Online Painting Classes for Kids in Vancouver
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.
Greater Vancouver has one of the oldest South Asian communities in North America, with a large Punjabi Sikh population centred in Surrey and a significant Indo-Fijian community whose families came via Fiji. Hindu families here are a smaller part of a very large South Asian whole, and parents often tell us the shloka and Gita side is the thing hardest to find locally.

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 PT. Saturday and Sunday mornings Pacific and weekday 6:00 to 7:30 PM Pacific, which is the Indian early morning.
“My daughter used to freeze on stage. After a few months of public speaking classes, she confidently delivered a speech at her school assembly. The mentors are patient and truly gifted.”
Online Painting Classes for Kids in Vancouver, FAQs
For the first class, 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.
