Glimpse of My Online Painting Workshop

‘Teaching is the highest form of understanding.’ 

–Aristotle

For me, teaching is not new but teaching art is an absolutely new experience. And to be honest, it was a courageous step when I decided to conduct an online painting workshop for beginners. Because painting live (and painting well when you are painting live) is something else. You have to paint slowly, making everything clear (and waiting patiently) so that newbie/aspiring artists understand and follow everything you are doing. I am glad I did that.

Teaching/helping someone learn something is a form of learning, and understanding your own knowledge and abilities. I'm thankful that some lovely, enthusiastic people joined me, enjoyed the sessions and found it helpful. I enjoyed sharing what I have learnt so far. A totally different and enthralling experience. 

I am a self-taught artist. To be honest, I was surprised when I started painting 3 years ago. Even more surprising when I found myself painting regularly because it was never on my mind (and I never thought I could do that, as I was never interested in drawing/painting, not even in school). 

For me, painting has become like writing and reading. It's kind of addictive. And buying art materials feels as exciting as buying books!

I was pleasantly surprised when I sold my first painting. And I feel so glad and content after conducting online painting workshops. It's like embarking on a new journey.
