Online Painting Classes for Kids in Dubai
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.
Dubai is an hour and a half behind India and has one of the largest concentrated Indian communities anywhere in the world, so most families here already have plenty of cultural life. What they usually want from us is instruction — correct pronunciation, actual meaning, structured progress — rather than exposure.
Colour mixing taught properly, including what goes muddy and why
Four media compared: crayon, oil pastel, poster colour, watercolour
Wash, wet-on-wet and layering technique, not flat filling
The drawing under the paint taken seriously first
Batch timings for Dubai
Live classes on GST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST works comfortably for both sides, and weekend batches run on Saturday and Sunday, the UAE weekend since 2022, with Friday afternoon slots for families whose working week ends at Friday lunch.
Families join from Bur Dubai, Karama, Al Barsha, Discovery Gardens and Dubai Silicon Oasis, and a fair number attend Indian curriculum schools where Sanskrit is offered but not taught in depth.
What your child walks away able to do
Mixing an intended colour deliberately rather than by luck
Controlled watercolour washes and clean layering
A sense of which medium suits which subject

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. Weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST works comfortably for both sides, and weekend batches run on Saturday and Sunday, the UAE weekend since 2022, with Friday afternoon slots for families whose working week ends at Friday lunch..
“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.”

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.
