Dive Into the Dreamy World of Watercolours: 

Let Your Brush Flow with Emotions and Colours !!

"Watercolor is a medium for reflection, both in the artistic process and in the art itself."  

Winslow Homer

Vanidas Mangathil

Watercolour Artist

I truly believe that there is a child residing deep within us. Just waking that child up takes us into the magical world of happiness and creativity. 

After much deliberations, I decided to grow to a child. The best path for such a journey, for me, was forming friendship lines and colours. The journey began by quitting my software day job and picking my brushes and colours instead. 

I am a self-taught artist dedicating my time in art practicing and knowledge sharing.

It was an amazing experience to learn Loose Watercolour Techniques from Vanidas Mangathil. He is a great teacher who simplifies the intricacies in an easy way. I started my watercolour journey recently and was struggling to have loose and suggestive ways to paint landscapes. I joined his course which led in amazing results in my watercolour works. I have no hesitation in recommending his course to people aspiring excellence in watercolour works.

In each class, starting from simple sketch to finished painting, you are transported through magical world of watercolours in a playful, Collaborative way, feeling richer as well as motivated.
