Online Painting Classes for Kids in Dehradun
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.
Dehradun is a boarding-school town, and a fair number of the parents who would write to us from here are deciding whether a cultural class can survive term time at all. With Haridwar and Rishikesh an hour away, the tradition is close by; regular, structured instruction for a child is the harder thing to find.
Colour mixing taught properly, including what goes muddy and why
The drawing under the paint taken seriously first

Batch timings for Dehradun
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
IST batches: weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM and weekend mornings. Hill-station winters move school timings, and the later slots usually work better from November.
Online only, from Bengaluru. Day-scholar families are the ones for whom a weekly class is realistic, and we say so plainly.
What your child walks away able to do
Mixing an intended colour deliberately rather than by luck
A sense of which medium suits which subject
Completed paintings the child is genuinely pleased with

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. If Dehradun is within a sensible drive, tell us and we will send the current offline batch timings.
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 IST. IST batches: weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM and weekend mornings.
“My son now begins every day with his shlokas, chanting them perfectly, and actually understanding what they mean. What moved me most is how much calmer and more focused he has become.”

Both, in that order. Exercises for the first few weeks, because mixing has to be learned somewhere, then complete paintings from the first term onward with something finished for the family showcase.
