The process of co-creating is very fullfilling to Mandar. He believes that everyone is an artist at the core. It's only a matter of connecting with that artistic spark within and then the magic hapens in front of us.

    Mandar puts his heart and soul into every painting he creates. I have enjoyed his works of art that are engaging and original. His classes feel like a one on one session that brings out the positive and artistic skills from his students. Alameda is fortunate to have a resident artist!!

    Mandar is an amazing artist and he’s equally as wonderful with kids. This is our second year in painting class with Mandar and my two 7 year olds love it! Besides teaching them skills, Mandar always comes up with creative and engaging projects. My boys have come home with many new pieces of art they are very proud of (and are frame worthy at home too). Highly recommend!

    I love taking art classes at Mandar Fine Art.  He begins his class with an art demonstration giving students directions and suggestions on how to create art from the first step of a stroke of a pencil to creating a beautiful image filled will colors of life and emotions.  He is available during the entire class and collaborates with students in achieving their vision.  He has a great energy where I feel relaxed, open, and inspired in my  creative process.  By the end of the class, I have created a beautiful picture and I walk away pleased with 100% satisfaction.  He is an excellent art teacher!

    There are times when you look and say wow that is talent! Then there are times when you say wow mastery!!!
    Mandar artistically captures the natural beauty in his artworks so masterfully.
    Not only that he recently offers youth clay and painting classes via AEF. And I’m happy at times he will host his small classes in his home studio.
    What a little gem he is for Alameda and Alameda artists of all ages! Not only I feel this way but my lil one loves in home studio small group settings as well

    Mandar is a very patient teacher, always supportive but showing you ways to improve what you are doing. I had never done Pastels until I came to his class. I am very much a beginner but am getting better thanks to Mandar. It is so inspiring to see him do a demonstration either in acrylic or pastel. Just with the slightest movement of his hand, he creates amazing effects. I would definitely recommend taking a class and learning about his way of looking at composition, color values and underpainting.

    Once again I am blown away by the best pastel inspiration I know, Mandar Wagholikar! Our Pastel class yesterday was fun and fantastic. I so enjoy pastels and having Mandar as instructor is an incredible experience. His attentiveness to each participant and individual suggestions were extremely helpful! I encourage you to dare to be expressive and painterly by taking one of his classes. I did and feel I’m a better painter each time I attend his class!
