Online Painting Classes for Kids in Kanpur
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.
Kanpur sits on the Ganga in a part of Uttar Pradesh where the Ramcharitmanas is recited at home more often than any Sanskrit text. Children here frequently know chaupais by heart already, and the Ramayana course meets them where they are rather than starting from the beginning.
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 Kanpur
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
IST batches: weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM and weekend mornings. Northern winter timings push school later in December and January, and the later evening slots suit Kanpur better then.
Classes are online, from Bengaluru, with mentors explaining in Hindi as freely as in English.
What your child walks away able to do
Controlled watercolour washes and clean layering
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 Kanpur 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.”
Online Painting Classes for Kids in Kanpur, 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.
