Online Painting Classes for Kids in Ireland
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.
Ireland’s Indian community has grown quickly over the last two decades, carried largely by doctors and nurses in the health service — many of them from Kerala — and by engineers in Dublin’s tech sector. Most of these families are the first generation abroad, which means the grandparent who would once have taught shlokas is usually a video call away rather than down the hall.
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 Ireland
Live classes on GMT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Ireland keeps UK time, so the same after-school weekday window works here: 4:30 to 6:30 PM Irish time, which is 9:00 to 11:00 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer. Saturday morning batches run too. Families working hospital shifts can move between batches week to week.
Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick are where most Indian families in Ireland live. Irish families usually sit in the same batches as UK children, since the clock is identical.
What your child walks away able to do
Mixing an intended colour deliberately rather than by luck
Controlled watercolour washes and clean layering
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. 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. Ireland keeps UK time, so the same after-school weekday window works here: 4:30 to 6:30 PM Irish time, which is 9:00 to 11:00 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer.
“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.”

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.
