LEARN THE ART OF MAKING ART

WATER COLOR

Seeing Colours Express Themselves The Moment They Come In Contact With Textured Paper Is Sheer Magic! After Years Of Using Watercolour, The Excitement I Derive Is Just The Same As Day One. Such Is The Beauty Of Watercolour – It Is Exquisite. The Detailing One Can Achieve With This Medium Is Matchless.

Once One Has Mastered It, Watercolour Allows Itself To Be Tamed. The Vibrancy, The Granular Nature, And The Unpredictability Hold The Key To The Beauty Of Watercolour As A Medium. Achieving This Requires Keen Attention To Technique And Use Of The Right Materials. I Encourage Anyone And Everyone To Experience What I Have – An Ever-Growing Love Story With Watercolour.

GRAPHITE

Less Paraphernalia, Great Detailing, Ease Of Corrections, And Faster Completion Keep Me Hooked To This Medium! Graphite And Watercolour Work On The Same Principles Of Going From Light To Dark And Saving Whites.

This Similarity Worked To My Advantage In Getting The Best Out Of Watercolour. The Monochrome Medium Of Graphite Is Hassle-Free And Is The Most Preferred Medium For Travel Sketches As Well As Conceptual Work Amongst The Creative Community.

The Foundational Skills Of Sketching, Drawing, And Shading Are The Best Learned Using Graphite.

COLOR PENCIL

Ease Of Use, Great Detailing, Softer Look, And Faster Completion Are Characteristic Features Of Color Pencil.Graphite And Colour Pencil Work On The Same Principles Of Going From Light To Dark And Saving Whites.

This Medium Allows Us To Explore Depth By Using The Multiple Layer Technique.Shading By Blending In This Medium Allows For The Softness Of Varying Degrees. The Use Of Colour Pencil Can Help With A Gradual Transition From Graphite To Watercolour. Having Said This, Colour Pencil In Itself Is A Complete Medium Owing To The Presence Of Colours; Many Artists Around The Globe Prefer To Work Only With This Medium.

Pen & ink

My Mother’s Love For Art And Passion For Life Has Been My Constant Source Of Inspiration. I Grew Up Seeing Her Sketch Stunning Portraitures; One Of The Major Reasons For My Pull Towards The Subject And Also My Skill For The Same. Studio A Is In Tribute To Her And Portraiture Always Keeps Me Connected To Her Memories.

I Also Look Up To Mr. Javed Hussain, A Senior Watercolor Artist. He Encouraged And Guided Me In The Initial Days Of My Journey With The Medium.

I Am Greatly Inspired By The Watercolor Works Of Steve Hanks, Marcos Beccari, Alvaro Castagnet And Meeta Dani, A Dear Friend.

Art for me was a casual pass time. Not even a hobby until I took your course recently ! Being untutored for many years, I realised what I was missing out without learning the basic art fundamentals , principles and finer aspects which are so essential for any artist to know. The integrity and desire to share your skills, comes accross clearly in your teaching which is a blessing for any student who would want to improve their art or career in art. Each class is a new learning experience filled with fun , inspiration and much needed guidance from your side. Your expertise on the subject is clearly visible from your excellent artworks as well as your art courses. From your course I have learnt to give hundred percent to not just art but to everything in life in general to achieve the goal ! Wishing that more and more students benefit from your teaching. Much success to you !

I always had a great passion for artwork...I love to play with different mediums...I love to try something new each time... but for a brief period of time I had a stop. Fire was there but without motive. As it is rightly said there is no point in traversing a path without knowing the destination. And unless one has complete knowledge about the path he is traversing ,he cannot reach the destination with ease. Thank u Amrita Gandhi maam for making me visualize my destination and guiding me through it.Planning to take my art passion to its pinnacle.

Hi Dr. Amrita, A big thanks to you for your online sketching session that I could attend living in Australia and making good use of this quarantine ! 🤗 I have always loved sketching and was a little confident with cartoons and animals, but I never thought I could shade the drawings to make it look realistic. Through your classes I could understand the physics behind the art and appreciated it not just as a hobby but as science. Understanding the science behind it helped me improve my sketches tremendously and gave me confidence to shade and try out realistic drawing. I was surprised to know that technique makes drawings much simpler rather than how difficult it looks. Now instead of being afraid of shading, I take it as a challenge to make it look as real as possible ! 💪 I could not have done this without your motivation and constant support to improve my art skills 🙏
