Class Details

This ONLINE class is suitable for students of all abilities.

If you have always wanted to learn more about the history and techniques of Indian miniature painting, then this is the class for you!

We will start our time together with a presentation, taking a closer look at a selection of exquisite paintings from the differing schools of Indian miniature painting. Then Samantha will guide you through a fascinating exploration of the materials and traditional methods that bring this beautiful, detailed art form to life.

Once we’ve set the scene, Samantha will move on to a live, practical demonstration in which she will work on a small, delicate flower design in real time. She will walk you through the color filling process and offer a wonderful introduction to some of the finer detailing techniques that make miniature painting so mesmerizing.

While this class can be enjoyed purely as a sit back and watch experience, we will provide a reference photo ahead of time for those of you who fancy giving the techniques a try alongside her.

As always at Ardington, there's no rush and no pressure - just an inspiring afternoon immersed in a magnificent craft.
