CLASSES FOR OIL PAINTING (New!)
On popular demand Sandhya is opening her Studio to Ladies keen on learning oil painting. The course is designed to suit beginners and advanced learners. The focus of the classes will be on painting alla prima but will draw also from traditional methods to strengthen drawing and composition skills and explore the techniques of old masters.
Classes begin on 11 September, Tuesday. Medium of instruction is English but for those speaking French the course will work just as well.
As those already painting with Sandhya informally will continue the course, the seats available are limited. Working women are encouraged to join the Saturday classes specially designed for them. Ladies over 60 years of age can explore also the option of 'visiting instructor' and paint at home with a complete individualized study programme.
