We teach Tanjore painting, Acrylic and Oil painting classes at CHAYA. Beginners are also welcome. Age: 10 yrs upwards. The classes are taught one on one (max 2 to a class). It is taught at our gallery itself, by a professional artiste & will be conducted during our gallery hours only. An 8x10 picture is taught in class and we provide all the materials for the picture. You can choose 1 from the sketches to do in class : ganesha / annam / elephant / lakshmi / andal / krishna. We do NOT DO other sketches during the class.
To know more about the sketches used for the classes, pls see the link below:

The classes are one to one only and max of 2 students only. We do not do group classes.
Tanjore Painting:
Course fee includes: All the materials (for an 8x10 inch painting) + Artists fees (for total of 8 hours) = 7000/-. This is payable on or before the first class.Kindly note all class payments will need to be made on or before the 1st class. We accept only online or cash payments. We do not accept credit / debit cards. Please see our payments link for more information.
The class timings will be: Class 1- 2.5 to 3 hours , Class 2- 2.5 to 3 hours and Class 3- 2 to 3 hours.
This is to ensure that the class time is used most efficiently. The course work overall should be finished within 10 working days. The class includes a prepared board & as time is limited, only the work pertaining to this painting will be done in these classes. We encourage students, to space their classes so they have time in between the sessions to complete homework. We encourage the students to do more homework so they can be better prepared to do their own painting later.
We also do weekend only sessions for those who can’t come during the week.
We request the students to keep time and also stick to the same timing for the duration of the course. For any change of class timing, kindly send a msg to either Mrs. Champa or Ms. Sowmya so we can coordinate the same. If the student is not able to make it for class, kindly inform at least 2 hours before so we can inform the Artist. For any last minute cancellations or if the student does not inform ahead and if the artist shows up, we would be charging Rs.200 to pay for artist transportation charges.
The student will be given a certificate of completion from CHAYA after the final class. CHAYA shares the photo of the student holding the certificate on our CHAYA FB page. However if the student is not willing to share on FB, we will respect that.
The picture you make will need to be framed. If you would like us to frame it, the framing charges will be actuals depending on the type of frame chosen. We usually recommend a chettinad straight frame +acrylic (not glass).
We can also teach other size paintings however the charges/ time taken for class will vary. We recommend students go with the 8x10 inch size first and thereafter other larger sizes. Any extra work (such as learning how to do other faces/ other sketching), can certainly be taught outside of these sessions and which will be Rs. 600/1.5 hours.
