How the course moves
Who this is for
- Devotional artists starting from scratch
One portrait, fully guided from pencil sketch to finished painting. No scattered techniques. - Painters who want softer skin tones
Watercolour skin can turn muddy fast. This course teaches wet-on-wet layering and water control to keep it soft. - Artists who want the drawing taught first
Proportions and feature placement are taught step by step before the brush comes out. - Anyone looking for a quiet, focused project
One subject, learned deeply. A meditative creative practice that gives you something to keep or gift.
What changes after 5 hours
- More stable portrait drawing
You learn to measure and place eyes, nose, and mouth before any paint touches the paper. - Cleaner skin softness
Wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and edge control - you understand when to use each. - Better devotional expression
The eyes and expression are built in stages so the face stays soft, not overworked. - A full project method
Sketch first, then skin, then details. You know the sequence and can repeat it.
What you gain
- One finished Baby Krishna portrait - sketched, painted, and completed by you from start to finish.

That is the point of the course. It stays with one portrait long enough for the method to become usable.
“I teach this portrait the way I paint it myself - sketch first, then skin, then expression. Five hours is enough to finish it properly if each stage is taught in order.”
