I consider Tanjore art is one of the difficult arts vibha made it easy to achieve that too through online. Her techniques are good and we were able to follow her on live sessions. I want to learn more Tanjore paintings with Tanjore collective.

Thank you Vibha and Yashaswini for being so patience in teaching each and every step of the process and making us so confident in completing the art with perfection.

Tanjore painting is a beautiful and intricate art form, known for its rich colors, compact composition and surface richness, which makes it truly special. Creating my first Tanjore Painting of Lord Hanuman with Tanjore Collective Art Studio through their online classes was incredible.

I enrolled for online ganesha tanjore painting course with vibha. This is my first attempt at any form of painting so I was naturally doubtful if I could do this, but the way Vibha taught the process step by step without even realising i was able to see the Tanjore painting come to life by following the steps.

I took up the Gaja lakshmi course online. Initially I was quite sceptical as to how the online classes would be, as this art form is quite detailed and needs a lot of focus and attention. But at Tanjore Collective, Vibha and team have made it possible for everyone out there to easily learn and master the art form.

Yes, absolutely. The class is designed to take you from scratch. Our gurus have 35+ years of experience and have taught 3,000+ students, guiding you step by step — no prior experience needed.

I already know some Tanjore painting. Is this class still worth it?

Yes. Our gurus teach professional techniques and material choices refined over decades, so even experienced painters pick up refinements they had not seen before.

What if I miss a class?

Every session is recorded and shared with you. You will have access to the recordings for up to one month after the course ends, so you can catch up or revise anytime.

Can I use my own materials?

You can, but we strongly recommend our kit. The quality of materials directly affects the final result, and our kit contains the same professional-grade supplies we use for our own paintings.

A laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection and Zoom installed. Our guru teaches with 3 cameras and 2 monitors so you can see every technique up close.

Can I join from outside India?

The course runs over several weeks with two sessions per week. The exact start date, days, and timings are listed on the course page. Most students complete their painting within the course.

Do I get a certificate?

Will I be able to paint on my own afterwards?

Yes. The course takes you through every step from canvas preparation to the final finishing touches, so you can create Tanjore paintings independently afterwards.
