Oil Painting Workshop

Meet Your Instructor – Priya Hegde

I am Priya Hegde, an artist, graphic designer, Heartfulness meditation trainer, and facilitator of Heartful Communication.

Hello and welcome to the Beginners Oil Painting Classes.

My journey with oil painting began in my teenage years. Watching my mother paint sparked my interest, and by the time I was in college, oil painting had become a medium that felt both natural and deeply engaging to me. Over the years, I have explored the work and techniques of many artists, experimenting and learning continuously to discover approaches that best support my own creative expression.

For me, painting is much more than a skill—it is an ongoing journey of learning, self-discovery, and creativity. The process itself can be deeply absorbing and reflective, bringing a sense of calm, fulfillment, and joy.

Through these classes, I look forward to sharing my experiences, practical techniques, and insights into working with oils. Whether you are picking up a paintbrush for the first time or returning to a long-forgotten interest, my goal is to help you build confidence, enjoy the creative process, and discover the unique satisfaction that comes from creating your own artwork.

I look forward to painting with you.
