Hello! Welcome to this online course. I'm Mayuri Das, a representational artist and art educator based in India. I specialize in creating artwork for galleries and commissions using traditional mediums like oils, charcoals, and watercolours, drawing inspiration from nature and the old masters' techniques.

​

In this course, I will guide you through the process of drawing an apple still life with charcoal. I’ll share my journey as an artist and educator, from mastering traditional techniques to teaching others how to create realistic and captivating art. Charcoal is one of my favourite mediums because of its expressive versatility, and I’m excited to show you how to use it to capture light, shadow, and texture effectively. Let’s get started on this creative journey together!
