About Me

Hi, I'm Sahil Singhmar — an artist, mentor, and the founder of Sahil Singhmar Art Academy.

What started as a simple hobby soon turned into a deep passion, and from there, I began taking commission work for clients across India and abroad. Each artwork taught me something new and pushed me to grow as an artist.

With time, I realized that art isn't just about creating — it's about sharing. That's when I stepped into teaching, and over the last 3 years as an art teacher (with 5 years of experience as an artist), I've had the privilege of teaching students from Australia, Canada, Germany, India, and many more countries.

My teaching is rooted in my own journey — learning through practice, mistakes, and breakthroughs. I believe art is not about talent, but about clarity, consistency, and mindset. That's what I bring into my courses like Master the Pencil and Pencil Fundamentals, helping students grow step by step into confident, creative artists.

Today, I continue to create, teach, and learn alongside my students. My mission is simple: to make art learning accessible, inspiring, and life-changing for anyone who dreams of drawing.
