Dipti Jesrani

21-day sketching challenge

I have really enjoyed the class with you. All the sessions were organized and well layered. I picked up on so many insights on composition, textures, shading with a pen along with what I had signed up for. My son Nameer who was injured joined me for on a couple days and drew just as well as me. This speaks volumes about your instructions and simplicity of your teaching.

Thank you for making drawing so easy and teaching how to approach it without fear.

Regular Participant

This is the second live workshop I attended by Alekhyam and already enrolled for the third one. I have also enrolled for recorded classes. The reason is simple, the curriculum, engagement, clarity and simplicity of teaching is amazing. I have recommended this course to many. Nikita teaches with lot of sincerity and empathy.

14-days of watercolour Journaling

Alekhyam meets you where you are. That's very important more so when learning later in life. Full credit to our art instructor for her patience and gift for teaching. Never thought an online course could be so effective 

Dr. Ravisha

Divine watercolours course

It is very divine indeed. I haven't been able to follow instructors like I can follow you. Very well paced and explained.

  • 2–3 round brushes
  • Waterproof black fineliner
  • Pencil + eraser
  • White gel pen (optional)
  • Will you teach doodling too?

    Yes. Each artwork includes simple doodles to personalise your painting-tiny characters, accents, and fun details.

    I don’t have time to practice. Will I still benefit?

    Yes. This is designed for busy schedules. You only need to show up for the live session (or replay). The goal is to enjoy the process, not perfection.

    Is it okay if my painting doesn’t look like yours?

    Absolutely. Watercolour has its own flow. You’ll learn the process, and your version will naturally be different-and that’s part of the creative process.
