about me
Hi, I'm Alka
I'm Alka Chauhan, and I run Canvas To Frames Fine Arts Classes from our studio in Sector 46. I paint (that Hanuman is mine), and I teach drawing and painting to children and adults.
Everyone starts the same way here: one apple, one light, and learning to really look. From there, some students go on to oil pastel and watercolour, some to charcoal portraits, some to clay and resin. A few go on to art college.
I write about what we make in the journal: the finished pieces, and the slow, smudgy middle bits too.
