"This class was so much fun and amazing. Meghana aunty taught passionately and took her time to explain techniques and helped us. She focused on each and everyone in the class. Although the painting was a little complex, with an amazing teacher like Meghana aunty, it is very easy!" - Renushree, California
"This was my first painting class ever. I had always wondered how Meghana created those wonderful paintings and wanted to learn. Meghana was so patient with a first timer like me. We could feel her energy and passion for painting. She focused on each and every student in the class and made sure we understood the concepts. I took this class with my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the father-daughter time. Thanks to Meghana for the wonderful class!" - Sendhil Kumaran, California |

Beautiful Decoupage Crafts by Mona Das
|
Mona Das is a dear friend and a big supporter of my artwork. She has not only encouraged me to take my art career to next levels, but also been a pillar of strength to boost my confidence in conducting events including online classes. I will always be grateful to my amazing friend. Mona Das is a perfectionist; she has attended a number of decoupage classes with me, and now become an expert herself!
I am proud to present these beautiful crafts made by Mona Das! "Had been wanting to learn decoupage for a while and found the perfect teacher Was a little apprehensive about an online class but Meghana was wonderful! She broke everything down into very simple steps and processes. And was very patient and guided us through the project so beautifully. I love the craft and learned enough in the class to make more on my own. It was a perfect hobby to learn during this time and I'm so happy I could learn from Meghana. Thank you! Looking forward to working in a different project with you, Meghana." - Mona Das, Illinois |

Awesome Button roses and comments about the workshop

"This was my second class with Meghana. The incredible results of my first workshop gave me the confidence to explore this one. Painting roses were not easy but Meghana guided and encouraged me every step of the way. The end result was stunning - way better then I could imagine. Picked up a lot of cool tricks and techniques that makes me excited and more comfortable with watercolors." - Swati Bohra, California
"I've known Meghana for long, and I first want to say that I admire her work, and am very impressed with the level of thought and detailing she's put into the painting workshops! This is my first painting workshop ever, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The classes were welcoming, interesting, and had a very good mix of theoretical techniques & practice. She is a very friendly and patient teacher, and takes you step by step, giving one on one attention and guidance to each individual. She figured out where I was on my creative journey, encouraged me, and gave me great feedback and tips to move forward. :) Thank you. |
The love she has towards the art, and her enthusiasm for what she does shine through. I would love to be able to take more classes with her in the future, and learn more!" - Veena Valsakumar, New Jersey

"It was a great pleasure learning these water color techniques with you Meghana! After 10 years of gap I am really loving using this medium and it was possible only because of you. Thank you for the awesome step by step class. Loved the one on one interaction in a small grp of class! Looking forward to hearing about more classes in future!" - Soumya Subash, Illinois
"This is my maiden attempt using professional watercolor paper, paint, brush and tried to paint iris flower(any water color painting). I really loved both of your sessions. I didn't feel like the virtual session at all. You gave private attention to every single individual, corrected each of our mistakes , gave us enough time to understand and make corrections. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your teaching. You were very patient with our mistakes and made us understand without rushing. Also, you taught us the different painting technique, I really admired the way you explained them. Waiting for more sessions with you ." - Sowndarya, Texas |
"I absolutely loved my first watercolor painting workshop with Meghana. She is a great teacher who patiently guided us step by step on making an Iris. She was warm, encouraging and was able to help each of us personally where we needed help.
I would absolutely encourage anyone who wants to try watercolor painting to give her workshops a try. You will come out learning a lot!"
- Swati Bohra, California
"Although I had experience in working with watercolor prior to this workshop, I believe this session helped improve my skills because of the way Meghana Aunty explained the process of painting a subject in focus step-by-step and offered her advice every step of the way. I attended a class to learn how to paint an Iris but the knowledge I gained can be applied to all of my future paintings. I highly recommend this workshop to painters of all levels!" - Aditi Venkataraman, California

"I learned a lot. This was my first ever painting class and I can’t believe I was able to create a painting that I can display in my home. I would love to do this again." - Shriya Shah, California
"I absolutely loved my first painting workshop with Meghana. I got some of my friends together and she took us through a step by step process in painting this very pretty poppy. What I loved the most about her class was spending time watercolor techniques and the smaller components that would go into making the painting. We were all absolute beginners. She was extremely patient with us and really wanted us to learn. It was also a really fun group activity. Would definitely recommend!" - Koel Sinha, California |
"I really enjoyed the session on Saturday. Learnt a lot of new techniques. Water color painting to me before was just bold color to fill up the space but all new styles that you showed really bring out the essence of this painting style. I wanted to try it again. I was super jazzed after the session and just continued to do one small bit of it after our call." - Samruddhi Deshpande, California
