Online Painting Classes for Kids in Mysore

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.

Why families choose us

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.

Mysore — Mysuru — is one of the few cities in India where a parent looking for Sanskrit or Vedic chanting can still find a traditional teacher locally. Families who come to us from here have usually weighed that option, and chosen a small live batch with fixed timings over an arrangement that depends on a single person’s availability.

Timings

Batch timings for Mysore

Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.

Mysore runs on the same IST batches as Bengaluru — weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM and weekend mornings. Children from both cities sit in the same batches, and during Dasara we shift the Mysore-heavy batches rather than expect anybody to attend through it.

We are a three-hour drive away in Bengaluru, and our offline arts studio is in Jayanagar. For a Mysore family that is close enough to visit for an annual event and too far for a weekly class, which is exactly why the classes are online.

The curriculum

Online Painting Classes for Kids, module by module

What a year of online painting classes for kids actually covers, in the order we teach it.

01

The Wheel, For Real

Primaries, secondaries, complements, and the specific mixes that turn to mud. Learned by making the mistakes on purpose.

02

Four Media

Crayon, oil pastel, poster colour and watercolour, the same subject in each, so the difference is obvious.

03

The Drawing Underneath

Light construction lines and composition before any paint touches the page.

04

Wash and Layer

Wet-on-wet, graded washes, drying time and building depth without losing the drawing.

05

Indian Palettes

The earth reds, indigos and ochres of folk painting, and why those pigments were the ones available.

06

Finished Work

Complete paintings, planned and carried through, mounted for the family showcase.

Prefer a room, paper and paint on a table?

Arts & Painting is the one class we teach in person as well as online. Offline batches run at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, with the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. If Mysore is within a sensible drive, tell us and we will send the current offline batch timings.

Getting started is easy

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 trial to what they can already do.

2. Free trial with 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. Mysore runs on the same IST batches as Bengaluru — 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 Mysore, FAQs

For the trial, whatever you already own. After that a basic poster colour set and a small watercolour box cover the first two terms; we send the exact list and there is no need to buy expensive materials for a child who is still learning to mix.
