Sketching & drawing foundations
Where beginners start — from holding a pencil and laying confident strokes to shading, proportion and realistic portrait sketching.
Painting Class & Art Studio · Ramna Maroti Road
Begin with a single stroke.
How to hold a pencil. How to lay down a confident line. How to draw a simple circle. At KD Art Academy, every artist starts with the smallest fundamentals and builds, patiently, into genuine skill — guided by Krunal Dhanjode Sir in New Diamond Nagar, Nagpur.
The KD approach
KD Art Academy is a painting class and art studio designed to carry a complete beginner all the way to confident, capable work — moving at their own pace, from early strokes right through to shading and proportion.
One-on-one, whatever your starting point
What sets the studio apart is the individual attention each student receives. Krunal Sir teaches methodically, breaking complex techniques into clear, manageable steps and letting every learner progress at their own speed. The atmosphere he keeps is friendly and free-spirited — calm yet disciplined — so students feel comfortable enough to experiment and grow in both skill and confidence.
Exam-grade rigour, hobby-friendly warmth
For learners who want their art to count, the academy coaches students for the government Elementary and Intermediate fine-art drawing exams — drilling line, proportion and observation until they become second nature. That same correct-technique foundation serves a child sitting their first drawing exam and an adult chasing a professional portfolio equally well.

I personally experienced that Sir teaches from the very basics — how to hold a pencil, how to put strokes, even how to draw a circle and rotate your hands, like nursery classes. Later, no need to explain — his own work and his students' works tell about their talent. Thank you so much Sir.

It's my resin mobile cover and it looks so glossy and amazing. Thanks to KD Art class for this. If you want your mobile cover, or photo frame, please visit KD Art Classes or DM to KD Sir.

Taking this art class was a turning point for me. I learned how to observe more deeply, express emotion through colour, and push through creative blocks. One of my favourite projects was a mixed-media self-portrait—it challenged me to think beyond traditional techniques.

Absolutely. The step-by-step method starts from the very first stroke, so enthusiasm matters far more than any prior experience — complete beginners are welcome and taught from the ground up.

Krunal Sir teaches methodically from the very beginning — how to hold a pencil, how to lay down a confident stroke, even how to draw a simple circle — breaking complex techniques into clear, manageable steps.
Is personal attention given to each student in the class?
Yes. One-on-one attention is what sets the studio apart; every learner moves at their own pace, from early strokes through to shading and proportion work.

Yes. Children have their own nurturing, confidence-building classes, and the step-by-step teaching breaks techniques into easy-to-follow steps suited to young learners.

Yes — from complete beginners starting with sketching foundations to advanced learners working on canvas, colour theory, mixed-media and realistic portraits, each student is guided according to their goal.

Not much at all — the step-by-step method starts from the very first stroke, so enthusiasm matters more than any prior kit or experience.
