THE CURRICULUM
A structured, practice-focused programme — every session builds on the last, and every class ends with a finished acrylic artwork.
PRICING
WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The studio's acrylic painting classes were such a confidence booster — the instructors broke down layering and blending techniques so clearly that even as a complete beginner I left with a painting I'm proud of.
We booked a private acrylic painting session for my daughter's birthday and the team made it so much fun for the kids — patient guidance and every child went home with a canvas they loved.
The studio's weekend acrylic painting course pushed my technique so much further than I expected — thoughtful feedback on every piece and a genuinely warm, encouraging space to learn in. Already signed up for the next batch.

Acrylic forgives mistakes in a way most other paints don't — paint over it, layer it, scrape it back and start again, all within minutes because it dries so fast. That's exactly why it's the medium most people should learn first, and why it rewards proper technique once you're past the basics. This page covers what an acrylic painting class actually teaches, who it suits, the schedule and formats, materials, cost, and how to enrol across Delhi NCR.
Acrylic classes cover colour mixing, layering, blending, and brush and palette-knife technique, building from flat washes to textured, built-up surfaces. You'll learn to control drying time with mediums and retarders, work wet-on-wet for soft blends, and build depth through glazing thin, transparent layers over a dry base. Complete beginners start with the fundamentals; the same skills scale to advanced textural and layering work.
The teaching moves in a specific order because acrylic technique actually builds this way: first colour theory and mixing clean, unmuddy colour, then brush control and basic blending, then working with mediums that slow drying time or add texture, and finally layering and glazing for depth. Skipping ahead to textured, advanced work before the fundamentals are solid usually just produces muddy, overworked canvases.
Acrylic dries in minutes rather than hours or days, sits opaque on the surface rather than letting light through it, and can be thinned to a wash or built up thick like oil, depending on how much water or medium you mix in. That range is the whole appeal — no other common medium moves this easily between transparent and opaque, or between fast, forgiving beginner work and slow, deliberate layering for advanced pieces.
Compare that to watercolour, which stays translucent and can't be painted over once it's down, or oil, which stays workable for days but takes weeks to fully cure. Acrylic sits in the middle: corrections are possible almost immediately, but the piece is dry and stable within a day. For a beginner deciding where to start, that combination of forgiveness and speed makes acrylic the more practical first medium, even if you plan to explore watercolour or folk-art forms like Lippan mirror-work or Madhubani later.
Acrylic's forgiving nature means the same class genuinely works across a wide range of starting points, with the content adjusted to where you are.
If you've never held a brush with intent, acrylic is the kindest place to start. Mistakes paint over in seconds, so the fear of "ruining" a canvas mostly disappears. Early sessions focus on mixing colour that isn't muddy and basic brush control, both of which click faster than people expect.
Already comfortable with basic colour and brushwork? Sessions move into blending, working with mediums to control drying time, and glazing — thin, transparent layers that build real depth once you understand how they interact.
For painters who want to get properly good at one thing — heavy impasto texture, palette-knife work, or controlled wet-on-wet blending on a large canvas — sessions can focus entirely on that skill rather than working through a general curriculum.
There's more than one way to fit acrylic classes into your week:
| Format | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| In-studio | Hands-on learners wanting direct guidance | Materials set up; ~2 hrs per session |
| Online — live | Learners outside Delhi or short on time | Real-time feedback; simple material list shared ahead |
| Online — recorded | Self-paced learners | Rewatch technique demos as needed |
| Weekly batches | Steady, compounding progress | Skills build in sequence week to week |
A single session runs around two hours, long enough to complete a technique exercise or a small piece without rushing the drying time between layers. If you'd rather test the medium in one sitting before committing to a course, our general canvas painting workshop is a lower-commitment single session covering acrylic basics.
For in-studio classes, everything's provided:
For online classes, you get a short materials list in advance — acrylic paint, a few brushes, and canvas or board are inexpensive and easy to source, so there's little barrier to starting from home.
Price depends on format and commitment rather than one flat number. What shapes it:
A course rather than single sessions is where technique actually compounds, since layering and glazing skills build on what came before. Tell us your level and preferred format, and you'll get clear pricing before enrolling.
The studio is in C.R. Park, South Delhi, easily reached from South Delhi, Greater Kailash, Nehru Place, and the wider Delhi NCR area. If you've searched for acrylic painting classes near you in the capital region, this is a genuine in-person, guided option rather than a one-size video course.
Too far for a weekly trip? The live online class delivers the same guided teaching at home, and the recorded course removes the travel question entirely.
Getting started takes a couple of minutes:
Classes are led by folk-art fusion artist Rajni Dutta and her full-time team of practising commission artists, who teach under her direct mentorship. That matters for a technique-heavy medium like acrylic, since the guidance comes from people who use these techniques on real commissioned work, not just a fixed lesson script.
For a sense of the credibility behind the teaching: the studio has been featured by Hindustan Times, Business Standard, ThePrint, and ANI, and has run creative sessions for organisations including Airbnb, Qualcomm, upGrad, and Shoppers Stop. There's more about Rajni and the studio if you'd like the fuller background.
If acrylic turns out to be just one interest among several, the broader art classes for adults page covers the full range on offer, including watercolour and Indian folk-art forms, if you'd rather explore more than one medium.
Yes. Acrylic is a forgiving medium — mistakes paint over quickly — which makes it one of the easiest paints to start with. Early sessions focus on colour mixing and basic brush control before moving into more advanced technique.
Acrylic dries fast, sits opaque, and forgives corrections; watercolour stays translucent and can't be painted over once it's down. Acrylic suits beginners who want to correct mistakes easily; watercolour suits those drawn to its soft, layered transparency.
Colour mixing, brush and palette-knife control, blending, working with mediums to control drying time, and glazing thin layers for depth. Advanced sessions can focus on specific skills like impasto texture or large-scale wet-on-wet blending.
Both. You can learn hands-on at the C.R. Park studio, join a live online class, or follow recorded lessons at your own pace. Weekly batches are also available for steady, compounding progress.
Yes for in-studio classes — paints, canvas, brushes, palette knives, and mediums are all provided. Online students get a short, affordable materials list in advance.
