Maybe you’re picking up a brush for the first time, or starting again after a gap. We keep the pace friendly, explain each step and build skills one day at a time.

More Reviews:

I’m really glad I joined this workshop and stayed consistent. It has been deeply therapeutic, and I’m genuinely proud of how far I’ve come – especially since I had never been able to work with watercolours before this.

The 14 Days of Watercolour Journaling was one of my best learning experiences. The sessions were easy to follow, techniques were explained clearly, and all my queries were answered on time. Thank you for simplifying such a beautiful art form.

Shraddha Daka

The 14-Day Watercolour Challenge by Alekhyam Arts was one of the most immersive and creatively enriching experiences of my life. After a long work day, I would look forward to practising mindful art and losing myself in the magic of watercolours.

basic sketching and proportions,
brush control and water handling,
how to navigate the platform for live links and replays.

This preparation lets you use the live sessions fully for composition, colour and journaling concepts instead of struggling with basics.

Live sessions run from 1st–23rd December 2025 (Monday to Thursday), in the evenings as mentioned on this page.

We meet on a Zoom webinar, and you can join directly from:

your Alekhyam Student Dashboard on the website, or
the Alekhyam Arts mobile app.

This is a lecture-style workshop (not a one-to-one or open group-discussion format). You can post your questions in the Q&A; common questions are answered towards the end of each live session or via WhatsApp/community support.

If you miss a live session, you can continue without stress. Every class recording is added to your Student Dashboard for on-demand streaming, so you can:

catch up later the same day or next day, and
rewatch key concepts and demos as many times as you like.

Replays are available until 21 Feb 2026. They are meant to support the live workshop and are not a separate recorded course. Access cannot be extended beyond the mentioned date.

All links stay in one place:

Post your journal pages and final artworks on our community platform Tamboora (www.tamboora.in) to get encouragement and structured feedback from mentors and peers.

For deeper, ongoing feedback beyond the 14 days, we encourage you to stay active on Tamboora and use our community spaces instead of expecting one-to-one reviews in live class time.

To help you build a long-term habit, you’ll receive:

Around 5 post-workshop recorded lessons focusing on key concepts you can repeat and adapt.
A suggested practice roadmap for the weeks after the workshop.
Ongoing access to the Tamboora community so you can keep sharing work, joining challenges and staying inspired.
