second or third generation, and the request is often for a grandchild to learn what a grandparent never formally taught.

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 GMT/BST. Weekday 4:30 to 7:00 PM UK after school, and Saturday mornings, shared with our London and Leicester batches..
“The Ramayana classes are the highlight of my daughter’s week. She now teaches us the values she learns. As NRI parents in Dubai, this connection to our culture is priceless.”
Online Painting Classes for Kids in Birmingham, FAQs
Drawing is pencil, line, proportion and shading. Painting is colour, medium and wash, and it assumes some drawing skill, which is why we spend the first weeks on the construction lines under the paint.
