Art making need not be hard.
There is a process to it and once you understand it, you can make good art!
Let me show you how:
Welcome to this Photo to Oil Painting Course!
Here you'll learn:
- how to take a simple looking photo and find a pleasing composition in it,
- do a value study to get the shapes and values clarified
- choose a color scheme based on the mood you want the final painting to have
- adjust the drawing to accentuate the feel of the painting and finally,
- paint the scene with confidence that it will turn into a successful painting!
"I love to draw but I need guidance"
"I want to improve my landscape painting skills so that I can..."
"I want to paint flowers, fruits, ..."
"I wanted to re-start drawing/painting after a gap of a couple of years. Found Art-Insider platform to be an excellent way to ramp up. Courses there are easy to pick up and are very effective. Mandar's online sessions are also wonderful as you paint things step-by-step along with him and at each stage you can compare/adjust. Wish to recommend Mandar's Art Insider to anyone wishing to enter this field."

"I am really enjoying and learning a lot from your Art Insider lessons. Right from the lesson on composition and perspective, I learnt how to simplify and rearrange the landscape sketches to get a well designed landscape. The various types of techniques and methods that you have taught us, are extremely useful. Your method of teaching is also very lucid and easy to follow."
"I love my Art Insider membership! I had expected that I would learn to paint, but I had not expected I would learn to see the world more keenly. Nature’s tapestry of colors, shades, and shapes is more real to me now. This adds value to my life every time I step outside. Mandar’s teaching style is superb; he truly listens to his students’ questions and customises each session to meet a range of learning levels. Our live sessions are recorded so that we can go back and review these whenever we choose. The live sessions and the Facebook group enable a community of aspiring painters to share the experience. I highly recommend this membership to others."
“This workshop was very interesting and effective. sessions were more lively and Mandar Sir beautifully taught us basic techniques and also made sure to answer all our doubts. I started after long time and at the end I am able to draw better then before.”

“I liked how simplified the training session was. My sense of accomplishment after the acrylic painting workshop was immensely gratifying. Mandar Marathe Sir patiently explained painting techniques and answered numerous questions."
"Very simple, clear and easily implementable steps for a beginner to increase his/her confidence, and pursue this art further. Gives a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment after one has built one of these idols."
I help people make great art by simplifying the art making process.
But my ability to do that doesn’t come from an art degree from a prestigious art school. I started making art at an early age but it remained a serious hobby till I had spent 15 years in corporate career. After I gave up the IT career and chose to become a full time artist, I also started teaching art.
Through various experiments while teaching, I found a way to simplify the painting process. This process helps my students start making good art in a short span of time.
More than 20000 students from over 122 countries have benefited from my courses.
